Hi Bryanne
You are in correct in that the only way to purchase the Discover Set right now is through the class pack option. I know this can be frustrating for community-based organizations. We have brought that feedback to FIRST, but I will be sure
to reiterate the frustration, because your point is valid and I don’t think you are the only organization in this position.
Aside from coupling with another organization, there are not many other options. I do have a few ideas, but I will connect with you separately off the ListServ.

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Discovery age group
All,
I need help-- I'm so frustrated.
Does anyone know how to get a FIRST® LEGO® League Discover set outside of buying the 30 required when buying through FIRSTInspires.org? I run a small community-based organization that runs 1 team in each age group and literally need 1 Discover
set; I have two (maybe 3) kids in this 4-6 age group and they are requiring a whole pack (30 kids!!) be purchased together ($395 + shipping and fees); we just can't afford that. And you can't order individuals unless you first purchase the class pack. Has
anyone else ordered and have an extra set/overage, maybe? Is someone going to order and I can add on?
This new model is brutal for neighborhood and community group-based teams.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Bryanne Peterson
