On Marktplaats.nl a Dutch website to sell and buy things I have found 4 nice buttons with the Smurfs from Albert Heijn on it.
I have got them, here is a picture of the 4 buttons.
It's stand nice by the AH smurfs in my collection.

I really hoped the smurfs would have been PVC... but unfortunately its not

Still cool you can buy dvd's and comics there tho

[eggie smurf]

I found 4 different DVD's , and about 10 different books ...
(can't post a pic , because the camera is at my girlfriends house)

I was looking on ebay for the dutch DVDs too since they were mentioned (but no photos) and I see Christy has a few auctions on ebay. Good luck -

Btw. I just happened to read those awful news on BVN video text. BVN stands for "Best of Netherlands and Flamish television".
That certain channel serves all Dutchmen and -women as well as Flamish people living abroad. It reads that there have been many complains on the smurfs in the Radar forum, since it turned out that these smurfs are very fragile and therefore it is very questionable to pass them over to children. Also this article states out that is series was released with a number of twenty-nine million smurfs.

Here is the article:

Klachten over breekbare smurfen van Albert Heijn 25-02-2008

Giel melde het maandagochtend in zijn programma, Radar heeft er een forum over en de Kassa websiteredactie heeft eigen ervaringen. De smurfen van de actie bij Albert Heijn gaan snel kapot. De vraag is of de smurfen wel veilig zijn in de handjes van kleine kinderen.


De smurfen van Albert Heijn gaan snel stuk. Op het forum van Radar wordt melding gemaakt van kapotte smurfen en ook het programma van Giel van maandag bracht het nieuws dat de smurfen niet erg stevig zijn. Tientallen bezorgde klanten hebben AH gebeld. Ook bij de Voedsel en Warenautoriteit kwamen diverse klachten binnen. Een woordvoerder van AH meldde dat er extra waarschuwingen bij de kassa's komen.

Albert Heijn startte vorige week een actie met de smurfen. Bijna twee smurfen per Nederlander heeft supermarktketen Albert Heijn (AH) klaarliggen. Ze hopen en verwachten dat de actie minstens zo'n groot succes wordt als de wuppie-actie van zomer 2006. Voor de klanten van AH liggen maar liefst 29 miljoen smurfen klaar. Bij besteding van elke 15 euro krijgt men een smurf gratis. Praat ook mee in ons forum.

Christy has one postcard on ebay, I don't know if it's a real postcard or just a promotional card, but she told me there are various different subjects, and I would like to collect one for each different smurf pictured.

They're front page news...

[eggie smurf]

I can't read dutch but from the photo on the front page, that does not look like a very good promotion for the new smurf figures Ouch!!

[Lia]

I think, it`s a lot of panic for nothing. Parents must understand that these smurfs are absolutely not suitable for very young children. But everyone can understand that ,when they see them. Keep the plush versions for the small kids and the rest for the bigger ones like we

I just wanted to thank Lia for the wonderful package that arrived today with the AH plushes, stickers, brochures, boxes...she was kind enough to pick up all these free goodies for Moey, Dyar and I. You are a I will post a photo later on - I can't wait to get home to unpack everything Thank you so much for your generosity and helping out members who are not able to get these wonderful Dutch smurfs

so much Lia...you are a

and thank you sooo much to our other Dutch collectors who are helping us out with the AH smurfs and also catalogs..this forum is full of wonderful generous members

I really hope that there will be a smurfy promotion in the US soon and we can help everybody in Europe and Britain out

[Lia]

I`m really happy that I could help and that everything arrived so incredibly fast in the USA!
I put a lot of free promo stuff in that box, but Staci paid for the plush smurfs ( they are NOT free!!) and for the shipping. So, please Sharon, don`t get upset...Everything went in an honest and fair way, exactly like it should be,ok?

Lia

[smurfieduck]

I know Lia and I am feeling very foolish at the moment.

I totally misunderstood and I am sorry! I hope that I haven't offended you.

[Lia]

I`m a strong person and not offended at all!!! Don`t worry Sharon!!

[eggie smurf]

Sorry for the confusion, ladies! The free stuff was the free brochures, stickers, and other paper items that Lia was able to pick up from AH And Lia did a fine job of getting 3 of everything that was available too! But people are selling the free items from the market on ebay too so

I'm just glad that Lia and a few of our other generous members have gone out of their way to get items for members here and we don't have to rely entirely on ebay to find these cool items. I think that's the great thing about this forum -- we can find smurfs in our countries and offer them to other members that don't have access to such cool smurfs and help each other big time
