That is awesome. Thanks for posting that Eggie Smurf.
Didn't they have like a Vanity Smurf at one time too?

[Tojo]

I think it's perhaps because of the beard

[schtroumpfette]

Oh, so cute, I love him.
Thanks for the pic Staci.

[bradley]

Nice find Staci! hehe, that Papa smurf one looks awesome actually! I'm waiting for the normal smurf to be released here so hopefully we'll get both. I wouldn't have expected any more of these to be released.

I thought I saw a picture of vanity too
Still think these are ugly but of course Imust have a full set now, no sense getting just one

[eggie smurf]

I remember seeing a Vanity one briefly on TRU website but they removed it almost immediately. It was the first one that Gerda posted but TRU changed the photo from Vanity to the Normal Smurf since it was probably a mistake or posted too early. I haven't seen that one since though.

I can help, Cathy if you aren't in a hurry as I won't get back to Chattanooga for a few weeks and we haven't had the new houses yet.

Are you interested in the three "old" houses and the cars besides the new stuff?

Hi Maureen!

Thank you! Yes please! I already have the smurfette house from the first batch - but was running out of space to buy the rest. It was coming to the point where I'd be buying smurfs and leaving Andy behind.........

I managed to get quite a lot in Hawaii - I was watching the checkout girl's face and just knew she was thinking "so you come all the way to Hawaii just to buy smurfs....... "

[Tojo]

That's funny Cathy

I think I might have seen a Vanity vinyl on the Target web site when I was looking at the Papa vinyl.

I don't know how many of you have opened the Beach Themed set, but I noticed the words THE SMURFS on the back wall of the box. That is actually a beach towel in a plastic bag. Here is a pic.

[Gerda]

Bill, is it a piece of cardboard or actuall fabric, I saw it but thought it looked cardboardy

[bwalters]

Hi Gerda; It's a piece of fabric. Thats why I was so supprised.
P.S. It's kind of thick fabric kind of like they put two piece's together. The edges are rough.

[bwalters]

Actually they did put two piece's of fabric together. The side that say's THE SMURFS is like a felt and the other side is diffrent. Kind of rough feeling. It took me about half an hour to open the box and take everything out without damageing the box and packing. Thats why I noticed it. The towel is in a plastic bag, and I kept thinking why put that in a bag, they could have just printed it on the box. So I felt of it through the plastic and found it to be soft.

[Gerda]

Thanks bill! That is good to know!!

ps.. the trick is always getting everything back into the box sometimes I think there are magicians working at these factorys because you can never get anything to fit back in the way it was

[bwalters]

Hey Smurfsterocks; I just discovered another mistake. On the Picnic box it says frisbee. It is in the beach pack.

Yeah, I think they messed up badly with the description on these
as if they were being rushed to put them out on production.

[bwalters]

I know you have taken a few of these out of the boxes. How would you like to be in a hurry and try to put this stuff together.

[Smurfysmurf]

Thanks for showing us, Bill.

I haven't taken any out of the boxes..and don't think I will in this case because I know I'd never be able to put them back in there and just love how they look in the boxes

I may change my mind if I see them on sale in the stores and get some more

that is because they knew us smurf collectors could not wait any longer so they rushed them along just for us

[eggie smurf]

You may be right, Gerda

I have found everything BUT the two-pack smurfs in the mushroom blister packs....no one seems to want to carry them in our stores here Other than smurfster, has anyone else found these in stores? (Tojo and Karyne, once I can find these your packages will be complete too )
