Well my postman did bring them but asked "Never do this to me again" he was
only half kidding I think. I then told him what was in them and unpacked one
and he was similarly shocked!
The other funny thing was I had my wife place a second order and had it shipped
to my In-laws to get around the limit of 20. I told her to call and tell them
what to expect but I guess she forgot to mention the 20 separate packages!
Oops. Good thing they are understanding of my hobby (Probably more
understanding than my own parents).
I guess I don't mind that much although I feel bad for eToys because I want
them to make it. But something like this makes you wonder... I am glad I got
40 buckets, 16,000 pieces, for $105. I won't find that kind of deal again
anytime soon.
