The major problem with this is everybody already has all

2 nad 3 pip discs from the sets, but you end up getting more of them just to
get the higher pip discs.  What a crock.

Uh, no.  It's called "collectability".  The higher pip value ones were more
rare that the lower pip value ones.

It's the same thing done with Magic cards, Pokemon cards... well, just about
any kind of card, really.  You get lots of more common cards for every rarer
card.  If you want all the cards- including all the rare ones- you either have
to trade for the other rare ones, or end up with a lot of more common ones.

If you feel ripped off by that, you should probably not bother to try to
collect them all.  Collecting isn't for everyone.

No matter what Lego says, the distribution of discs in the Throwbot/Slizer sets was not Random. The pictures of the sets that were on the on-lin catalog showed exactly the discs that came with the sets. The extra disc boxes aren't quite random (...)
