   bump!  If you're going to the Auckland expo tomorrow afternoon I will be meeting and greeting, see you there!    Sorry whitewave as far as I can tell there isn't anything in Dunedin. 
 Ladybird84, yes some of the online retailers are having specials for RNW, I don't think there's a definitive list anywhere but for example I know Mother's Instinct do, details on the front page of her website.
