Blue Cavern

Hi, everyone!!!!!I want to share today a great experience with a Christmas present I had...The best christmas present that I ever have received was a big pitufhogar house...It was 1983 year!!!!!I sent the pic to the forum time ago, but I deleted them when we had troubles of space...Here you are again...I was a child and I didn´t keep the box...This house is one my favourite pieces in my collection, but I couldn´t remember how the box was..

A week ago I was looking for smurfs and suddenly saw a very interesting auction: my big house in its original box...I can´t describe what a happy and thrilled guy I was!!!!I think I ever cried...All my childhood came to my mind in some seconds: I saw the box, and suddenly I remembered my twin brother and me opening the box, and trying to build the house... I decided to buy this auction, and today I have won!!!!!!!I have no words to explain you how I feel!!!!!

The story has a 2nd part even more exciting: I told the story to my best spanish friends, and they decided to buy it for me as a Christmas present...But I was thinking yesterday , and told them that it was better for me to buy it directly from my ebay account...I know the smurfy ebay world and I knew the price would grow last few seconds, so to be sure I´d win the house, I decided to bid myself and avoid this way my own friends overbidded me...I want to give them a BIG THANKS for the attempt and for being so kind and nice with me...

I hope the parcel will arrive before 3 Kings Day...I will put my present in the exact same place where I saw 1st time 25 years ago, and I will wait to all my nieces and nephews when come home to see what 3 kings bring for them, so they can see the present of their favourite uncle!!!!!!!

I have now two houses: I will keep one opened and the other closed!!!!!!

THANKS for reading my story!!!!!!!!

PS: I couldn´t see who the other bidders were...Anyone here???Please send me a pm...I would like to know who is looking for this wonderful house, so I can be alert and help him to get one from Spain!!!!!!

What a wonderful story!
Congrats on getting such a great house and having such great friends

Congrats, Joaquin!! Excellent story

A lovely story Joaquin.

Firstly it is nice to to hear you have finally got the house omplete with box. I remember you mentioning it before so to know you have it is great but also the memories that it is bringing you from you childhood makes it all the more special.

Hi Joaquin

I am so glad you went after this house and won it

and it is nice of your friends to want to get it for you...what a great story

and a very smurfy Christmas to you

That's a beautiful story Joaquin I remember the pictures of your original house from before, so to now have one also in its original box is awesome You have some very sweet friends

That is a great story and a really happy ending ! Your friends are very nice Joaquin to offer to get it for you, but i do agree with you, an auction so important is better to be won by yourself, then you have piece of mind ! It is also nice you have some great childhood memories you can look back on !

The auction you won looks fantastic !

Congratulations Joaquin !!

Lovely story , and a lovely house

That is a beautiful house Joaquin! I'm glad it brings back such happy memories for you

That is AWESOME you won!!! I wondered who won it, I didn't recognize the ebay username, I freaked when it went over my bid, and then got that high! I am glad a true smurfer won it tho!! Congrats!!!

Joaquin, I am really pleased for you! The house is wonderful!!

Hi Joaquin, congratulations on winning your auction. It's a lovely story and even more special as it brings back such lovely childhood memories for you. Enjoy your house and your christmas. Im sure your nephews and neices will be thrilled to see this and thrilled to see how happy you are with it too. Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to you ! Lucie & Simon

Congratulations and what a lovely christmas story. Thanks you for sharing it with us

Hi Joaquín!
I am really happy to read that your christmas story came to a great end!

It is a great house and with that story it must be a really special item!
I'll keep my fingers crossed, it arrives in time!!!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.....

That is such a fantastic story & I'm so glad that you have now won the house with it's box. It looks great

Congratulations Joaquin

What a lovely story I'm glad it has brought back such happy memories for you

Thanks for all your nice words!!!!The parcel has arrived today, but it is supposed that Three Kings are who bring the presents on 6th of january....So I have kept it in a safe place to avoid my nephews and nieces watch the box, and can lose their illusion for such a great day!!!!!!

You are a very good uncle Joaquin, the temptation to have your pressie early must be huge.

It will soon be Three Kings Day Joaquin, then you can see what your present is

hi!

I Just love that house! and the box! Santa was so good to you!

I must say, Its such a rare item, I've only ever seen these!

thanks for showing us the photos, and the wonderful story to them.
