I would be more than happy to go to K-mart which is having a buy one at
full price get second at 50%, and then pack up the boxes. I have several
(4 pretty close and another 4 a bit farther) K-marts by me. I have room
on a cc. I've got some boxes in the garage suitable for shipping
overseas. I've got a minivan to haul the load home. I have a few new
Duplo sets I can add to the box too. I can hit a few K-marts on Friday
and if needed the rest on Sat. pack 'em on Sunday and get to UPS on
Monday.
Let me know.
