Depends on what sets you buy. You can buy sets that build one specific
model (though you can of course do whatever you want) or you can buy the
tubs of 1000 pieces for $20. I have been known to buy specific models to
get some odd part that I thought was cool, but generally I'll take the
general purpose models.
Obcc: Yes, you can build computers and calculators from Lego. Any reason
why you couldn't replicate a Digi-Comp with Lego?
