AndyMark's home page has been updated to reflect a hopeful(! <-- the exclamation point is AM's, not mine) game piece availability date of January 24th. It was previously the 18th.

Since they become far less valuable to teams as the build season progresses, I believe FIRST should eat a $1.00 price drop for every week they fail to be available. Thusly:

Week 2: $3.25
Week 3: $2.25
Week 4: $1.25
Week 5: $0.25
Week 6: -$0.75

Hence, FIRST would pay *us* $0.75 for each game piece we order when they finally show up in Week 6...profit! Sign me up for 1000 of each.

^1000

Seriously - good faith PR would dictate doing something along these lines (stopping short of paying us for the pieces, alas) to compensate teams for the lost value of having extra game pieces in their possession earlier in the build. Bring on the discounts!
