If managed properly, this would actually help make game pieces available. The demand for a FIRST game piece is mostly in a one-month time frame, and constitutes several years of normal demand. If FIRST orders 100,000 game pieces for base kits and competition, the manufacturer is not likely to make all of the 200,000 needed to fill the short-term demand. On the other hand, if many teams make this selection, and FIRST orders 200,000, the manufacturer is much more likely to make the other 100,000.
