I like the idea and what the store has to offer so far but there are only 16 products. Come back when you have hundreds. Most of the sensors are I2C which is awesome for Arduino. Your boards are all simply the same size, they do not physically connect like legos or have any system of interconnect other than using solder and pins which makes it no better than breadboarding. Calling them electronic legos is going way too far. Look into using pogo headers or magnetic snap together modules. The intention of
So how do they handle address conflicts? I've been a dev on a highly I2C'ed system, and while there are also electrical issues to having lots of devices, the big one is how you set an address. Most chips only have two or three address select pins, if that many. Even if you use a microprocessor as the slave device, there still needs to be a way to configure it. About the only truly reliable way for a hobby-brick system is gating SCL for each device.
