Hey guys I'm a pen spinner from New Zealand and I want to buy pens that I can mod but it seems that New Zealand doesn't sell any pens that can really be modded without a pen from another country.
For now I'm using a unsharpened pencil and would like to move onto a pen. I don't have a credit card and I'm pretty sure my mum wouldn't allow me to buy pens from Penwish due to it being expensive(NZ to US dollar will make it cost a lot more.)
So my question is to you guys in New Zealand, what pens do you use and where did you buy them? Thanks. -

I've already seen that thread and is why I had said that New Zealand sells pens that can't really be modded without getting another pen from some other country.
Stupid New Zealand. D: -

You can get Profiles at Kmart, and I've seen them at Whitcoulls. You can get Hybrid Gel Grips at Whitcoulls and some other places. Then you can make an Any-X with Profile clickers replacing the G2 clickers. You would need 4 Profiles + 1 HGG in total. The Any-X is a bit hard to make if you've never sawed anything before.
An easier (and cheaper) mod would be the BICtory, using BIC Round Stics that can be found at Kmart. -

I went to some Asian store too when I was on a trip from school. Didn't get much time to check out the pens.
Sucks because I go to town like once a year... Nice find though! I'm gonna check the stores out next time I go!
By the way, what do you mean by mid city? I went to the Asian store next to that Imax place, the had loads of pens just didn't get to check them out. Didn't have much time. -
