It looks like FIRST won't be any more items to FIRST Choice after kickoff this year. I found this comment (which appears to be posted by an FRC staff member) in the comments section of the blog post about FIRST choice. (http://www.usfirst.org/comment/1869#comment-1869)

There are no current plans to close FIRST Choice or add items after it opens for ordering. I say "no current plans" because, while unlikely, we can't rule out the possibility of an amazing donation of a boatload of expensium nuggets that may come in after we open FIRST Choice. If this were to happen, we'd spend a lot of time debating if we should post it to FIRST Choice or hold on to it for next year. Also if this were to happen, we'll blog that we're going to do that. And, if it's after the initial order phase, likely give teams more credits so they can obtain the new item.
