Then i also learned something today, I though I had seen us esb boxes
but also canadian.
Yes danish kids was not happy with that I guess
I am not sure about when star wars toy first came to denmark. But it was late that the big shops began to sell it.
I remember a guy that sold me his childhood lot to me here in denmark maybe 10 years ago. He was a few years older than me and told me that he could not buy star wars in denmark in the stores he visited in the late 70s and when the esb came out he could in 1980 he could still not find the new esb toy in denmark. But he had family in usa that bought star wars to him and his brother and mailed them to denmark to them. So all his star wars toy was bought in usa. I only got 50% of the lot because his brother had the other part of the lot and he would not sell his star wars toy. But it was a nice lot I got maybe 50 figures most complete with weapons and maybe 5 vehicles, 1 playset and a tauntaun. So they got a lot from usa.
I would not say star wars not sold in denmark in the late 70s and very early 80s. I am sure a few shops maybe in copenhagen imported star wars. But most kids bought toy in the local toy store so not many kids could buy star wars or saw star wars in the stores. First later between 1980 and 1983 the big toy stores began to import star wars and sell it and then the shops were full with star wars all over the country. But I can't still confirm if it was in 1980, 81, 82 or 83. I only remember back to about 1983 where I was 4 years old and the toy stores I visited was full of esb star wars toy.
