Hi All; I got some new plastic cases last night and was putting some supersmurfs in them this morning. I had not noticed before that I had two two diffrent styles of it. Actually I was aware that the nets were diffrent, but hadn't noticed that the base was diffrent and I had two diffrent colors of the backboard and post. I saw that the bases were diffrent on MV but the backboards were the same color. Shows you how observant I am. I've had these for years.

Thanks for the pics Bill I had noticed before that this super had a few variants. I also think the cycling smurf has a similar base in being 'reversed' ? I haven't checked any others though.

Hi FlamingO; I got 4 cases last night two for supers and two for regulars. The regular Smurf cases I buy come in two styles with or without a mirror that you can either stick to the bottom or the back I knew that there was a piece of paper you have to peel off the back to stick it with, but just noticed that there is also a thin piece of mylar on the top that protects the mirror. Now I have to go back and peel that mylar off all the other cases I have put it on. Its not just that there are 10 of them that I have to do this to, but I have 1 or 2 cases on top of everyone of them. As you are probibly aware some of the Smurfs have a hard time standing up without touching them. I have to take each case very carefully set it somewhere then open the one I need to get to remove up to 16 Smurfs and peel off the mylar then put it all back together.

Hi FlamingO; I took a pic of the bottoms with the mylar and without it. You can really tell the diffrence in the middle as you can see a reflection of the candy topper really good on the one on the left. I haven't done them all yet I have 3 to go, but I did the other seven in about 15 min. Wasn't as bad as I though it would be. I only knocked 1 Smurf over hiker did it twice though. My basketball team is playing in a min the Smurfs will have to wait. They are in the elite 8 playing for the final 4.

They are in the elite 8 playing for the final 4.

I hope Mizzou wins for you, Bill (I hate UConn)...I am a Nova grad and hoping we can get past Pitt tonight

Hi Bill, I see what you mean about the mylar hope not too many more smurfs go tumbling when you take the rest off

Did your team got the right result? We don't get much basketball (male netball !! ) on TV over here but it's a game I like

Bill's team lost but my team got into the Final Four :cheer: The first time since 1985 (which is when my college won it's first NCAA championship )

Hi flamingO; No we lost last night we did the best we have ever done though. And better than any of us at work figured we would do. We have had our best year in history so I am OK with it. Where are you from I guess overseas somewhere. I did the last 4 cases this morning Smurfette's casses were a pain to do. She is very easy to knock over. I did figure out that if I put the case together first it is easier to keep steady. I had to take the Smurfette case's apart about 5 times each plus I dropped one Smurfette and while trying to catch her I knock two more case of smurfs over. Congrats Staci your team did win hope they go all the way.
