Småland is Coming to America and Canada

It's been an eight-year drought for Lundby distribution in the US and Canada. To get the specifics, refer to the front-page article, “Decision to Discontinue Lundby Products in US & Canada Stuns Avid Collectors,” in the September 2005 issue of The Lundby Letter.

That scarcity of Lundby is soon to change, according to Kristina Aronsson, Micki Product Development Manager. “We will launch the Lundby Småland line in the US and Canada this year, starting in August,” wrote Kristina in a recent email. The Småland is the new name for the Gothenburg, mainstay of Lundby dollhouse design. More details will be unveiled soon about how the new launch will be conducted.
