The Warehouse is a national chain with about 70 stores. They sell just about
everything and have some good prices. LEGO however is similarly priced to what
it is in other toy stores.
Toyworld is a national chain as are Deka (old Woolworths) and K-Mart. Around
Auckland, there are some Toy Magic stores that have broken away from Toyworld.
There's the odd small shop around that typically sells stationary and some toys
plus there is the odd bike shop selling some toys but usually not LEGO.

Last year I was the coordinator for the LEGO Truck Show when it was here for 13
weeks. (There was another truck in Australia around the same time). I met up
with lots of LEGO collectors as we toured around including Sanjay in Wellington
and Allan Smith in Napier. I also managed to hunt out most of the older LEGO
sets from stores as we passed by. My haul included a Super Car (8880) and the MT
set 5591 "Mach 11 Red Bird Rig".

I'm not sure. The one shown in the Asian catalogue at www.lego.com is the blue
bus with white windows (3405).
