That got me thinking, how often are Rider suits actually destroyed? I know Gaoh's suit was recycled for Yuuki, The First/Next suits were recycled for the gold and silver riders in that one Den-O movie, and Gills was ruined by water damage.

It seems like they keep most everything for future crossovers, so are there any other suits that got destroyed, and is there any insight into why a suit is destroyed/recycled like that?

I remember hearing that the Another Agito suit was also lost. I would assume that Toei is trying harder to keep major Rider suits around now, though, given how many team-ups and crossovers they're doing these days. I suspect that if something like the Blade or OOO suit got heavily damaged Toei would construct a new one pretty quickly.
