The NZ Post have their Two Towers stamps up for viewing and order. Only drawback: I found the pictures a little small for online viewing purposes. [More]

“Hi TORn,
“I haven’t seen any word on your site about the prices for the extended DVD in New Zealand so I thought I’d send along the information I have found out, despite it being the 12th in about 2 hours from now!
“Currently the cheapest price is $64.95 from Foodtown, Woolworths, and Countdown supermarkets. This is a $15 saving from both Whitcoulls and The Warehouse, which are both offering the DVD at $79.99.
“So far I’ve found that only Whitcoulls is selling the gift set with the bookends, at a price of $199.99.
“The Whitcoulls site says it’s being released on the 14th, and there is nothing noticable in store about the release, however The Warehouse is advertising a November 12 release, as is the advertising for the supermarkets.
“The VHS version at the supermarkets and Whitcoulls is $39.99.
“Hope this can help some of the New Zealand fans out there.”
