Look, no one debates that the toys are too clean. I doubt anyone here thinks it was not staged. However, I question whether the three photos are conclusive proof that he was getting them out of the suitcase and putting them around in these pictures.

Perhaps, he did put them around, and the suitcase picture is where he gathered them up afterward to use in another scene.

Really what caught my eye about it was that the suitcase is all ripped up. It looked to me like the suitcase may have been pulled from the rubble as something in which to put the toys. Dunno.

What I do believe, though, it is that it is staged.

"What I do believe, though, it is that it is staged."

We're in agreement then.

The "suitcase" (really, a travel bag, or sportsbag) is simply UNZIPPED, not "ripped up.

The inside of the bag, and the bag itself are clean and pristine. Why? Because they just came from HIS car. NOT from the destroyed house he is placing the toys around.
