I did see that Dick Smith Electronics was selling the Droid developer kit,

Well my question is: Can i buy this set on its own? Or am i going to have to
fork out the additional $200+ to be able to do anything with this?
I'm neither a mindstorm nor star wars fan, so I wouldn't be keen on spending
much, but if i can get a little droid buzzing about my room for cheap i'd
seriously consider it.

Yep. DDK is stand alone, it's quite limited, but you don't need anything else.
Heck, you can even go without a computer (except that the destructions are on
CD).
HOWEVER. To have an R2D2 doing anything more than shaking side to side or
extending/retracting a probe, yes you'll need an RCX.

Hope the info helps.
