Hi michael, great to another dane in this thread :D

I hope you will show us some of your danish star wars stuff :wink:

I have updated again today with some more boxes and a few moc from BR :D
 
thanks Stephen for the kind words :D

The 2nd post have been updated again. This time with another box sold in Metro and 4 other boxes that was sold in BR :D
 
This is a wonderful thread. I am trying to get a comprehensive list of all vaguely "Norwegian" vintage SW items, and as far as I can see the Danish and Norwegian markets were quite similar in terms of released products (read-along books, comics etc). The Norwegian market was small(er) back then, being a nation with only four million people, so there weren't enormous quantities of SW stuff being sold and very little old stuff (MIB/MOC) pop up today. Personally I only know of the three MOCs already mentioned in this thread, that's about it. No major toy retailers established themselves in Norway until the nineties (BR, Toys R'usetc) so tracking down local, independent toy retailers perhaps many years out of business is quite a challenge. But I will not be deterred so watch this space ;)
Godt jobbet, mine danske brødre!

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the very kind words. I can't wait to see the list :D I also think there is not many Danish moc left. I have 3 and I only know about a few more out there :(
So BR was not in Norway in the 80s ? :shock: That was something I did not know :oops:

Have you seen the Norwegian thread ?

I will soon add some more stuff to the thread :D
 
I have picked up a danish childhood collection, there was 19 boxes in the collection so I will add the stuff with danish stickers in the thread.

Post 2 is now updated with the Tri-logo Sy Snootles And The Rebo Band with the famous star wars ckokpris sticker from the Toy Store BR :wink:
 
Palitoy Tauntaun With Open Belly Rescue Feature sold in the Toy Store BR also added in the 2nd post from the new lot that I bought :D
 
Thanks to søren I have added another danish toystore called A.B. Legetøj.

And another thanks to søren, I can also show some open tri-logo Romba cards from that store. Søren bought them as a kid in the 80s in that store 8)
 
Post 2 on page 1 has been updated again. This time with a lot of Kenner and bilogo speeder bikes from the Toystore BR :D
 
That BR Xmas brochure is incredible! I'm constantly looking for norwegian brochures like that but no luck so far.
We also had the comics but the run was 32 issues in total. Will put some pics up on the Norwegian thread.

Post 2 on page 1 has been updated again. This time with a speeder bike from Sct. joergen bookstore.

This is the first bookstore I have ever heard about selling star wars in the old days 8)
 
Updated again with more cardbacks from some different stores.

I have also added 2 new stores Bilka and Kvickly :D
 
updated again this time I have added L T Legetøj or on english L T Toys with a cardback they sold in the 80s :D
 


Metro is a Cash & Carry Warehouse and they are in many European countries. In the 80s they sold Star Wars in Denmark.
They imported both Kenner and Palitoy toy to the warehouses in Denmark. I have tried to contact them for more information about star wars in the 80s, but they could not help and they had no old advertising with star wars from the 80s. They could only confirm the price stickers was from Metro. In December 2014 Metro decided to close in Denmark :(



The earliest cardback I have found from Metro is this ESB 45 Palitoy cardback.



This cardbacks is ROTJ Palitoy cardbacks.



This cardbacks is ROTJ Kenner cardbacks.



Tri-logo was also sold in Metro :D



The European Bilogo Imperial Tie Fighter sold in Metro.



The Palitoy Darth Vader Tie Fighter sold in Metro.



The Kenner ESB Vehicle Maintenance Energizer also sold in Metro.



Another Bilogo, The INT-4 Interceptor also sold in Metro.



The Bilogo AST-5 Armoured Sentinel Transport Vehicle also sold in Metro.



European Bilogo CAP-2 Captivator also sold in Metro.



The Palitoy ESB Battle Damaged X-Wing Fighter was also sold in Metro.



And last The European Bilogo Imperial Tie Interceptor sold in Metro, there is a sticker on it, that says it is moulded in France 8)
 


The toy store Nicki Legetøj or on english Nicki Toys :D I have not found any information about the store before 1983. But in 1983 a man called Jørgen or on english Joergen bought the toy store and named it Nicki Legetøj after his son Nicki :) Unfortunately it looks like after 30 years he closed the store, business was to slow :( I have tried to contact Jørgen about if he remembers anything about star wars toys from the 80s how it was selling it. How and where he bought it from to his store and if he has any pictures from his store with star wars on from the 80s. etc. etc. etc. I hope to hear from him but I do not expect it because his shop is closed. Here is a picture of Jørgen in his store, looks like he love toy :D





So far I have only found one star wars item from his store. The Ewok Combat Glider in a Kenner Box, but with a Palitoy sticker at the top of the box.
 


