well done Steve, some nice smurfs there.

Cheers Tojo...it's always satisfying buying smurfs in person

Nice smurfs Steve, well worth the trip.

I have never made it to the NEC (apart from Crufts ) so I don't really know how many smurfs are there. Haven't you been before as well? Do you think they are growing in popularity or maybe even getting less?

[steveparkes]

I think they are getting a bit more collectable Rachel..I've been to the DJ fairs for quite a while..and although there is always one lady that has smurfs..I've noticed smurfy items at other stalls too..hopefully when the movies come out..we won't be able to move for the stuff Just noticed that my Emperor smurf is a Hong Kong one.
