Just one 'Open Office Day' left to visit us before Christmas on Saturday 19 December!
There will be no 'Open Office Day' between Christmas and the new year, although it is possible to visit us, but this is by appointment only.
More kit sets from Italeri and Zvezda arrived last week and a lot more is expected!
A new brand for the Mini-Kiwiland Shop is Sun Star. Sun Star produces 1:18 scale model cars mainly. First stock is expected in January. This includes rally New Zealand models!
A new direction that I would like to try is the slot car market. See 'Scalextric Slot Cars' below.
Specials this week are G scale kits and 1:24 diecast cars.

NOTE: I can not guarantee that every single item from the lists above are moved from storage to the office. If you want to visit and buy specific items, it's best to order online and select 'pick up in Paraparaumu'.
Location:
The Mini-Kiwiland office is located on an industrial area in Paraparaumu, close to the expressway.
2/46 Te Roto Drive
The office is on the first floor of a commercial building, above 'Action Safety'. There's a shared entrance in the middle. The entrance door will be open. Visitors are free to go upstairs. Our office is on the left. There's no need to ring or knock on doors.
There's no signage outside, but I will place an advertising board from a previously owned cafe (Kiro's Corner) in front of the entrance. Do not expect coffee & cake however ;-)
Opening hours:
The opening hours are as follows:
Saturday - 10am to 4pm
It is possible to visit on other days as well, but that's by appointment only.
Payment methods:
Payments can be done by cash, although there is limited change. Eftpos is available. No credit card.
New for the Mini-Kiwiland Shop are the slot cars. It is possible for us to buy slot cars and accessories from brands like Scalextric, Slot.It, Thunderslot and Policar. I will start by buying the new releases from Scalextric first and see how it goes. Below are 2 discontinued models that are currently listed on TradeMe, while the other 4 are brand new December releases. Those should arrive in early January.
In the new year the Mini-Kiwiland Shop will focus more on 1:12 scale models. Below are 6 examples:
