The dice included in the "Pound-O-Dice" package, as clearly stated in the product description, are "Factory Seconds." This means that these dice -for whatever reason- did not pass the final Quality-Check Inspection.
These reasons could include -but are not limited to- the following:
1. Production Over-run; The work order was completed, and these dice were the leftovers completed while changing over to the next work order.
2. Wrong Color; The color of the die -body or number markings- did not match what was specified in that particular work order.
3. Experimental Color; The development team tried a body/marking combination that didn't work (hard to read, otherwise unpopular or didn't sell well).
4. Transition Color; Work order 1 in color A has been completed, and the production line switches to color B for work order 2. The dice are then automatically rejected until they come out fully in color B.
5. Painting Error; The numbers/other markings did not get painted properly.
6. Incomplete Casting; During the molding process, the mold cavity did not completely fill, producing a misshapen or otherwise incomplete and unusable die.
7. Damaged Product; Somewhere along the production line, the die has gotten scuffed, chipped, broken or even welded to another die.
For the first five reasons listed above, the rejected dice still meet all other QC standards. They are still every bit the equals of the dice you would find in the $15 gaming set on the shelf at your local gaming/hobby shop; they're just odd, mismatched colors.
Over the last ten years, I have ordered eight of the Pound-O-Dice packages. Out of those packages, I have gotten a grand total of FOUR unusable dice: one incomplete casting D10 (discarded), one broken D8 (discarded), and two D6[pips] that were welded together (kept because "why not"). All other dice from those packages went into my ever-expanding collection of spare dice. I've gotten some dice in very interesting color combinations that I'm fairly certain do not exist anywhere else (half color A/half color B; a result of transitioning the molds from color A to Color B).
If you want full dice sets, buy the individual sets from your local gaming/hobby shop, or the Wiz Dice Series II 100+ Pack. If all you need is just "more dice," then the Chessex Pound-O-Dice is the most cost-effective way to go that I have found.
I will happily continue to purchase the Chessex Pound-O-Dice whenever I feel the need to add to the collection, because, as any table-top RPG gamer will tell you, there's no such thing as "too many dice."
-10 d4s
-25 d6
-6 d8
-23 d10
-15 d12
-22 d20
-4 percentile dice
making a grand total of 105 dice.
Now the reason I went with the Chessex set of dice is because it offered a chance to get more d6s (as I wanted to give some away). I got a little less than I thought I would but keep in mind that in the product description it says "quantities weighted in favor of d6s, d10s, and d20s." Something I overlooked myself. Also, this is not the product for you if you are looking for complete sets. It comes with one speckled set and for me that was the only one.
The good:
You get a lot of dice for a good price and there is a decent assortment of colors (i.e. marbled, speckled, and opaque) and varying sizes for the d6s. And for the most part the dice were of decent quality (as far as chips, scratches and the like).
The bad:
Although there is a good assortment of colors I found some to be unattractively speckled. This isn't a big deal for most and for it being random it was pretty good all-in-all. The only things I didn't like was a d4 that has a messed up side, a d6 that has a side with no pips, and a clear d4 and d20 that are awful. The clear d4 has a cutoff design for the edges that I didn't like and a small chip. And the clear d20 has double 8s on it.
--------------
All-in-all:
The reason this gets 5 stars is because I got everything the product description told me I would. Although some of the dice were flawed (only 4 from what I could see) and some weren't to my liking based on color it's a good way to get a lot of dice.

I got a far better deal, and am very happy with my purchase. A few of the dice are downright beautiful and make me want to buy a set of just that style. While many of the dice aren't exactly pretty, only three of them look like a factory reject: 2 spent slightly too long in the polisher and some of the numbers are partially missing (still useable though), and the other has a terrible color scheme that makes it difficult to read (still useable, but you have to get pretty close to tell the number). I got a disproportionate number of d20s (you only ever need 1), but otherwise the set is pretty balanced. The full set that came with it is a simple white with red lettering. It's not exactly award winning, but I think it fits a vampire NPC I have in the current DnD game, so I think it's perfect. I'm overjoyed with my purchase and highly recommend it if you're looking to start or refill a dice bag.
All in all, here is what I got:
d20- 27 (-2 that were overpolished)
d12- 10
d100- 5 (-1 that has a bad color scheme)
d10- 22
d8- 8
d6- 16 (12 numbered, 3 pipped, 1 mini-pipped)
d4- 8
+ 1 Complete set (bone white with red lettering)
Out of that one bag you have enough dnd sets for 5 players (with extras), enough white wolf sets for 2 players, and enough shadowrun dice for 1 player. That's a pretty great deal and definitely beats buying sets, at least for me. It's a great value and much better than I expected. My dice bag overfloweth once again.
Top reviews from other countries
I got the hot pink speckled set, from other reviews it seems to be the norm. They clearly stand out, but the "gold" can be a bit hard to read on the pink background.
I have grouped the dice in my pictures as follow:
The special full set in one picture
A picture for each type, excluding the damaged dice
A picture with just the damaged dice.
Some of the damaged ones just have one corner chipped, and are probably useable, while others seems to have lost the top coating on all the corners.
For the price, i guess it is okay, but 15% loss is not okay when it is not advertised as factory rejected.

27 x D8
20x D9
8x D12
7x D8
5x D6 (numbers)
15x D6 - Pips (6 large, 9 small)

Plus the regular pink set. 105 altogether. Already ordered a second bag.
If you want complete sets, the Wiz Dice Bag is the way to go (got that one too). This one is great just for the random aspect, though not everyone likes that.
