basically the kids (12 and 8) brought a few special toys etc with them and we purchased other items ie bikes etc once we arrived. We purchased a Wii here for less than it would've cost in NZ but you have to be careful that if you bring your own PS and buy disks here that they are compatible. Likewise if you buy a new PS here that it is compatible with what is sold back in NZ, Virgin sells PAL. We didn't ship anything as we didn't know how long we would be here for and only came with suitcases and paid the excess baggage charges. Looks like we may be heading out sometime this year anyway and I'm so pleased that we didn't go the full hog and ship everything over.
