So what your saying is, if I can get my hands on these parts, I can build a Droid? I don't think so. Parts are always cheaper than labor. Labor can include a number of things let alone the time it takes. They get parts cheap because they buy in bulk. It would probably cost 10x more to single handedly purchase these parts. You might not even be able to buy them. Now, can I actually put the damn thing together? Not a chance. Would not be able to put the parts on the board. Assuming they "build" the Droid.
