This looks great! It's like a modern day Dick Smith Fun way into Electronics (for the Aussies out there)!
Dick Smith Funway was awesome! I suspect I may still have those books (I think it was a three-part series) around somewhere...

You want to pay for something that is FREE in every library? Dont you have hobby electronics magazines in your country? or electronic kits?
It's for a curated set of circuits with increasing difficulty that have a known (and ideally cognitively linked) purpose. People sell this sort of thing all the time even though you can find it for free if you know what to look for - it's the curation you're paying for.
Fantastic - I'll definitely be subscribing. I imagine that having a forum for users to discuss projects would be a good idea, have you considered adding one? I'm having trouble with the order form, however - it doesn't seem to be loading at all, clicking 'Subscribe' does nothing for me. I'd give you more diagnostic info but I'm occupied at the moment - perhaps later. In any event thanks for sharing and best of luck.
The only killer value here is the material and there's little of that on display at the moment. What appears to be there is stuff you can find for nothing on the web with a little googling ( http://allaboutcircuits.com/ http://electronicsclub.info/ for example) The parts are worth little to nothing; less than $30. You can get bagged kits from bitsbox.co.uk with everything you need for $24. I can't see the value propo…

I spend a fair amount of time offering electronics/firmware assistance online on various forums. You'd be amazed at how many people have problems just doing this. Seeing a circuit, collecting the parts from a variety of sources, and putting it together is trivial for those of us who have been doing it since we were teenagers. For those completely new to electronics, there are many little hurdles among the way that ca…

That plus side cutters, pliers and a multimeter.
This is a very cool idea. We have a project along a similar vein at HackerBoxes. Tron looks like great basic circuit education/exposure, while we're doing things more on a project level. These could even be complimentary, so some may want to subscribe to both. Either way, please keep in touch with us over here at HackerBoxes. In order to gauge what users find more or less interesting, we definitely want to hear feedb…

I'm definitely interested in following this, do you have a newsletter or notification I can subscribe to when the Kickstarter completes?

Here's some feedback: International shipping!

If you message your email to us (through the Kickstarter page or otherwise), we would be happy to keep you posted. Thanks!
It’s awesome to see so many teams working on making it easier for people to get into the hardware maker space! To that end…. since everyone is showcasing their projects, I’d like to introduce everyone to http://thimble.io/ Our aim is to make it much easier to learn and expand your skills in a more structured format. We’re working on a learning app and monthly hardware subscription kit. You get all the parts you need…
Along the same lines, albeit I am not at all associated with this group (just a happy customer), there is also http://www.hackerspaceshop.com/electronics.html
I mean, there are a lot of ways one can fulfill the desire to get into more electronics/DIY .. don't forget the Synthesizer guys! (https://www.google.at/search?q=synth-diy&tbm=isch)
