I read S. Johnson's review listing MMP LLC as a seller that did not provide the product that is listed and was concerned; however, when I went to purchsed this as a gift and "BuyFromScott" was listed as the seller (fulfilled by Amazon), I took a chance and ordered it.
This was a bad choice on my part. The item I recieved was not the UC-70 kit. It did not have the advertised number of parts nor the manuals for the full number of new experiments. It seemed to be the UC-80 kit, which upgrades the SC500 to the SC750 and is a less expensive kit. The item I received even had a UC-80 label sticking out from under the UC-70 label. Additionally, the corrugated box is not the same as the pictured item; one can easily see that the pictured item has a deeper box, which would like be needed to hold all 22 parts that are to be included.
I am returning the item and am thankful that it was fulfilled by Amazon, so that I don't have to pay for return shipping on a mis-advertised product.
I'm very disappointed in the deception of the sellers, using Amazon, to sell this product and to not be able to gift this item as a gift. I'll be going with a different item all together. Next time I'll try a home schooling website or other similar site to hopefully purchsed the actual UC-70 kit.

I ordered one of these kits as a Christmas present for my son. MMP LLC was listed as the seller.

When we opened it my son was quite disappointed to find we had received some other much smaller kit. It contains only 4 parts and a CD. And there are supposed to be booklets with 450 new experiments, but there are only about 250 experiments. The label on the package is correct -- UC-70 Snap Circuits UC-300 to UC-750 Upgrade -- but inside the box is a very different product.

Amazon customer service gave me a refund, but refused to send a replacement. In order to get a replacement I need to place another order at a higher price.

I highly recommend any of the snap circuit sets. Santa brought my son, who is within the autism spectrum, this kit to add on to his 300. He often endeavors to make sense of his world by creating order in his play. His mind is constantly challenged and he spends hours creating and using the different combinations of projects. Because this kit explains and defines each step with pictured directions, typical children as well as those with learning disabilities will be able to feel successful every step of the way.
