Phantom and Tundras Norwegian Thread

[Darthin]

These ads featured quite heavily in comics leading up to the premiere of Return of the Jedi. You could even write the publisher for a poster of all the (now vintage) figures. Wonder if the poster was the generic Kenner one?

Cool, looks like there was some better star wars commericals in the norweigan donald duck comics than in the danish donald duck comics

Hehe, that might be true but you guys had far better names for the DD characters than us: Rip, Rap and Rup, Georg Gearløs and Fedtmule....I mean, come on

Not really toy-related but I found an old cinema ad for ROTJ from '83:

 

[Pomse2001]

So what is the names on DD characters in Norway ? :lol:

Cool Cinema ad

Just found one page from a mid-eighties toy catalogue from the Ringo store chain. So cool to see what the recommended retail prices were.

Tøft, ikke sett den der siden gamledager. 8)











(Cool, haven't seen that one since the good old days)

Martin, that is a very cool page from a toy catalogue :shock:

The prices looks a lot like the prices in denmark :wink:

 

[Darthin]

I'm surprised how cheap the AT-ST was compared to some of the other stuff; the Rancor cost NOK 110 more than the walker! My parents were tight bastards

Here is the Norwegian SW poster magazine (basically a big fold-out poster) and the SW paperback from 1978:

The 6 Semic flat spine comics:

And the full, 32-issue run of SW comics which were released between 1983 and 1987 (4 issues have lovely posters in them):

The search goes on for more vintage Norwegian stuff

Never thought about the AT-ST and the Rancor prices. I have a few of those with danish price stickers on, I will check if it was the same in denmark.

Cool poster magazine, I have the danish version I also like the books and comics. Funny they look a lot like the danish :lol:

I also like the books and comics. Funny they look a lot like the danish :lol:

Yes I think most Scandinavian stuff had similar distributors and publishers. Scandinavia is often seen as a single, fairly homogenous market.

I think you are right, but what I still do not understand is why we only got 20 comics in denmark and norway and sweden got a lot more :shock:

HEUREKA! Original theatre flyers finally acquired.

SW/ANH:




ESB:




Oddly enough, the ROTJ flyer was only printed in black and white:



Oh happy day! M
