Sounds like you are up to some good there David.....actually it sounds highly impressive and I cannot wait to see it as I know I am one who could learn a lot from what you know about sockels.

Good luck with it and I can't wait to see it

I have decided to make a web sites for sockels (and a few other things which are not covered on other sites). The aim will be to expose "bad practice" about these and show how easily it is to get caught...

The web site is "under way" but not ready yet... I'll let you know of course!

That is EXCELLENT news David.

This is an area that has been lacking in information on the internet and will be a great resouce for all of us. Sorry to hear you have had a few recent problems with sockels. I really have very little knowledge on these so I for one will be very interested to learn more about them from you.

I'm really looking forward to what you put together David as I really don't know much about them.

I wonder, were they released directly by Schleich. I mean, there just seem to be so many of them with different texts & different smurfs. Did they ever appear in the Schleich catalogues? Were they sent out blank so that retailers could somehow print the messages on them As you can see I'm totally clueless

Hi Baboune,

Yeap Sockels are great... although I had said once upon the time that I would never collect sockels.. I now have just a few short of 300.

However, I got really annoyed recently because more and more fakes are around... And often you cannot tell from a picture on eBay and you only find out when you receive them...

I have been caught out 3 times recently and got rather disheartened by the whole thing...

Oh David, that is wonderful news....I was hoping secretly you would do one and I know I will use it a lot for a reference guide about sockels...I agree with you, it is very disheartening to see all the fakes out there and they are hard to tell from a picture..

I am really looking forward to your new site..
