Hello everyone!
I'm new to the place, so I thought I'd introduce myself! My name is Brandon but all my friends call me Ponyboy (is PonySmurf okay?)
I remember watching the SMURFS when I was a kid (growing up in the 1980s). I had a stuffed Gargamel doll during the mid 80s I believe. The Smurf that sticks out most in my mind is the leprechaun (St. Patricks Day Smurf?) and the Smurf in the Easter Bunny outfit holding an egg. Those 2 were my favorites!
I currently have 3 Smurfs... but am looking at starting my collection anew after a friend of mine here in town showed me her collection.

Welcome to BC.. Brad here, we had a chat in some posts on Mushroom Village the other day. Nice to have you here.
Are there any places to buy smurfs in New Zealand? are there markets and toy/collectable shops to find smurfs in.

Hey Brad,
No I've not seen any stores or collectible type places with Smurfs in them. There is a graphic novel/comic shop here in Wellington but they deal with primarily superhero toys/action figures.
My friend Morag got her Smurfs at a yard sale, and a few off "TradeMe" which is kind of like NZ's version of CraigsList.

Welcome Brandon to the forums. Thanks to Moey for seting it up for you.
P.S. You do realize that the three comics I offered you were Smurf Comics.

My first guess was from the movie "The Outsiders" (but if it's rude, you can just whisper it so Hilary doesn't see
)
Brandon...hope you enjoy it here

Hi Brandon,
It's good to have another member from NZ.
I started out with only 3 smurfs too & now Mrs Tojo says I have too many
That hasn't stopped me collecting more though....
Good luck with adding to your collection
