At long last...the pictures for the competition are ready to be posted
Just a reminder:
You can post your guesses in this thread, or e-mail or pm them to me by July 15th. You can change your guesses as often as you want, it's your last guess that will count. Everybody can participate
The only rule is..you cannot copy your answer from somebody else, they have to be your own guesses
(As nobody knows who all submitted pictures, this is probably a good idea
) The only hint I will give is the how many of the same nationality have submitted a picture
There are three prizes...the person who guesses the most correct has first choice and so on..If more than one participant have the same amount of correct guesses, I will pm the winners the choices at the same time (time to be announced) and the one who responds first gets his/her choice.
Any questions just let me know...and here are the prizes again as a reminder

again...without you it would not have been possible

Well this is going to be more difficult than I thought!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that pic 2 is from Dyar. Can't think why.
The others are going to take more thought.
Many thanks for organising this Moey!

That are great pictures!
I will have a few more thoughts about my guesses, so I won't post them now...
But, by the way, what should one do, who has to guess his own photo? Give an incorrect guess deliberately?

If you sent me a picture, you could send me a pm or e-mail with your guesses

Do I understand correctly that we must not vote for the pics?
But that we have to guess who the makers are??

That is correct, Magriet

I see
well, it`s a challence to find out in which country the pics were taken..but once we`ve done that, we must know, who went on holiday in what country
this seems a little mission impossible

You don't have to get them all correct to win...just more than others
and since everybody has the same chance, this is a real possibility
to make it easier, I am willing to tell you how many you got right, if you pm me your answers..
I won't tell you which one you got right or wrong, but it should help a little bit

Cool, thanks for organising this.
And nice pictures guys, our little smurf friends certainly have had a nice time away...or home.
Without meaning to give too much away, love the Cheers bottle, wow, when this is over so want to know how to get one.

I'm going off topic here for a question: do you already have the 50th anniversary plush? I'm curious about the PVC figurine inside. Is it just the old mold painted gold?

No, but it is ordered....it is supposed to be shipped out this month but can be next month. I was afraid it was just a hoax until I saw a few other online sellers taking pre-orders for it as well.
The one I ordered from is a whole seller so I am hoping to get it faster than some of the online sellers
I ordered one for myself (and a few for others who asked for help) and as soon as I have it, I will post pictures of the golden smurf, as I am really curious about it myself
If anybody else is interested, let me know as soon as they are available I can order some more or pick them up in the stores, if available

Just bumping this one up...Five more days...you have until July 15th (Central Standard time aka my time at home) to submit your guesses. I think that is 5 or 6 a.m. the next day in Europe
Here are the hints again
The following have submitted pictures (an alphabetical order)
Australia 1
Belgium 1
Germany 3
Great Britian 3
Holland 2
Portugal 1

I changed one of the prizes
The boxed plush smurf with the golden guitar player is apparently not available, so I switched it with the Papa Plush If the winner wants one of the other two plushes that is also ok as I will order them once I hear from the winner
Here is another hint that should hopefully help
Everybody that submitted a picture has posted in the last 4 weeks
So far, we have 2 members with 4 correct guesses, one member with 3 and one with 1
As you can see all is still wide open
