I"m Chris, I used to be "sufismurf" on Pete's "mushroomvillage.com" forum years ago. I've still been silently collecting, especially of late, and discovered this forum...very COOL!
I've been collecting the little blue smurfs since 1976, my first was "gold smurf"..bought him at the counter of a JCPenney's in Davenport, IA (begged my mom, too "Pleaaaaaassssseeeee?" I remember it vividly!
And the Smurf bug bit!
So, I have lots of them (hundreds, actually!), some are close to 31 years old or older...some are just a few years old. Lots of the houses and lots of sets.
(although the Astro Rocket set still aludes me!)
Looking forward to "smurfing it up" here! You'll find I'm passionate about collecting, but pretty mellow.
Looking forward to hanging out!