The supermarket Netto. I have not found any information about the star wars toy have been sold before 1983 in Netto.
I have tried to contact Netto about star wars toys from the 80s. It could have been cool if they had old advertising with star wars from the 80s. Or if they could tell who and where they bought the star wars toy from in the 80s and when was the first time they sold star wars in Denmark. But I hit the brick wall again. Netto could not help me :( But so far I have found proof that Netto sold Clipper, Kenner and Tri-logo :D



It looks like they sold Clipper in Netto, There is Clipper stickers on the back on this 2 cardbacks 8)



It also looks like they sold Kenner ROTJ figures.



And Here is my first proof that Tri-logo also was sold in Denmark.
 


BR, also known as Fætter BR, on English Cousin BR. BR is the biggest Toy Store in Denmark and have nearly 200 Toy Stores in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Faroe Island, Finland and Germany. I remember BR a lot from my childhood, many of my star wars childhood toys was bought in BR. Many of you may already know BR for their famous and cool price stickers. I have tried to contact BR about star wars toys from the 80s. Again it could have been cool if they had old advertising with star wars from the 80s. But they could tell me who and where they bought the star wars toy from in the 80s :shock: They told me they bought it from the producers Kenner, Palitoy, Meccano etc. etc. and not from importers :shock: So far I have found proof that BR sold Kenner, Palitoy, Canadian Kenner and Meccano stuff :D



Every Year BR made a Wish Book for christmas, so kids could see and tell mom and dad what they want for christmas. Here I have the Wish Book from 1984 with 2 pages of star wars toy :D



And here is a Donald Duck Comic from 1985 with a advertising from BR with Star Wars Toy :D



Another BR advertising cut out from a paper :D



Here is 3 POTF books from 3 different BR toy stores. They are stamped in the danish towns Esbjerg, Lyngby and Hvidovre :D



The earliest cardbacks I have found from BR is this ESB 45 Palitoy cardback.



This cardbacks is ROTJ Kenner cardbacks sold in BR.



Tri-logo was also sold in BR, here is a Wicket Tri-logo with a little part of the BR Stjerne Tilbud sticker from 1985, on english Star offer sticker.



Canadian cards was also sold in BR, here is a ROTJ Teebo on a canadian card with the famous star wars ckokpris sticker :D



The Palitoy ESB Millennium Falcon was sold in BR. BR used their own stickers on the boxes in which they wrote what types of batteries needed for the Millennium Falcon.



The SW Meccano X-Wing Fighter was sold in BR. Again BR used their own stickers on the boxes in which they wrote what types of batteries needed for the X-Wing Fighter. This is the first and only Meccano box I have ever seen with danish stickers on.



This is the ROTJ French/English Bilogo Scout Walker also with stickers from BR.



It looks like BR sold a lot of Palitoy here is the PDT-8 in a ESB Palitoy box.



Here are 2 AT-AT ROTJ bilogo boxes both with stickers from BR. Again BR used their own stickers on the boxes in which they wrote what types of batteries needed for the AT-AT.



BR also sold the Kenner Vehicle Maintenance Energizer :D



The Palitoy MTV-7 Multi-Terrain Vehicle was also sold in BR.



Here I have 2 European Bilogo Tie Interceptors both sold in BR, there is a sticker on both, that says it is moulded in France :D



The Kenner Ewok Village Action Playset was also sold in BR.



Tri-logo Sy Snootles And The Rebo Band with the famous star wars ckokpris sticker :D



Palitoy Tauntaun With Open Belly Rescue Feature was also sold in BR.



Bilogo Speeder Bikes sold in BR first with the famous star wars ckokpris sticker. Also one with a Barcode that was later sold for a very low price 4,95 DKR. This one must have been sold as one of the last star wars items in the shops before star wars was all gone in the late 80s.



Kenner Speeder Bikes was also sold in BR, those was much more expensive than the Bilogo so they must have been sold in the early ROTJ period.
 


GK Legetøj, on English GK Toys. Is a Toy Store that I have never heard about in Denmark. I found out they have 11 stores today in Denmark. I will try

Maybe they can tell me more about star wars in the 80s.
