I'm looking to buy my first arduino kit. However I have a concern.
If my Arduino Mega is bought from one manufacturer, then can I buy shields or other parts from other manufacturers? Are there any incompatibility issues
Thanks!

Of course you can. In just the same way that you can buy a car from one manufacturer and bumper stickers from another.
That's the whole point of the Arduino platform - mix and match to make things -just like LEGO®.

That's a hard question to answer without knowing what you want to do… You might start by taking a look at some of the Arduino starter kits at Adafruit or some of the other vendors. They will give you a good idea of what you could use to get start with some general hacking and experimenting.– dluDec 1, 2015 at 3:11
