Suzanne of the SCCI big on the Kinder Smurfs, and I have nearly everyone thanks to her! I also have a kinder price guide, listing all the Smurf sets with Euro values.
Gotta leave for the day job right now, but I'm loving that case! Price is not market value though, I'm pretty sure - seems high. There are a few kinders that are pretty pricy, but I don' see any of them there. Kinder goes back at least to the 70's I'm pretty sure. Early Kinder Smurfs are one hard piece, but later they came apart like a puzzle. There are also Kinder plush, Kinder playsets, Kinder smurf puzzles and I have a Kinder movie camera that you look into and turn a crank to see a smurf movie! I love my Kinders, but seldom have opportunity to add to the collection. I bought out the US Kinder site a while back, (the Smurfs anyway) but they are mostly gone - try searching the site for "kinder" to see what is left. In the US, it is illegal to put a non-edible into food, so Kinders are banned here because the chocolate egg contains a toy. Like a kid will eat that, stupid! (The same law makes exceptions for popsicle and lollipop sticks). I work for FDA and happen to know that FDA will not go after any imported lot valued at under $1,000 dollars, but Kinder is afraid of trouble, and won't ship to the US regardless, and pressured the US Kinder site to close. I do see them once in a blue moon, usually at small Mom & Pop importers, but never have seen Smurf kinders here... They are a Canadian/European thing mostly...
