NV SERIES 2008/09
Welcome to the fifth MPG series. This came out in Europe in the northern summer if 2008. Among the hand-painted sets that have been issued with NV numbers is the Smurfs (presumably to honour their 50th anniversary). From this section onwards, the pages will be fairly small, as it was around this time that I started to scale back my Kinder Surprise collecting.
