Yes, returning what I can is not a problem...just gives me another excuse to go to the stores and see what's on the shelves :-) I think I will snap together the Duplo that I opened , in order to get more into one box. Too bad there's no birthday party planned for this weekend...."ok, kids, whoever puts together their pile of bricks the quickest gets first prize, second fastest second prize and on down the line". I could do this with my 5 & 9 year old. I think more could fit in a box put together than loose, no? It shouldn't take too long too to snap together +7000 bricks. It won't look as pretty when Selcuk gets it, but he could always take a few minutes to bust them up. As always....thoughts are welcome. Julie

		Re: Toy Aid for children affected from Earthquake in Turkey
Yes, thanks Julie! Now I guess it's time to discuss what to do with the leftover money. Turkey's need is desperate, but in the interim there have been a number of other disasters! Julie has the leftover money but it's not fair to keep asking her to (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

		Update and thanks to all of you (was: Re: Toy Aid for children affected from Earthquake in Turkey)
Things were not so easy and clear on my side, but finally it seems that it will be ended in a good fashion. On Tuesday 28.09.1999, I was informed by the customs that I have three packages waiting on the customs for delivery. Obviously they were the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

Hi fellows, Finally all the legos met with children. Last weekend I've brought the packages to their destination. I don't have enough time to continue right now, but I'll post a more detailed update as soon as possible. I've also taken some photos, (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

Well, we've had a couple of days to mull this over. Some good suggestions have been made, but my vote is to go the Ziplock bag route for non returnable items... return the rest and send the remaining money directly to Selçuk. But to a certain (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
