Last time I talked to Selcuk, Lego prices in Turkey were pretty steep, so it
might be cheaper to buy here and ship it, especially if we can get a discount.

Another thing that should be checked into (sorry I don't have the time for it) -
I wonder if USPS or FedEx would donate the shipping costs?

What I'm wondering is:  Sets are prolly the cheapest in the US.  If a
retailer would be willing to discount a bunch of sets to send, might it be
cheaper to buy them here and ship them to Selcuk, thereby relieving him the
burden of shopping, etc.  I will talk to a local toy store and see what they
think.
