Custom Quantity for Kitting

Is it possible to allow the customer to set quantity for kitting?

Right now we are showing check box list for kit items.
The kit items are all setup with a quantity of 1.

If I wanted to give the customer the option of adding multiples of the same kit, how could I accomplish this?

Example right now we have
[X] My Kit Item ($10.00)

I want to have
[ 10 ] My Kit Item ($10.00 EA)

Thank you

What if you use a dropdown listing same kitted items with different predefined quantities? It wouldn't allow customer to provide a custom quantity but it can give a set of choices based on quantities.

This might work. I'm not sure there is a hard limit on the number of kits.
I will review with my customer to see what they want to do.

Ideally we'd just add a quantity box next to the kitting description.
Then either show a quantity on the order confirmation or loop and add the same kit multiple times.

Is there any way to do this without having to setup separate kit items for each quantity?

Customer wants to choose quantity of 0-10 for dozens of kit items. That would be a long of work to add 9 * (Number Of Kit Items).
Also, it would require editing that many any time they wanted to make a change.

Unless there is some way to do it in bulk.

I ended up using a modified version of mazhar suggestion. I created a custom page that would automatically generate drop down list items for each quantity between 0 and user specified maximum
