Hiya,
I just wanted to introduce you to another smurfer. His name is... Manni. Over the years, he has become aware how to find variants.
At BP he showed me a prisoner and it was...prisoner with molded smile. And not only has he bought one item, but four different items. (I dare say that I gave him a Gold Smurf as a pressie.)
He bought himself a metallic gardener, a huge gold smurf plastic, a metal sign reading "I love smurfs" and the "La Schtrompfette" comic book.
