The outside of the carton box intrigued me:
Spring Gardening 23/08/2023.
Miniature Garden Figurine Collection
The Smurfs
Store in Cool, Dry Place
If the outside box was intriguing then the pink sticker attached amused me:
NEW LINE EXPRESS
Woolworths
URGENT PLEASE
Place on show within 12 hours of receipt – Thank you
Then taking a closer look at the tag attached to the Smurf miniature figure was both intriguing and amusing for me:
Warning! Choking hazard – small parts. Adult Supervision required at all times. This is not a toy. For decoration use only.
Typically my weekly grocery shopping is never this fun. Today was a happy day collecting all nine of the Smurf figures, across three different Woolworths supermarket stores in my local area. I soon discovered there were two sets I needed to collect. I also quickly identified these have been officially certified – Peyo 2023 Licensed through I.M.P.S (Brussels) www.smurf.com
Set 1 included six miniature Smurf figures, each selling for AUD $8.00. Similar to the ones sold last year by Woolworths. But this year’s range included a Gargamel and Azrael.
Though in Set 2 each Smurf carries vegetables and wears a Woolworths apron. These are selling for AUD $12.00 each and only include three miniature Smurf figures.
Like any devoted Smurf collector, I have abided by the conditions stated:
Store in Cool, Dry Place

Keep on Smurfin
