Can anyone point me in the direction of one of these?

Mr. Bill from over at Mushroom Village (thanks Bill!) turned me on to getting one. I figure they are few and far between, but I think it would be a great start to my new Smurfing collection. ;)

Yeah I figured that would be a b*tch. But, I have family in America... so I could always send it to one of them and pick it up on my next visit. I guess I'd have to convince someone to let me on the plane with it... :lol:

My wife says it's because I have a "kind face"... whatever that means.

Hey Brandon; It might be cheaper to just move back to the US. :) :) I will keep my eyes open. But Ebay has had several in the past. There are two styles one for normal Smurfs and one for Supers.

I have 2 of the ones for normal smurfs and 1 of the super smurf ones Brandon, the shipping within the USA when I got mine was 25.00 for just one of them - I can't imagine what it would be from the US to NZ!! :shock:

Bill... I can't come back now, I've only been back 6 months and my permanent residency has been approved! :)

Congratulations, Brandon...I am not sure how hard it is to get that in New Zealand, but I was very happy when mine was finally approved in the US :cheers:

Hope you find one Ponysmurf!
I remember when I first got one myself. I was very thrilled about it.
I was contacted by an eBay member about one of these and I was
willing to pay anything for one. When she told me it was brand new,
I just simply wanted it. When I sent her my address so she can
calculate the shipping and send it to me, she simply replied that I was
not that far away from her and I could come and pick it up if I wanted to.
We made arragements and the next day I picked it up. It was one of my
best days in Smurf collecting.

That's what I'm looking for; A brand new one... I know it'll be hard to find, but they obviously do exist! So thanks for the encouragement. ;)

it's not been hard for me to get into New Zealand, no... but there are plenty of hurdles and stumbling blocks along the way! The paperwork took well over a year to finalize. :???:
