Is it worth us trying to do something at the Legofest for this?
I'd imagine shipping from the UK to Turkey will be cheaper than
shipping from the USA to Turkey so it might make sense for those
of us who want to to bring something to LegoFest then someone
send everything to Selcuk from there, rather than any of us trying to
send money or stuff over to the States first.
