I know that if I was working there I would offer to buy them all as a bulk lot (they would be really cheap) and then refinish them myself and sell them as fanmade over a period of time. It would save someone a lot of time and effort to produce a great fan made dome.

That would defeat the purpose of the original limited run if "refurbished" units hit the market en mass. The purpose is to have a limited edition of a complete finished helmet produced by eFX. Anything left over is their property to destroy as they see fit, but I think contractually they would have to destroy anything that wasn't sold as part of the licensed run. Making such an offer to buy them for resale would land you without a job pretty quick.
Didn't they already change the number of legends because the website ordering system messed up due to not being able to handle the traffic volume ?
Anyway it's good that they are having these damaged items returned whether they salvage some by refurbishing or just destroy the lot.
I remember when HGC screwed up the electronics with the 5th element blaster and let everyone keep them and sent out new replacements to them and everyone on the rpf was singing their praises for it.
It was blindingly obvious to me that they just did that to save a bundle of money for themselves and not some altruistic gesture on their part.
I don't personally give a crap about edition numbers etc but i thought that was a pretty crappy move to pull on those that do and the company justifies the prices based partly on those numbers.
