MushroomVillage.com is the world's largest Smurf collectors community, and we invite you to join us :) We began in 1999 and quickly gained a reputation as the Internet resource for Smurf collectors. In Spring 2001, The Smurf Collectors Club Intl. (the world's largest and longest-running Smurf collector club) announced that it was bringing 15 years of friendship and fun to a close. Suzanne Lipschitz, Founder of the SCCI, had decided to return full time to her 'real' family and asked MushroomVillage.com to take over the job of providing Smurfs and "Smurfabilia" to her 'Smurf' family.

In many ways, we are like a club, but "joining" MushroomVillage.com is FREE!

Headquartering on the Internet has additional benefits. Interacting with other members of the MushroomVillage.com community is easy and fun. Our FREE MushroomVillage.com Forums are the place to meet and greet your fellow Internet Smurf collectors and fans. Just sit back, relax and read the posts or jump on in and join the fun for yourself. Don't have your own server space, or know how to use it? Don't worry, you can upload pics to our server for FREE! You'll find experts and novices alike from all over the world, and all are eager to share and learn together.

We also offer FREE e-mail accounts (YourName@eSmurfs.com), providing members with a mailbox that can be used from any computer with Internet access, even if they do not have a computer of their own.

We publish a FREE newsletter called the Smurfy News. It is delivered right to your e-mail in-box and is delivered to thousands of avid readers around the globe. The newsletter is full of, well, Smurfy news! It's also where we announce site updates and new features, specials and give-a-ways, new inventory in the Smurf Shop and share information, stories and articles reported to us from around the globe. To subscribe, just scroll down to our subscription form in the footer of any page on this site and enter your e-mail address in the subscription box.

Most clubs provide a means for it's members to add to their collection. Ours is the Smurf Shop. Our extensive online catalog illustrates many hundreds of Smurf figurines, supers, playsets, houses and related items like books, keychains, magnets and pins. Shopping is as easy as clicking a button, and we accept many forms of payment including cash, checks, money orders, PayPal, and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover/Novus, and American Express). Every order ships with a FREE Smurfs mini-catalog, and Smurf stickers and orders over $50 include an additional Smurfy surprise gift - FREE! We also encourage you to post your own ads on the FREE "Buy/Sell/Trade" board at the Smurfs Bulletin Boards. Lots of great deals have gone down there.

We also feature a FREE full-color, interactive, electronic ID & Price Guide. At least one color or mold variation is shown for every Smurf figurine in the PVC line. Feel free to print it out! The guide is fully searchable by entering keywords in our search form. You can identify an unknown Smurf very quicky, simply by entering the name of something the figure is holding or doing, such as "skiing" or "hammer."

Any experienced Smurf collector knows that Smurfs are a world-wide phenomenon, and so being able to translate languages with our FREE Translation tools is a big help! Use our instant translator to go from English and back in several languages, even translate entire web sites! Print our German-to-English Dictionary of the most commonly used words in ID guides and tuck it in your copy for quick reference. You'll also find an English translation of Katalog 2000 preface - of one of the most popular German guides.

You will find we have much more to offer as you explore our site - FREE collector checklists, The Archive, our growing store of Smurf materials and articles, and tons of FREE information - more is added every month! Please contact Us with any questions or comments. And enjoy Smurf collecting, it is a wonderful hobby!
