LittleBits: Easy way to get started with electronics

Folks complaining about price - I think about Legos. Given what they are, they are really expensive. And yet, growing up, I wanted every present I got to be Legos.

Even if Littlebits has a smaller market because of price, if it's a passionate market they'll grow and so better be able to offer a range of different sized products with variable pricing. As a hardware startup, that's a far better route than to expect scale that may take a while to arrive.

Yep, i loved having LEGO but now that i am all grown up, i realize what a privilege it was to own that many LEGOs!! Hell they're expensive! (though part of me still wants to spend a huge chunk of my salary on them) :P
