[HollandSmurf]

I have just order the white smurf on Unicef.
I hope he is here soon!

[Rachel]

It reminds me of a great big easter egg hunt, only with wonderfull little smurfs!!

I was thinking just that too Gerda.

Excellent news Ingrid.

My dad has emailed unicef in the UK - will let you know what they say

[Rachel]

Good thinking Emismurf, I shall look forward to hearing what they say.

[SmurfingH]

Me too!

[Elvissmurf]

Ummm!!!.....me three?

I draw the line at paying over the odds for things that either:given away free or as cheap as chips to buy brand new.

[HollandSmurf]

I have got a mail from Unicef, the smurfs are in backorder..

[Gerda]

I wonder if they underestimated there popularity.. sounds like it if they are on back order

This was the email reply from UNICEF UK:

Thanks Emi. Does that mean they're not coming here at all then?

[emismurf]

My dad is going to ring the head office in Brussels...

[Gerda]

Kind of a stupid response as I don't see the money being any different if it comes from people in Belgium or other parts in the world. You would think they try to make as much as possible therefore be willing to send it anywhere as long as he buyer is willing to pay not very good business sense if you ask me

Maybe it's because of shipping.
Here in Italy many companies pay discounted postage rates (more than 50% off regular prices) but only for domestic deliveries and that's why they don't ship abroad.

At least you have received an answer from unicef!!!I haven´t!!!!!!

And I agree with Gerda: I think it is a stupid and easy answer...The seller is going to pay the shipment...SO it is the same for them: ten euros for their charity jobs!!!!

[Lia]

I fully agree!
I have no idea if the Dutch Unicefshop ships abroad, but at least, they can be ordered by us. I was very lucky in finding a white smurf myself past friday in Den Haag.

I know I am a pretty sad case. when I went to town with my mother on Saturday I told her all about the Unicef smurf campaign and bored her nearly to death...anyway, she told me today that she will be traveling to Stuttgart, Germany in two weeks and stay there for two weeks...and the first response out of my mouth was" Well, if you see a white smurf laying around...can you pick it up for your only daughter?"

To prove how sad she is..she replied "Yes, I already thought of that."

I know the chances are pretty slim that the campaign will be in Stuttgart at all, and if so it won't be in two weeks...but hey...I can dream with the best of you

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

Awwwww if only I had been to Scheveningen. Thanks for sharing your pics, Ron!!! From now I assume that the exhibition will go to any places associated with smurfs namely. However I don't know which German town might be associated with smurfs and why? Any help?

[Azrael]

They must come to England.

Why bother translating the websites in English if not?! Plus, London metro run that article point to 'yes'!

I still think they will... but maybe not London?

[emismurf]

Well...after a few call to Brussells, my dad almost had a breakthrough and then the person at the other end said that they didn't think they could post it afterall However, they told him to ring in a couple of days when the boss is back in the office
