Mcdonalds Australia 2011 Hefty Smurf

The mcdonalds version follows closely to the current 3d movie design, not as cute as their Schleish counterparts though.
They are all toys and hefty smurf here can lift the weights, if you press a button behind his head.


Kinder surprise Smurfs 2011

With the new movie out this year, these little ones are made by Peyo, the toy company that has been responsible for smurfs for more than 20 years. Expect great quality. Spent quite an amount to complete my set, baby smurf was especially difficult for me.

Retro 1980's Snoopy mugs and vase

Although the weather didn't allow for outdoor bargain hunts but I did manage to get to an undercover one. Here, I found some rather cute Snoopy stuff that had the vintage and original Charles Shulz's prints on them with witty slogans.









Heavy rain and wind conditions and even hail today

Had to skip bargain hunting today because of unpredictable heavy rain, wind and here I've got a picture of hail stones, the size of rock salts.

Disney Cars 2 Lightning Mcqueen Pit Stop Launcher

Lightning Mcqueen accessories go well with Lightning Mcqueen variants, don't you think?


Blue Nose Friends first generation

Here's a bunch of Blue Nose Friends that were and probably still are a craze. Some of these, especially the early ones were sold out so quickly everywhere, people were willing to pay 3 times their value for one. There's some single digits here in this picture like the cat and the duckling.


Shikamaru and Sasuke from Naruto

Anime is also weakness of mine if any of my favourite characters are available.


Disney Cars 2 with Finn Mcmissile

For a limited time there was a Toys R Us exclusive for a metallic shiny Lightning Mcqueen. And he was on sale! Finn Mcmissile is pretty slick too with one of his many transformations.


Disney Cars 1 and 2

This is one of the permanent collections - the Lightning Mcqueen variants. In Cars 1, Lightning Mcqueen came in separate blister packs but not for Cars 2. At the moment, in order to get Lightning Mcqueen variants, one would need to buy him with other sets like the Mac Truck or with other Cars' characters. There's a Ferrari on the left in this picture.


Cookie Monster, 2007 by Sesame Workshop

I love finding real bargains especially if they are toys that are no longer made. I'm a little bit of a blue addict and especially like Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. This medium-small version is by Sesame Workshop 2007.  Along the way, you can find little treasures of your own. Even though, this is mainly about toys, I do sometimes come across other collectables of interest. Feel free to share here too.
