A little weird and frankly disturbing.

I'll say that I agree 100%.

But had he wanted to trade or buy from us we still would have had to ship. I don't see why he can't just say he traded or bought them. His choice really. But no one here is breaking the law. And it's important that the kid understands that this in no way obligates him to return the favor in any way! Should anyone PM him suggesting so, he should ignore or tell an authority figure! It is a fine line some of us have chosen to walk and I don't think it should happen again.

He never solicited the toys or had any expectation of getting any. I think it's a nice thing to do but with that said no more. Besides with this example some might try and take advantage, so making it a habit or doing it even one more time would lead to a pretty messed up situation.

I think those of us who have contributed have done it in as safe and considerate a way as the situation demands. I can't say it was right or wrong, but I think our hearts were in the right place.
