I heard about that display last night so I drove to the TRU today. They didn't have it set up there. All they had were some of the old boxed sets that TRU put out, and some houses and supers. Kind of disapointed it wasn't there.

I saw these displays about a couple weeks ago. They're on an end cap. I feel stupid, because they could have been there for weeks and I wouldn't have known. I only saw it by accident.

It's a pretty display, with the decade Smurfs set up on the cardboard grass.

I bought the 60s, 70s, and 80s sets. The clumsy little Smurf who fell over and spilled his basket of apples has an unpainted tail and a stripe of un-pain on his back. I didn't notice it until I got home, but it was the only 80s set they had anyway.

I went back this weekend and all the new box sets were gone. They had a bunch of last year's box sets. I've been waiting for these for a while, and I'm glad to snatch them up.

I have figured out that the people at TRU have no idea what they are putting on the shelves. What I mean by that, is if the first 3 boxes in they got are all the same they put five of them on the shelves. Not even realizing that the next 4 rows are all diffrent. I don't know how Schleich packages their stuff, but when the older exclusive TRU boxes came out, there were only two diffrent sets on the shelf. I pointed this out to my neice (which worked there), and shifted some things around on the shelves. Next day the others were there. Can't tell you which thing worked.

They fixed the one at my store and we got the 70s and 80s sets. Just in time for some to wind up in the girls' Easter baskets. My wife wanted the one tripping with the apples for herself... I think that is the first time my wife wanted a smurf to be honest.
