Great Kit!
I will get one for my nephew and know he is on his way to learning about Electronics.

A shame the international shipping fee (plus my local taxes) make this prohibitively expensive for me.
I wish there was an “open source electronics kit” project so that I could just head to the nearest parts supplier, buy a lot of gizmos, go home, download the documentation and learn electronics.
