I was going through a box at a yard sale on Saturday and found a little blue treasure at the bottom. It was one of the Hardees skateboarders. He is in excellent condition too, I was super excited about it. I was playing with him while driving to other yard sales and my gf was getting made because I was the one driving lol :-D

I don't know that I actually played with them while driving but I probibly open a few boxes of Super Smurfs or playsets while driving.

Glad you found a smurf at a yardsale! I never find the pvc's at yardsales anymore. We had a yardsale this past weekend and I put out some smurf plushes, books, and puzzles just to see how they would sell. Almost everyone picked them up and said "SMURFS! I loved those when I was a kid" Even some of the little kids knew what they were. A few people bought some but most just shared stories of their childhood.

I used to go to a lot of grage sales when I was at an Army base. Mainly because a lot of army people go overseas a lot. And when they move they can only take so much weight with them. You can get a ton of good stuff at them. But I never did find a Smurf at one. They did have a large grage sale at a sale barn and I did find a Farm house and about 6 Smurfs I didn't have there. At that point I didn't know the farm house existed. I think that was the day that I started searching for Smurfs again and found a whole new world of Smurfs and Smurfy friends.

Great news eaglesfan.......I haven't been to a flea market or toy fair for a long time so I really miss the surprise of finding something new or unexpected.

Dyar :cheers:
