US/UK Sets
Sets offered in the United States and the United Kingdom were manufactured in Japan and sold through Eldon Industries of Hawthorne, California. It appears that the exact same sets - box, instructions and all - were sold in both markets. The only one I have not yet seen evidence of being sold in the UK is the Deluxe Space Set. What's not clear is whether these same sets were also sold in other English speaking countries. There are many Canadian variation sets but that doesn't mean US sets were never sold there as-is. There is also at least one Australian market set that seems to only differ from the US version by what appears to be a Tomy sticker applied to the box.
Space
The box art on Construction, Firefighter and Cargo Jet sets were updated to de-emphazize the Billy Blastoff name. By the time the Snowmobile set came out, Billy Blastoff had become just Billy. Scuba Scout doesn't seem to have needed a change. Although I'm referring to these as "gen 1" and "gen 2" they really are just a box variation as the contents did not change in any of them as did in the first and second generation Space Scout, Space Base and Robbie Robot sets. I will re-organize this as some point in the future. What's really odd is that the sides of the boxes on all three didn't change and use what is the newer font. Unless I have them reversed and the Billy Blastoff name was actually emphasized...
