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...

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!!

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

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.
