@Lia: I love your cabinets.

I would pay a ticket to be able to see your so well displayed collection, Lia!!!!
And of course, I´m in love with this orange smurfs.Fabulous items you have in these cabinets

thanks Dom!

I know Carlos, you have cupboards full of unique smurfs too!

Now I only have to sort out the rohlinge and polish smurfs and then it`s ready

Lia

Lia,

Graham said the shelves are lovely but WHERE ARE ALL THE PLUSH ?????????????????????????

Martin

..eh...eh..eh...I`m a little embarrassed, but I fear, the plush are an undeveloped area in my collection
Can you ask mr.Everton to show a pic of his plush please?

Lia

Hello Lia !

Take no notice of Mr Red Angry ! I love plush !

I too was drawn to your CNT pink basket ! Now where is your indian with red corn ?

How do you know about my red corn??
It`s in my " rariteitenkabinet" my raritycupboard, ( from which I show no pics)
But after a long search, I found a sort of plush, a glow in the dark!

I never refered to anything

what a collection Lia. I'm just collection since 6 years and compared to your collection it is just a start.
Congrats

Lia,

If I ever get to Holland I would love to see your smurfcollection. If you let me inside off course. I could do like in some stores abroad, "leave the bag in the reception". If necessary I could go inside the smurfroom in my underwear, just to make sure I won´t bring any smurfs with me.
But then your husband better be there from the beginning. I am not sure he is gonna believe me if he catch me in my underwear when I am saying: - I am just here to look at the smurfs.

Merry Christmas to you, your family and your smurfs Lia.

Thanks Tine, that`s very sweet from you to say, but you certainly have an incredible collection yourself!
But I`m happy that I started collecting 'early' because some smurfs never seem to pop up any more these days.

André:....ahh, all men use the same excuse...just smurfs..mmhh...no, no, no, I`m kidding....I try to imagine this scene and it goes beyond my wildest phantasies.
It`s tempty to invite you...but let`s keep things uncomplicated and you are very welcome any time! You can remain fully dressed and look at the smurfs as long as you like!

@ Graham: I`ll forward all the smurfy pics, you like,ok?

Lia

Thanks Lia,

I hope I will get the opportunity to see your collection sometime. And then after that, maybe, I would be prepared to start collecting the fakes also.

Martin just showed me a new superbox I hadn´t seen before so I still have a few off these to find before starting with the fakes anyway.

And January is a great month to buy smurfs ( people don´t have that much money left after Christmas I guess). Bad month to sell smurfs.

So lets hope we can find some nice and cheap smurfs and boxes we have been looking for. That would be a great start of the new year.

Thanks Lia !

Andre, i have alot of updates of Martin's pics to do in the new year, and yes, that super smurf box is awesome, i saw it last sunday, it is in mint condition ! You will love it

Graham and Martin,

If you think about it. We see a lot of the Hongkong versions of the Smurfette in car on ebay. But where are the boxes???? It is not many times I have seen a HK-box for this super.

It must have been sold in other boxes also. Maybe also in the german box??? Maybe not.

Graham,

will you add any boxpictures from Martins collection on your website?

Hi Andre

The smurfette in a car ??
What about the applause boxes ??
I thought most of the smurfs are HK in those boxes !?!?

greetings Tintin

Hello Andre,

Yes, all his pics will go onto my site, i'll let you know when

Merry Christmas Tintin,

As you know there are 6 Applauseboxes for the supers. As faar as I know.

But we have found out that some of these supers also can be found in the other supersmurfbox from Hongkong. The one with the writing supersmurf on the front.

And my guess is that the Smurfette in car can be found in this box also.

So there are maybe 2 Hongkong-boxes for this super. And maybe a third french superschtroumpf-box ( also Hongkong printed).

I just came across this thread and must say that you have an impressive collection, Lia.

Your information on the orange Dupuis Smurfs is really interesting. I own the orange drummer and if you take a very close look at the "markings", you can see that there have been Dupuis Union markings once.

Thanks Simon, yes, mine seem to have "erased" markings too ( crazy, like the Hering brazil, who have also erased markings)
