NEW 2000 FIGURINES

We have just learned that the new playsets include the figurines shown on
the boxes!  We were very excited to learn this and can't wait to see them!
We are expecting all the new stock in early March so save your pennies,
you'll want to add all the Smurfy new PVC toys to your collection!  See

SMURFS ON TV

The television show “Treasures in Your Home”
(http://www.pax.net/treasures/) will be airing a segment soon featuring
Smurf collectibles.  I will be serving as “Smurf Expert” so be sure you
catch it!  Get your local PAX TV station schedule by going to
http://www.pax.net/ and entering your ZIP code in the upper-right hand
corner.  We will announce the date of the airing in the near future.


SMURFING IN THE NEWS

Smurfing was in the news again this past week, but it had nothing to do
with the little blue people we know.  A string of “Denial-of-Service”
attacks (A.K.A. “Smurf” attacks) shut down several Internet giants
including Yahoo!, eBay.com and others.  The program used to set the stage
for the attack is called “Smurf,” hence the name.  Want more techie
details?  Try http://www.8lgm.org/Exploits/IP/smurf/

Smurf you all later!!
