Schleich Smurfs Limited Edition Decades Pack Review & Giveaway... CLOSED

I grew up with the Smurfs!!  I saved all of my collection of figures and houses for my kids and now they play with them!!  They are timeless and are so well made, that they last forever!  There new sets are no exception.  And my guilty pleasure, Smurfs' Village iPad App!!!  I am 33 years old and have to plant my crops every day:) lol

Here is a little more information from Schleich:

As Schleich is known for their realistic, modeled on nature animal and historical figurines, Smurfs were certainly the surprise of the show as so many didn’t realize that Schleich has been making the nostalgic blue figures for nearly 50 years! In fact, every year they come out with a new Smurf line and this year is no different. With a nod to the past, just hitting store shelves this month are Smurf Decade packs, featuring popular Schleich Smurfs from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Each of the 2011 Smurf sets has a theme and contains 5 popular Smurfs that Schleich made in that decade, as well as having a diorama background in the box which allows it to be used for play.

Schleich was founded 75 years ago by Friedrich Schleich in Schwäbisch Gmünd. It’s one of the largest toy manufacturers in Germany and is a leading provider of original play concepts internationally. The famous toy figurines from Schleich are sold in over 50 countries and have found their way into children's rooms all around the world. Each Schleich figurine is hand-painted and meets and exceeds all European, Canadian and USA toy testing standards.

And in honor of the new Smurf 3D movie coming out in theaters on July 29th, Schleich has created a new figure pack with all the stars from the new Smurfs movie!  This new pack will be out later this month.  An interesting fact I learned from Schleich is that the movie Smurf characters are slightly different.  They have blue eyes instead of black, and they have bigger ears, noses and feet.

We had the opportunity to check out the new decade pack this week.  We received the 1980-1989 Decade Pack.   My kids were super excited!!  And so was I:)  My son right away got to playing with them.  He made a village for them with towers out of his blocks and replayed scenarios he has seen on the Smurfs Show he watches on the HUB Network.  I am so glad they brought this classic back!!

As one of the original Smurf licensees for nearly 50 years, Schleich also has individual Smurf figurines and accessories for sale that can be seen on its website, something I thought your readers may like to know! Smurf figurines are available for purchase at Target, Toys R us, online retailers and specialty stores.
