i tried to break down the prices per ordering them separately.
(and of course i rounded off all numbers because my math is atrocious)

Robolab starter set--

9v gear motors approx. 25.00   x3   75.00
micromotor                          16.00
lamps                  35.00        35.00
touch sensors          15.00   x4   60.00 (comes w/ 2 leads each)
light sensors          40.00   x3  120.00
leads (wires)          20.00   x2   40.00 (3 leads each)

total                              346.00

so the other 1380+ pcs are like 100 dollars.

hmmm, that cant be right.
not sure if lamps are the whole lamps and fittings, and i have an issue with
3 lamps costing 35 dollars--what's with that?

anyway, if this is the case, getting the robolab starter kit for my b-day ;)
