My 220 OHM resistors have not been given for some reason and I cannot perform any LED sequences... I finally bought some for Amazon... But are other people facing the same problem?
Sorry, we can't understand your question. Are you asking if others have no resistors? I imagine almost everyone on this forum has many resistors of many different values. Why do you expect to be given resistors? Given by whom?

Is this some sort of development kit that you have bought that came without the resistors ? Were there any resistors at all in the kit and if so, what value are they ?

Definetly not.
Plenty of 220ohm resistors here.
From where did you get your kit?
If it wasn't from the official Arduino store - well, everyone and their mom sells their own take on an Arduino kit, with clone boards (almost invariably based on the CH340G serial adapter, instead of the 16u2 like official boards - though aside from needing different drivers, it's frankly a better bet for newbies, as it's harder to damage) and varying assortments of parts - a lot of those suppliers are pretty halfassed, so missing parts wouldn't surprise me.
If it was from official store, that's more surprising (though they did ship out that batch of uno's a few months back that didn't have f/w loaded on the 16u2)
Either way, you can complain, but you're probably wasting your time with the nameless ebay and third-party amazon sellers... and in any event, it likely isn't worth the effort even with the official store (the point if it was official would be more about getting them to make sure it wasn't a more widespread issue)
While you wait for your Amazon resistors to arrive, you can use other values of resistor in place of the 220ohm ones. Anything from 220 up to 4.7k will work (at 4.7k, some LEDs will be pretty dim, but you'll still be able to see them). I usually use 1k resistors with LEDs, personally.
