ARGOS CATALOGUE AUTUMN/WINTER 1985

I love having a flick through an old catalogue. For most, the catalogue sat alongside the Saturday morning advert to launch young collectors into a campaign of begging, nagging and negotiating for that one toy they had to have. For me, every run up to Christmas was spent with a Biro in hand and a dog eared Argos catalogue In the other. It was part of the season. Ive been flicking through a couple of old volumes this week, and I have to say; the pictures, layout and print are so nostalgic to me. I felt those endorphins tricking through my veins! I hope it makes you smile too. Starting in 1985, when I was born, take a look at what was popular at the time. Some of these prices, wow! Battle Cat £5.45, Jet Fire £24.95, and who remembers ZOIDS!?
