My little wheels in my head are spinning... I'm betting by contacting Home Depot and Lowes you could find local people that could make the toy parts for you... and I bet they or a local lumber company would be willing to donate the scrap wood. That would get around having to get the parts from Happy Factory sent to you.

I just picture all those incredibly helpful men that work at Home Depot and Lowes who probably wouldn't mind cutting out a few pieces of wood for some boys.
