I know, some of you collect also the empire gnomes.
I like them very very much and I`m happy that I got some really special ones in my collection.
Usually, there are always the simple green, red and orange ones for sale, but sometimes, you can find a blue one and really rare are the flesh tones.
Two weeks ago, I noticed this mint super rare empire in it`s original package. Never saw one like that!! It was "buy it now" and I immediately did

After that I saw that the seller did not ship outside the US, but luckily, we have Maureen!!! THANKS Maureen for helping me with this!!

Well done Lia!!!

It is a lovely piece for your collection. I don´t collect them but it is always nice to discover something new. It is first time I see an empire gnome in its original package

Thank you guys!

they are hard to find in the original package and this one is really like new!
I don`t know much about them, and I only collect the figures ( but there is a paper village and a playground too)
They match quite well in my smurf cabinet and I simply can`t resist them!))

For those 10 empire collectors amongst us....

Last week, I spotted a rare empire gnome, hidden in a smurf lot.
I kept a picture from a poster with very rare empire gnomes / prototypes and I hoped that the empire with wings from that poster , was in that smurfy lot.

It arrived and I`m really really happy that it`s indeed that rare empire with wings!
