We're on the last day of 2008, so looking back what has been your favourite or best smurfy buy/s in 2008?

Mine would have to be my Trudi plush smurfs. I started to collect these at the very beginning of this year. The smaller sized set of 15. And I end the year with 14, all of them but 1 I'm missing to complete the set. Missing Handy Smurf. I managed to buy them all on ebay whenever they popped up, some absolute bargain prices and others a little higher than I would have liked. These plush are really nice and are very smurfy!

Oh, also I completed my set of plastoys this year and they look amazing all displayed!

I think my best smurfy buys are probably the carneval medals I picked up on ebay but I also really like the Unicef white smurf, the stamps from Belgium & also the silver coins so it's very hard to decide....

Hi Brad, thanks for starting this thread

It's hard for me to decide as I got so many really nice and also rare smurfs that I never thought I would own one day.

Overall, the ones that I am most proud of are these



Finding them in boxes at the Stuttgarter Fleamarket or in the second hand store for 1.50 euro was just absolutly breathtakingly smurfy for me

[bradley]

wow Maureen, bargains on some rare promo smurfs. well done!

oh, I really like my unicef white smurf as well Tojo!

[bwalters]

Hi All; I think Tha Vader Abraham plate, and The BP Promo with congradulations and champion were my best. I also got two Moon playsets this year.

I also got two Moon playsets this year.

2 moon sets I don't even have 1, lol

[bwalters]

Yea 1 I paid $355 for boxed not put together. The other I paid $100 for and that included a windmill, Smurfettes's bedroom set, sailboat set, and a mushroom playset. The Second Moon playset was missing the window for the door but other than that was just like the one I paid $355 for. The windmill was missing the two window's but I had them.

It's really hard to say what my favourites have been as my collection has exploded beyond recognition this year! In fact I can't say. It's impossible!

Good topic. Hong Kong money box of King Smurf, just love that little guy ... and he's helping to save for the surprise cone smurfs -

My Smurfy buy for this year was the Plastoy Smurfs.
I had three of them for a long time and finally decided to get the rest of
them. In addition, I didn't know a Plastoy Smurf King Coin Bank existed
so I decided to get that as well.

that was the same with me. I had 1 plastoy for a number of years until this year when the opportunity to buy them all from Andrew at Toy Dreamers was too tempting so I completed the whole set! Also I brought one of those King Money Boxes. He is great! That then got me interested in buying King Smurfs, both a small and large How2Work King.

Gerda I think you win 'most awesome smurf additions 2008'!

[Pitufo]

Mine has been the prototype I bought from Rachel: a lovely smurf from someone who has helped me many times in this crazy smurfy world

I just did my best buy yesterday. And so I have to wait for this until next year It will be better as the Wiwa Fit

Hey Bradley,
That is awesome you completed the Plastoy Smurfs as well this year and
they do look great when they are displayed all together. I was hoping
they made other Smurf characters besides the 13 they made already.
Theres nothing more than seeing a whole bunch of Smurfs of one
collection.

yeah I wish they'd made a few more plastoys, or substituted a couple of the more boring ones (shy, earache etc) for characters like handy and cook. They are a very nice set I never really intended to complete but I'm so happy that I did.

Nice smurfs everyone. Brad, where's the thread about the new years resolutions I wanted to reply. I have bought some very nice smurfs last year, my favourites were possibly graduate, show off and hippy smurf but all the others came a close second. Looking forward to buying loads more serious smurfs in 2009.

That blue white soccer is a super piece Joaquin!
Imagine, having a smurf from which only 2 exist!

2008 was a great year for my smurfcollection!
I found many rare smurfs with special markings, molds and colorvariations. If I have time, I`ll make new pics

And to get it from a reliable source makes this the perfect deal

New pictures would be great, Lia....you always find the most unusual smurfs
