I think we will still be getting Cadbury in the US of A, but it'll be made in USA Cadbury, not made in the UK. There is a difference to the discerning palette. <br />The chocolate almond is my favorite, but I believe that any type of Cadbury bar will no longer be imported.<br /><br />And Colin, I'm glad that you could eventually get the classic, life changing (for me #137). It's a shame that distribution was so shoddy there, because X-Mens were not cheap to buy as back issues! Even back then, I paid a pretty penny to get #120-121 as back issues.dbutler16https://www.blogger.com/profile/00046066729353639991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-6820678577590641432015-01-28T09:53:55.955-05:002015-01-28T09:53:55.955-05:00CF, I bought X-Men #120 but didn't see another...CF, I bought X-Men #120 but didn't see another X-Men till #132 exactly a year later.

When I think about it I don't know if Marvel UK could actually stop any imports but they could have tried to make distribution difficult (assuming it's even true that they tried). Sorry you won't be getting any more Cadbury's chocolate - I hadn't heard about that !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-51668134919431334022015-01-27T14:27:53.266-05:002015-01-27T14:27:53.266-05:00I'd somehow missed these when they came out, a...I'd somehow missed these when they came out, and had to buy them as not-too-cheap back issues later, though I had started collecting X-Men with #117.<br /><br />Yes, Colin, this is X-Men #120-121. I know what you mean about imports being blocked, though. It's recently been announced that British chocolates will not be imported to the states. No more British Cadbury bars!! :-(<br /><br />By the way, I hope you were able to somehow get a hold of #137. A true classic that was burned into my brain permanently, especially the classic cover, ugly banner across the top and all.dbutler16https://www.blogger.com/profile/00046066729353639991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-84505394232496042202015-01-27T08:34:44.694-05:002015-01-27T08:34:44.694-05:00This is X-Men #120-121, right ?

At this time Marvel UK were printing the earlier Dave Cockrum stories and apparently they tried to block imports of the U.S. X-Men comic-book so it wouldn't compete. If that's true X-Men 120 got through okay 'cause I bought it and all attempts to block imports must have been abandoned by 1980 as I got hold of the Hellfire Club/Dark Phoenix run with no problems (except the double-sized #137 as there was still a problem with the distribution of double-sized issues but even that was solved by mid '81).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
