I bought this kit from a store, not Amazon and mine is in pink (I didn't even see a red one offered in the store). It's a decent little kit. The scissors that I got were excellent: At the cheap price of the kit, I was expecting to be disappointed by the scissors, but these cut very very well. The needles and pins seem to be nice (though I received several pins that were completely dull on the ends, therefore they were useless. Neither of the pencils in the kit would mark, which I didn't mind too much (having others) but if that's a selling point for you, I would reconsider.
Like others have said, the container that this comes in isn't very portable. I haven't had any trouble resealing it to store the items in but it's only a temporary solution for me: I will definitely be finding a different way to store these things. In no way would I advertise this as being in a "reusable storage box."
As for the thread, I can't comment. I purchased this kit mainly for the pins, needles, pin cushion, thimble, and scissors. I have been using different thread (not from the kit) for all of my projects and have been very pleased with the results. I would guess that the thread in this kit would be good enough to at least repair a button or mend something small. It may be better but from past sewing kit experience, I never hold high hopes for the included thread.
Overall, this is a decent little kit. It's best for beginners or for someone who just needs a few sewing basics for occasional use like mending or small hand-sewing projects.
