However.... HOLY CRAP toys were cheap then. fk my lying bd parents and the cool toys they denied me. s.

Hey I had one of those purple lorry cab things! I wonder what happened to it.

There's so much stuff in there that seems to vaguely seem familiar, I'm sure it's taking me back to my childhood!

[DannyVTS]

the pictures aren't working for me? It's about 15 years before my argos time mind but would be interesting to see

Excellent.

Loads of memories in there, including the car stereo that was in my first mini!

I had most of the stuff on that page! MASK was awesome.

Wouldn't say it was cheap though, you can probably double those prices for today's money...

Wow, do you remember the Graphic Equalisers for cars:

Simply smashing

It really is the bible for the Bullseye researcher tasked with filling up the prize board - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A07jP_d6tFM


Very little out of that set of stunners came without a 16 day money back guarantee.

Had loads of those cars in the toy section. May still have some as I kept them for my (now 17) son to play with when he was young.

We prefered the Littlewoods catalogue.

Car stereos were something else back then. Bring back graphic equalizers !

I had that Sharp radio/cassette and that Audioline graphic equaliser in my Opel Kadette and then in my mkII Escort. Black Sabbath never sounded better (perhaps).

i found a 1983 tandy cataloge a while back and it brought back many memories.

ergonomics and design have come on a long way since those days.

Wowsers. Look at some of the "retro" watches. Very collectible now. If I had a time machine, I know how I'd make money... travel back to 1985...

I just got back with the time machine, you can borrow it if you want. Just top up the flux capacitor.

Me too!

And none of it was ever paid for.

[Hub]

The toys bring back memories! The good old fisher price cassette player - I love that!

[andy400]

I can't see it, I can't see it! Restrictions at work and no broadband at home

Can someone tell me what's on the Musical Instruments pages, please? Especially Casio keyboards.

I want my own little nostalgia trip.....
