We welcome you, "Madox-From-Outer-Space" and will convey your greetings to our leader! (Or we would, if John Keyes wasn't utterly hopeless).
Yes, you guessed it, I'm from New Zealand. Which puts us on the same hemisphere, if not necessarily on the same Shapeways thread. The $NZ is likewise not terribly exciting at this time, but fortunately there was only the one model I really wanted, and I managed to get it through before the terrible Recession of Doom.
So although you might not from me again in future, I thought it'd be nice to respond to your post and let you know that We Are Not Alone! Yes, there are other strange creatures from outer space prowling through the air vents of the Shapeways forum, and some of them are from New Zealand.
