Happy to help!Mod_Man_Extreme wrote: Heh, neat.
Now I'm gonna be telling that to people for a week.
Haha, yep! You're definitely right that there aren't many of use here. I've seen another member from New Zealand here, I think his name is Haoie. Are you from New Zealand, Wurp?Wurp wrote:I didn't know there were (m)any kiwis on Racketboy.![]()
And on topic, I have no idea.
Oh, awesome! I live in Wellington, so you weren't too far away! New Zealand isn't particularly good when it comes to gamesAwesomeMonstar wrote: Dual citizen myself!

Where you from?

Re: How much would it cost to ship a Gamecube to New Zealand?
Well, I never actually lived there, aside from two week stays and what not. There was one game I did buy, MGS for the GBC all those years back. I'm still not really sure why it worked for me either. I actually was born in New Orleans and grew up here, but I got my dual citizenship from my father's family.Ducky wrote:Oh, awesome! I live in Wellington, so you weren't too far away!

Where you from?but it's home! (that's why I import!) I was wondering when you moved, did you keep your PAL games/consoles?
We do get things shipped every now and then, but mostly luxury items like gifts from the family for birthdays, Christmas, etc. I never really handled the shipping myself so I can't say how bad it is, either.
I'd just use it as an excuse to visit again, honestly. I love New Zealand!
Don't that just look oh so tasty?

It is a pretty place, just don't be an Australian there during the Bledisloe cup.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

It's not the shipping that's bad, it's the game prices and the Australasian OFLC rating. It's obtrusive and bloated over awesome case art, unlike the wee ESRB or BBFC labels used elsewhere. I'm envious, so that's why I import!
To be honest, I don't know why people come here, hahaha! Perhaps I'm ignorant, but what do we have that's any good? I've visited Japan, Scotland, France and the UK, all of which have been much more fascinating with their rich history. We just have terrible weather and plenty of green.

Course, over here we call them kiwi fruit so as to, y'know, avoid confusion!

Re: How much would it cost to ship a Gamecube to New Zealand?
I've heard a few people (including family members) who said that it's beautiful and that the people were the nicest in the world. However, I was on another forum and the only Kiwi there was a complete idiot. Hopefully you make up for it. (It's gonna be hard, he was a completely stupid person.)Ducky wrote: To be honest, I don't know why people come here, hahaha! Perhaps I'm ignorant, but what do we have that's any good?
