...It has breadboards, so I guess it's a sandwich kit.

That outfit is like the love child of TigerDirect and Overstock.com.
Bad deal -- overpriced. The Arduino mega alone is about $18 shipped. The breadboard, resistors, diodes and expansion board are not worth the extra $20. If you want to start, get a board by itself, and then add what you want to add separately. Chances are you will need other parts and not those overpriced that are included.
Looks like a good buy to me. When I check the web for similar kits, I find considerably higher prices. This kit has the basics that you'd need to play with an Arduino at a good price.
Hmm, actually, this store seems to be almost the same as dealextreme.com, except more expensive.
They have the same kind of items, but they cost a few bucks more. They did keep the free shipping though.
Hey, look at this: http://dx.com/p/arduino-compatible-2560-motherboard-v3-expansion-board-breadboards-usb-cable-led-lights-kit-146175
It appears to to be exactly the same kit, just slightly cheaper. Like I said, lighTake is dx.com with higher prices.
God told me to stop playing with my Arduino. He now makes me wear those vegetable peeling gloves from Meritline.
