Expansion sets questions

Feeling quite ignorant here...last year I bought my son 9735 Robotics Discovery
Set for Christmas.

This year, since I just can't let cheap Lego sit on a shelf ;-) I picked up
9730 RoboSports,9732 Extreme Creatures and 9736 Exploration Mars.

Those boxes all say they require Robotics Invention System. Sooo... 9730,9732
and 9736 pretty much won't do my son any good since we have 9735 Discovery and
not an Invention Kit??

Will my 11 year old have fun with these sets anyway? Or will he think I'm a
moron for giving him expansion sets that he doesn't have the main set for?

Should I hold off on giving these to him until we get the RIS?

Thanks!
Julie
