As you may have noticed the cavitynumbers on the molds are different types.

This is because they have used different molds from different times.

Like on the normal it seems Schleich used their W Germany mold from 1977. :-D

That is correct Joaquin! :-D

I was not so intrested in cavitynumbers before, but now I see that it is a very good way to see if the molds have been changed. Actually Schleich used the cavitynumbers to be able to spot if something was wrong in production and then they could trace where in which mold the problem was. I try to work the same way but I don´t look for problems in production, rather history of the molds! :-D

I have been on Tenneriffe for over one week now, with sometimes 34 degrees Celsius. And I can only say this Joaquin: - I miss Spain( or actually Tenneriffe)!! :( :cool: :lol: :D

I love the sun! :D

Hi Andre

I bought one extra set .............. but i can't get them out.
Already to many are taking them out. Can't blame a kid i would do the same.
So think it's going to be a sport to find them all loose.

One starnge thing Frank,

I have 2 boxes and opened both and all the cavitynumbers are the same on all smurfs???? :o :-?

I am intrested in the Heringmold also. I have only seen the hering-spy with cavity 3. I would love to see if the new spy can have cavity 3 and then if they look the same. Or do anyone have the Hering spy with cavity 1?? :D

Great Frank!! :-D

I fully understand that you don´t want to open the boxes. :D

Let´s hope someone else can tell us if there is a new spy with cavitynumber different from the number 1 I have??

Andre,
mine has cavity number 2 :D

Only opened one box though as I don't dare open the second one ( I can't get the smurfs to stay in the boxes once I've taken them out)

Maureen,

they are awesome displayed outside the box also!! :o :-D :lol: Just remember saving the box.

I am not sure these will be sold outside the box???

Regarding the cavitynumber it is good to know that there are more. But when checking my Hering-spys the placing of the cavity is on a place where they must have blocked it. Because it is on the heal. That is a shame, because it would have been great if the cavitynumber still was on the same place as the Hering. :lol:
