Interesting thread.
I suspect people are going to change their tune significantly once the current stock of "goodies" in NZ runs out.
I buy from a couple of local vendors (55Six, Gunworks, BlackWatch, WorkshopInnovation, Taihape Sports) as long as their prices are realistic.
What I refuse to do is buy from local guys who think it is ok to rape customers purely for being loyal to local suppliers.
In the end I probably by about half my toys from overseas, definitely the larger ticket items.
