Well, for anyone else out there contemplating giving sets to Toys for Tots or
some other program, here's what I learned.
1) Though Larry's idea above is a great and economical one, for safety reasons
Toys for Tots only accepts sealed package toys.
2) Toys for Tots says that the gifts that you donate may well be the only gift
that they receive, I decided to go with a few medium to medium large sets that
I bought deeply on sale (lugnet.shopping turns out to be good for more than
filling up the parts bins and supporting buy to sell to buy).
3) Many local car dealer's were drop off points for Toys for Tots, so dropping
off the sets was fairly easy. Also, my wife's law firm had a toy drive, so I
sent a set to work with her.
Spread the joy of the world's greatest toy this season.
