AFAIK no versions of the Kabaya sets have ever been available in the UK, and
I have yet to see a non keychain red/white hooded ninja, so yup, they would
probably be welcomed here.

Again no problem. The idea is essentially to distribute small sets/polybags
to those who would not normally have access to them.

Agreed. The weight of bulkier items would only cause unneccessary postage
unless welcomed by a 'soon to be' recipient.

Yup, I see the Shell Mini's still sell for ~$10 each, but they are worth
less than $2 to me. Your recent McD's polybags cost you ~$2, and are worth
$5+ to me.

If this doesnt work out, I might have to arrange a trade for some of those!
