I found the set for $45 at my local Toys Etc. outlet two months ago and
decided to pick it up. It has a great collection of spare parts (especially
beams and gears) which is useful if you're into building custom models. As
for the featured models, the "Level 1" droids look kind of nice but don't
have many functions. The "Level 3" droids appear to have much more
functionality but instructions aren't included for them and it's really hard
to build them from the tips given on the CD. The "Micro Scout" computer has
a built-in light sensor in the front and a built-in gear reduction motor in
the back. It is not a bad unit, but it isn't very useful in custom models
since it can't be programmed and there are too few built-in programs IMHO (7).
