Expensive |

This kit is very expensive for it's (tiny) contents. Almost every other site, including arduino.cc sells better kits at this price:

Getting Started With Arduino |

The kit needs to have all the components necessary to perform all the experiments from the book. The website encourages the "Getting Started With Arduino" book to be bought along with the kit but the kit only has the componenes to light an LED & use a pushbutton. When I got to the section about powering a motor and a fan I have to go online to order more parts (MOSFET & diodes)....since these parts are only a few $$$ more just do us all a favor and include them in the kit!

Resistor labelling a bit unclear |

The kit is a lot of fun! Good instructions.
Minor quibble: For the 270 ohm resistors in this kit, the ring colored purple/violet is indistinguishable from the brown ring. (I used a multimeter). For a novice, the color code isn't explained very well (a diagram with the example in the appendix of Getting Started with Arduino would be useful.
It would be nice to have a note in the book to explain the purpose of the use of resistors in these circuits.

Soldering the DC Plug |

According to Wikipedia the outside of the barrel is usually negative but not always. Is this the correct configuration for the Arduino Kit and does it really matter?
Never mind: http://arduino.cc/playground/Learning/9VBatteryAdapter

Not as good as the last one |

The arduino kit 2.0 had many more components. You would kind of expect an upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0, not a loss of parts
