Blue Cavern

As most of you know, I just returned from a week long visit to Germany. It was a busy week with family affairs, but there was one smurfy day in the middle of it, when TinTin and his Dad came to Stuttgart to spend the day with me to find out how smurfy Stuttgart really is.

We started off at one of the department stores where TinTin found a super smurf box he still needed, and I finally found the first of the decade boxes which was sold out in the US



After completing our purchases, we decided to tackle the long walk to the little comic store I have been finding smurfs at during my last few visits to Stuttgart.

Having completed our photo session outside, we decided to go in. The smurfs on display were a bit pricey, but once I asked for the infamous box in the back, we were in smurfy heaven




Two happy smurfers and their smurfy findings


Once done in the store, we went back to the shopping area in Stuttgart and visited one more store where we found a couple of more paint errors and marking variations.

Thank you TinTin and his Dad for making Monday a very smurfy Day...I had a lot of fun and it was great meeting you again

which leads to the conclusion that Stuttgart is very smurfy!

ohh, what a dream to search in that big box with second hand smurfs!!

I know, that both of you found some really good variations!

Thanks for the pictures!

Hi Joaquin

That needs some work i am afraid

Tintin

I agree, Joaquin. Thankfully, he was the perfect gentleman though and let me have first pick.
Without his good eye, I would never have picked up some very nice and rare variations
