Need Locals Help With Getting Cardboard for Gundam Making Event...

By Basaka. 24/04/10, 08:46 pm

Basically, we'll need some cardboard boxes for gundam making for NZAE. I can't bring cardboard down myself (imagine carrying all that on the plane, lol)

So if any of you locals have time, pop by a supermarket/store/whatever place with cardboard and ask for some boxes.

Most importantly, I need those big chip boxes that packages bluebird 18packs/SR 10packs/Eta 10packs as they are large enough to fit a torso in. Or whatever large sized boxes that you can wear over yourself.
Smaller boxes are also needed for props and accessories to go on those gundams.

Also, if you you know a cheap place to get scissors/glue/cellotape/cardboard cutters, or can provide some for use on the day, let me know. Bill hasn't found someone to organize that event, so I am trying to get everything sorted so it can run as smoothly as possible. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED! Anything you buy should be reimbursed later by Bill, but try and keep it cheap.

Ask me if you have any more questions. The event will be held outside, like a mini workshop thing. I've tried making them in year 13, so they are really fun to make, and looks outright silly, yay!

I can get a 30% discount on scissors/tape from whitcoulls, if that helps. Idk where either of the whitcoulls branches in dunedin are though.

I know the Japan shop sells $3.40 duct tape. They also sell scissors and stuff, and we can carry some of those on the plane.

I think the two Dunedin branches are George St and Meridian something or other? I have a GPS now too, actually. :O

I work at New World and can therefore just store some cardboard boxes for you guys, and I don't live far from where you will all be staying.

Thursday is cardboard day. You can just run out and grab some cardboard in town then.

Problem is, I live in Auckland 8D

Hence why I'm asking locals for help.
