The Prop-1 ($39.95) and Prop-2 ($99.95) from EFX-TEK are basic stamp controllers with support circuitry to allow interfacing to props directly. They would be the best to start with unless you are really good with electronics.

I have not ordered the Basic Stamp IC ($28) either - At that price it is better just to buy the Prop-1 from EFX-TEK.

I have been looking at the PICaxe ($3.95 for the 8 pin chip) recently due to it's price, but have not yet ordered one to play with. It requires a programming cable (So does the Prop-1&2) and of course the ULN chip to allow it to drive stuff.
