Good shop for this collector

So a few days ago I was in a toy shop here in town, one I'd never been before because it's a little out of the way. Then when I was buying a little box of Duplos for my daughter (and for me :dream:) I noticed a keychain they had hanging in the back, not on display but for everyday use. I noticed it because hanging from it, amongst the keys, was a smurf I did not yet have.

So I asked them what they wanted for it, the shop manager was fetched and at first she (jokingly?) suggested a nice Italian dinner for her staff of 9, then I got the price down to that of another keychain. They picked one from their shop, one with kittens and fluffy bits for a whopping €2.95. Oh, and did I mention I found €2 on the floor in the same shop?

It's the second smurf I bought recently after a long 'dry spell' (the other one is one of those easter smurf variants), mostly because what I want is too expensive and this is a nice way to add to my collection.
