I believe i saw some Merak boxes in the Axiom warehouse. I wouldn't be surprised if Ian still had some of these 'in stock' so to speak. These are most likely some of the stock he provides for charities and donations though if i were to guess.

Maybe Ford can confirm this if he is still heading to Dwight in the next while.
