How can you draw that conclusion? Which items are also in the kit of parts are clearly identified on the item pages in FIRST Choice.

Here is an example

I am drawing the conclusion that I need to wake up more before I begin posting on Chief Delphi, especially on New Year's Day.

My apologies for being less than helpful this morning.

You are correct; the FirstChoice website clearly does say that some items are going to be in the KOP, either the black or green tote, while many items will not be in either tote.

What I meant to express is, I don't think the listings on FirstChoice tell us much one way or another about the game at this point. Many of the items on FirstChoice were once included in the KOP. The idea behind FirstChoice, as I have always understood it, is to give us the option of restocking the things we use, or adding things we would like to have in stock, while avoiding adding more things we already have more than enough of. The fact that Denso motors will not be in either tote doesn't tell me that they won't be useful, or that they will be.

Thanks for putting up with me. Happy New Year!

A lot of stuff in FIRST choice is just excess inventory of AndyMark's/other companies donating. Such as the IR Transmitter from 2008 that's been in FIRST Choice the last two years; nothing's happened with it.
