I can't speak to the touch screen, but buying just the pi without the screen seems like not that great of a deal compared to amazon[1], the only difference I see is the 16GB on massdrop vs 8GB card on amazon.
Am I overlooking something or is this really not that worth it?

Looks like better SD card vs heatsink and faster shipping for 2 dollar price difference. depends what you value i think; but i wouldn't call the it a straight up one better than the other; just different.

I'm seeing a similar (cheaper) kit on ebay with free shipping:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Raspberry-Pi-2-Model-B-1GB-RAM-Quad-Core-Starter-Kit-EU-Power-HDMI-Cable-Case-/171872950197?hash=item28046d17b5
For international customers this is pretty substantial saving (for me about $15 USD).
For the touchscreen, I'm seeing it cost only $15 (again, free shipping):

So that's another $15 saving.
$75 vs $105 is pretty big to me. You could also get the board + case + screen for $57 total (more free shipping) from other sellers, so if you didn't want the other stuff (and lets be honest, there's nothing in the misc section that you can't pick up for a few bucks or that you don't already have) then that's an even better saving:

This drop is definitely not good value for international customers. As always, with massdrop make sure to do your research! This isn't the good ol days when you always get great savings, most prices are basically the same as retail now.
