Thank you very much Nuno!
Your English is wonderful!!! (Much better than my Portuguese!! ;-)
TLG said that Lego sales started in Portugal in 1957. (Along with Austria,
Switzerland, Netherlands, and Belgium) Here is what the writing is in all the
countries that sold Lego in 1957, except of course for Portugal!
Here are the countries (1949-57), what year they came online, and the local
language writing on the boxes (from 1955-58):
Denmark: (1949) “Lego Mursten” and “System i leg”
Sweden: (1950) “Lego Mursten” and “System i lek”
Norway: (1953) “Lego Mursten” and “System i lek”
Germany: (1956) “Lego Bausteine” and “System im Spiel”
Austria: (1957) “Lego Bausteine” and “System im Spiel”
Switzerland: (1957) “Lego Bausteine” and “System im Spiel” &
“Lego Briques” and “Du Systeme dans le jeu”
Belgium: (1957) “Lego Bouwstenen” and “Systeem bij het Spel” &
“Lego Briques” and “Du Systeme dans le jeu”
Netherlands: (1957) “Lego Bouwstenen” and “Systeem in het Spel”
I believe that TLG only sold the International "LEGO SYSTEM" (without "System of
Play") sets in Portugal starting in 1957, a year before they were sold elsewhere
in continental Europe.
Thank you again!
This information will be discussed in the upcoming Lego CD.
