We bought this for my five year old son as his big "finale" Christmas present. He'd been after us for about a year for one of these sets, but given the expense involved at retail locations we had to hold off for an event. A couple of weeks ago we paid a paltry $110 for the above. Perhaps it will come down again later, maybe it was a mistake.Regardless, this item is indeed worth it at twice the price. The quality of all components is faultless. The case is well worth it, and holds all parts securely. Each bay is even labeled. The books are very well made, printed with bright sharp colors and well written. So far the projects are well paced for my son and I. He can follow the diagrams and put most of them together with only occasional clarification provided by myself.You will want to do this with your kids. Or, I guess, I think you SHOULD want to do this with your kids. My five year old quickly decided he wanted to design his own circuits. He was able to tell me what he wanted it to do, and we built it together. Though it was his idea to test his own design, he did need my help planning it out and may have caused some damage without it. We're smart folks, but beyond scant high school memories of cursory lessons, I'm mostly ignorant of electronics. My guess is, if you're even considering buying this for your children, you and your kids will have a lot of fun learning with this product.Utterly satisfied. And again, we would be at twice the price.

If you think you want this, or that someone might like it, you're probably right.It might be a bit overwhelming for a young kid with no guidance but I feel like it's a perfect "learn by doing" training kit for understanding electronic component assembly and design.If you're not on a tight budget I'd recommend going with the higher numbered kits. You can always upgrade but (at least for me) there's merit to removing friction/barriers to momentum when I'm learning a new subject. OTOH you could always use upgrade purchases as incentives for progress.The documentation seems excellent. I'm still working through the Student manual. I haven't used the (Windows only) computer interface so I can't comment more on that.You'll definitely want to buy the AC adapter (not included, there is a space for it in the case). Although in short order you'll probably be able to build your own ;-).

Awesome kit for kids and teens. My 10 and 12 year old boys spend hours putting together electronic projects and haven't even gotten to the coolest part - hooking the leads to the family computer to use the imbedded Oscilliscope (shows the shape, duration, amplitude of the electricity (harmless battery power only) at various points in the circuits they create. Over 700 projects and easy to understand samples of each with great directions. My boys just call me in to check out their project when finished (I don't even help them usually).I like the case too - I believe it's worth the extra money to get it - keeps everything organized.
