My personal blueprint for snagging the LEGO Retro Arcade from US stores and shipping it to New Zealand

Why the LEGO Retro Arcade is currently my favorite 2026 release

I’ve been a fan of the Icons line for years, but the LEGO Icons 'Retro Arcade' (Set #10355) hits differently. Released in May 2026, it captures that specific 80s neon aesthetic with a level of detail I haven't seen before. Between the working joystick mechanism and the light-up coin slot, it's a masterpiece. The real reason I went looking for a way to buy from US ship to New Zealand is because of the retail exclusives. While our local shops get the base set, US retailers like Target are bundling it with a 'Classic Arcade' gift-with-purchase set that is simply too cool to pass up.

How I secure US-exclusive retail bundles from New Zealand

I realized early on that my local credit card often gets flagged at US checkouts. To get around this, I looked into a BuyForMe service. This proxy shopping option means someone in the US handles the purchase for me, which is a lifesaver when Target or Walmart won't accept my Kiwi card. I simply sent them the link to the LEGO Retro Arcade bundle, and they took care of the rest. I also made sure to use a tax-free us address provided by my chosen freight forwarder. This saved me about 7-10% on US sales tax right off the bat.

Shipping Estimates and Box Specs

Before I committed, I had to make sure the international shipping rates weren't going to double the price of the set. I used a shipping calculator to get a rough idea. Here is what I found for the LEGO #10355 box:

Managing New Zealand GST and customs

One thing I always keep an eye on is the GST/VAT situation. For us in New Zealand, anything imported over $1,000 NZD usually involves more paperwork and higher fees. Since the Retro Arcade set is well below that threshold, the process is much simpler. However, you should still expect to pay the 15% GST on the value of the goods and the shipping. Some services collect this at the time you pay for your international shipping, which saves a lot of headaches when the parcel reaches Auckland.

My step-by-step guide to the delivery process

I followed a very specific plan to get my set home safely. First, I signed up for a comGateway account to get my US suite address. Here is how it works for my typical LEGO hauls: I ship the items from the retailer to my US address, wait for the notification that they've arrived, and then check the photos of the box for any dents.

Once I’m happy, I select my preferred New Zealand delivery speed. I usually go with the express option because I have zero patience for waiting when there are 2,500 bricks to be built. If you are worried about the shipping fees, I suggest waiting for a holiday promotion or using a discount code that often pops up in the member dashboard. My package usually arrives at my door in Wellington within 5 to 8 business days of leaving the US warehouse.
