I've noticed the round 1x1 thing too. I have also noticed, though not always,
that there is often what appears to be part of the sprue for the 1x1s in the
box too- tho not attached to them. Perhaps the machine makes them in pairs,

bag? I think "sprue" is the right word here? I'm thinking of the bars that
model peices are attached to when you buy a model set.
