There should be 60 or 70 weekly issues available at newstands with a kids booklet and, most important, plastic figurines!

They look very good!

Just found out that this series has just been released in Germany under the name "Die Schlümpfe. Die Welt der Berufe" (=The Smurfs. The world of jobs" in English) The first issue costs 2,99 €, with the following numbers priced at 7,50€ each. Since this is way too much for me, I try to order the first issue and get hold of the following numbers at one of the "professional" fleamarkets I know of, so that I might get them here for app. 4€ each.

The same collection was tested in France for 5 issues, and almost certainly will be released in its entirety soon; I've heard that the same is for Spain, now also Germany!
In Italy issues are 6.90 each and I have subscribed (with 2 free issues and some presents).

If there is someone that is interested only in the figurines (that are the same... maybe only the markings could be different) and is willing to sell the booklets in German or in Spanish just pm me!

That sounds very, very interesting and I will definitely have a look to see whether the newsagents at the train station in Frankfurt has it in stock

[Smurfysmurf]

How many of these will there be?

Can somebody help me with getting these? The figures look quite cute

[Tojo]

I couldn't find any at the train station so I'll probably have to check out the official website...

[paolo]

I just pm'd you, Maureen!

There is a plan for 60 weekly issues, so the collection is going to end around May 2014!

I just found out that it's available in Poland too:

so as of now we have Italian, French, Spanish, German and Poland editions!

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

I got bad news. The Germany series already ended. Moreover, I was unable to order #1.

[paolo]

Maybe they are running a 4 to 5 issues test in selected cities, as they did in France last month and in Italy last year. Then here the collection was released nationwide some months after the test and now it's in every newstand!

[Tojo]

I got bad news. The Germany series already ended. Moreover, I was unable to order #1.

That would explain why I couldn't find anything about them. Even the official website didn't mention the series...

Wow

[paolo]

After more than a year, I finally got today the 60th and final issue. Now I have to decide whether to keep them sealed or to display them in some kind of diorama...

[Cassiebsg]

Can we get a picture of them? Even if they're sealed.
