Hi, I have three things I want to share with you...

1. You all know the Argentina Minimodel smurf with the golden coin. But have you ever seen a silver coin?
I have seen one at mercado libre, the argentinian ebay. I think, the coin is silvery/grey, isn't it?
I am not going to do anything with mercado libre, but I wanted to have shown that to you.

2. I have found this smurf (see photo) and could try to buy it. It's the 2.0068 soccer smurf with a green shirt and white trousers, but he is very very rubbed. Do you think, he's still worth a bit? Is this a real colour variation?

3. I have just bought this lot of empty super smurf boxes...I couldn't resist and was happy to expear that the shipping costs to Germany for this lot are quite low.

So I will have the jokey with gargamel in box in applause box in a few days/weeks and no figure to fill the box... Am I right, that the only right smurf who is part of that box is the one with the "Made in Honk Kong" marking?

Hi, Simon!!!!!!

I have seen the silvered coin before...It ia a nice one: I love Argentina Minimodels so much!!!!!!!!!But he is not in my collection...Hope to get it soon...It is hard to buy smurfs on Mercado Libre because teh seller rarey send to Europe...

And about green/white soccer: buy it if the price is not high...If you don´t buy, please let me know: It is in my wanted list...I think it is a real variation, but all of these I saw have rubbed the nose!!!!!!

Hi Simon, great to hear you have been busy smurfing.

So I will have the jokey with gargamel in box in applause box in a few days/weeks and no figure to fill the box... Am I right, that the only right smurf who is part of that box is the one with the "Made in Honk Kong" marking?

I am not 100% sure as I don't have this super but yes, I would say it is more like the Hong Kong smurf with this box.

I agree with Joaquin, get the soccer smurf if he is cheap. I have one in this condition too. I like to think some small child REALLY loved this smurf long ago and carried him around everywhere.

I am not 100% sure as I don't have this super but yes, I would say it is more like the Hong Kong smurf with this box.

Since it's the Applause box, shouldn't the super for this box also have the Applause markings too? I don't have the box so I really don't know

the smurf is a little bit different to the other trickboxes... so much darker red ribbon and also the molding form of the box is different (e.g. other box bottom, the ribbon is raised, the head is attached in a different way...)

So I think it is not so easy to get

but congrats to the box...

I am just having a little school break (first two lessons Latin, than four free lessons and in about an hour I have to take the bus again for two sport lessons ). So I was able to take a look at the letter box in school time and found the green/white kicker in it!
The boxes arrived about a week ago.

Here is a picture of the new kicker who came with my first Dupuis Union smurfs (the same seller, cheap shipment), two not new other kickers (one normal, one ???) and the "Gargamel in box"-box.

Some very nice smurfs there Simon. I am still after a box for my Jokey super and I also would love to get the Applause variation too. I would love to receive a package like that someday.

Enjoy the school break too

Hallo Dan

Nice to see you post again and I didn't know about the Gargamel's heads being different like this. Thanks for letting us know.

@Dan

I really have to take a look to my Gargamels head and your were right..
The head is really made out of metal with some thick painting around the head....
How did you noticed this...it was not obvious for me ?

[Rachel]

Hi Dan, hope you are enjoying the rugby.

Thanks for the info about the USA variation. I have never seen one up that close so it is very good to know this. Thanks.

Are you going to Brussels for the fair next month?

[Smurfysmurf]

I didn't know that either, Dan....thanks for the great information
