If you buy from LEGO Shop at Home, the shipping is included, so it doesn't
matter how much you get. From what I hear, the IR remote device isn't all that
useful, so I doubt that I would bother with it. The rotation sensors are cool,
and only about $17 each at S@H. I would look close to home for an 8735 kit,
getting this via S@H is >$40, at a store it is $35 to $37, less on sale. Me, I
get other Technic kits for more parts... Also, I have heard that you can use
the fiberoptic thingee as a rotation sensor that is just as accurate as the
angle sensor thingee for doing rotation counts - it just can't tell you + or -
direction like the angle sensor can.
have fun,
