Oooh you'll love the South Island. Very pretty down there. Last time I was
in Nelson, they didn't have too many toy shops, may have changed now??
I used to live in Invercargill and there were a few stores there that sold
Lego (department/variety type stores). I'm sure you'll find something. I
remember seeing Lego in a Toyworld? store in Queenstown (in the main Mall).
Mind you all this was back in Aug 1993 (last time I was down that way). I
saw a whole bunch of stuff (fairly decent) half price when I went back to
Wellington in Dec 1999.
Have fun! Hope it's not too cold there :)
