Hi Smurfsterocks & welcome to the mushroom village! Your picture was really neat. I especially liked the yellow display that spins and holds smurfs individually. That brought back a lot of memories! I haven't seen one of those in a LONG time! My favorite smurf store in the 80's did not have them in a case- they were loose on acrylic display shelves. I liked that better, because I could pick them up and decide which ones were the cutest! However, my second favorite smurf place had that exact yellow case! I always felt bad for them in there- it looked like a smurfy jail! Your story about the theft of your collection was so sad! Do you think that the person who stole them knew you & knew how much they meant to you? I can't imagine someone being that heartless! I'm always a little taken aback at how rude some people can be about collectors of toys (or anything, really). It's like we're freaks to them, or something. I think people who don't collect anything are the real weirdos. Like they can't connect with anything. But anyway- back to your cool collection! Do you like smurf decorated things (like mugs, posters, etc) better than actual smurfs? It looks like you have a big variety of smurfy stuff! I am sure you'll love this site, everyone is very nice that I have encountered & it's cool to talk to people with similar experiences & collecting habits. Enjoy & talk to you later!
