Speaking of exclusive, the smurfs grab ems were supposed to be exclusive to Toys R US acording to them but if that be the case why did I find them in Target.......lo.l I can't wait to get the new smurfs as well as the older ones too.

I think the only thing that was exclusive was the escape from gargamel packaging and the clear smurfette and papa that was in that assortment. K-mart has the grab ems now as well

Olympic Smurfs!!! That sounds terrific!!! I can't wait to see them.

Nothing on Kmarts website have to check in the store.

Last year the first pictures of the new smurfs was shown on the forum around the 1st of November!!

Hi

Yes that's always around that time the first pictures are on the forum.
Most of the times the smurfs are in the shops around march.
Only 2 times i got them in januari.........................
So even when you see the first pictures you still have to wait until next year to buy them.

Just heard that the new 2012 smurfs will be have old shape again

Hi Christy

I was afraid that this was going to happen...............

Tintin

so why give them new numbers

Oh well, at least they will still be new variations with new paint and markings.

Hi

I think i will like them with new colours, but still, every year i am nervous to see some new models.
This isn't just the same, so a bit disapointed

Tintin

Hi

Just got some info to.....................
They are not old models painted in new colours, but all are complete new models !!!!!!!!!!
Now that's great news, can't wait until i see some pictures

Tintin

Maybe Christy wanted to say that the new smurfs don't have the new style of the 2011 smurfs? I really hope we will see pictures of them soon - for example this weekend.

Good point, Simon

Didn't even think of that

Maybe Christy wanted to say that the new smurfs don't have the new style of the 2011 smurfs

That's what i think to, nothing bad about Christy

About the pictures, well i wouldn't mind having them last weekend

Hi Gerda
