The Drought......Is Over

Well I wasn't expecting a package until just before or just after Chrissy as the last package sent just over a week ago was apparently sent via surface to Australia (a 3 month wait
)....but it turned up today unexpectedly.....did the smurf gods get involved to perform a miracle? Anyway there was about 150 new ones and I am such a happy a guy today that I have even put away the tutus and the blow up Dory Doll as I no longer need those vices as I have smurfs

Don't worry Stace.....I didn't really put away the Dory
....man cannot live on smurfs alone.....I always need the fish that never gets a headache......although I tend to get a headache after blowing it up
....yes yes where was I?......ah thanks Attom....I will post some pics but I might just do the highlights this time as you guys have seen plenty of the regular smurfs even if they are different markings...they all look the same when they're that small in the pics. I have been looking at them all day at work and quite often getting busted by the Boss for for smurfing instead of working.....but as Stace would know....that's nothing new.

Ok...I wasn't going to do pics for all of them but since this was a smaller package (half the size of the last one) I thought I might as well as they are all highlights to me and pics are always good to look at....even if they're crap ones by me
Here we go
The red drummers are both Portugal but one has the thick sticks and the other has the thin...both of these are not listed in the DSK

a couple more
The French Fries smurf is in a sealed bag which has writing on it.....does anyone know why this was sealed like this? It has writing on the edge of the plastic so I will post that a little bit later and maybe someone can translate it for me.
I am really happy about the Indian Smurfette with the darker clothing...this was the last one I needed and I wasn't 100% sure it was the HK one when I bought it but it is.
Syd is also just as happy as he got his first Portugal Rollerskater

...and these ones
Just ignore the first S/ette w/ Ice Cream...I realised I had another one in the box a couple of pics later
Some new markings for me are the Portugal Handy Plumber & Smurf w/ Dustpan. Both of the S/ettes w/Ice Cream are W Germany which I din't have before (they are both different...see the scoops).
The S/ette Golfers & the Wild are me still trying to get one for my rohlinge as I need the extra bits....if these arenot variations then I will finally be able to use the accessories for the raws.
The Tracker only has the markings Schleich S...there is no country so that's a new marking for me as well.

these are for desert
The Disco Smurf looks to have duller colours but I haven't compared any of these to my other ones yet....and Lucie...the markings on the house is Germany CE if you were interested.

......and......well, you know
I have a thing for the keychains....thy're something that I started to collect this year and now I can't resist them whenever I see them
Those rohlinge are all authentic Schleich ones except for the obvious yellow fake....he's a bit dirty as none of these have had a bath yet.....but I will give them all a wash tonight after reading the forum.

last ones.....I think...yep, definately the last ones this time
Unfortunately the wheel on the Tricycle has broken off which is a shame as the markings are China and I haven't seen this one before
Hopefully I will be able to find another spare bit on ebay or somewhere to repair it...if anyone has that spare bit that connects the back wheels then please let me know and maybe we can work something out that helps both parties.
That's all folks

Wow!!! Your house must be over run with the little fellows now. I love the rohlings and the sleep walkers. Am still trying to build up my collection of papas and babies. One day I will get round (or should I say
work out how) to post some piccies too. In the meantime its great to look at your pictures!

That's a very sensible answer Tam....I think you may be right......either that or it was to make sure the hungry little smurfs that shared the journey didn't munch them all.
The writing on the plastic bag says:
KOKEN (the beginning of this word could be missing) Vanuit de diepvries rechtstree (again...the rest could be missing at the end.
Does this make sense to anyone????

"Cook from the freezer directly"
My Pizza Papa came in a sealed plastic bag a well (no writing on it though). I had expected it to be in a flat cardboard box, on the rear of a scooter.

Is this seriously what it says?
It is sealed so it makes no sense unless these were ordered by Gargamel. Ok...maybe this variation is called Frozen Fries
I think the Papa Pizza would of been cool if they came on a little pizza box

Ok....you're right Fram...it's Dutch isn't it?
I might boil it and see what happens

Oooh oooh ooh are some of those MY jubilees?! I hope they are it and not some other jubilees
Of course, I don't remember which jubilees you were sending me as it's been so long - I hope you can recall!!
