Maybe the mask bag are in a certain prodution order, a certain number now, a couple weeks later some different masks, a so on and so forth. Only a couple different masks are availible now, both in the cans and the separate bags. Probably done so they can stretch the product line over 2 years or how ever long. I bought 10 of each Throwbot/Slizers from a variety of sources: Lego S@H, K-mart(online and Off), KBkids(online and Off), Etoys, Target (Online) and All I ever got for the original 8 were 2 pip and 3 pip discs.(NONE OTHERS) I didn't do this a one time either, I spent 18 months from start to finish, and I am still going (Need 3 more Flares- why is he hard to find) So either all my sets even over a period of time all came from a first prodution run, or I am exteremly unlucky. Maybe with the releases of each new "Web Event" they will change prodution lines or runs. Just my $00.02 //VR Keef
