Argos Catalogue, 1976 | HOW TO BE A RETRONAUT

You know when some old people well up at the thought of times gone by?

The toys section Oh man

 

[djpringle]

I got all nostalgic a couple of days ago looking at old C64 games on eBay but that Argos catalogue made me smile

God that brought back memories of desire, those 110mm cameras with concertina action..man I wanted one of them, even though the quality was sheeite

The Apollo11 immigration form

No way

Love the fact they were selling air pistols! and advertising the kids bikes as pavement cycles

[Raven]

None, I was -2.

I wasn't disputing that I just found it funny More so because it was a bike for 4 year olds

 

[Jiggs]

Fisher Price airport for the win.

 

[DaGaffer]

Awesome. I actually had quite a few of the toys there; the 6 Million Dollar Man, Action Man Sheridan Tank, Evel Knieval Stunt Cycle, Space:1999 Eagle. Those LED watches look familiar as well although I think it was a few years later when I had one of those.

Love the air pistols; first thing I always put on my Christmas list every year. Always vetoed by my Mum - so Dad bought one "for himself" and let us shoot up Airfix kits in the back garden \o/

I had a Casio digital watch that played Yellow Rose of Texas

 

[Aoami]

that catalogue looks like my nans house

 

[Raven]

Nah, she has better curtains.

 

[Appollo]

I had the Fisher Price farm, was rox!

 

[Aoami]

Nah, she has better curtains.

beef curtains yes

actual curtains no

 

[fettoken]

OH OH OH i damn well want one of those LED display watches. Anyone selling?

 

[Wij]

Fuck that. Where's the Freeman's bra section ?

 

[Turamber]

The sight of those electronic watches did it for me too. They went from being the most desirable item you could buy or wear to being given away with a gallon of petrol. Back when a gallon cost less than £1.

 

[Lamp]

Anyone remember Tiger Tokens at the petrol station?

 

[Appollo]

Yep, crystal cut glasses 4tw!

 

[Litmus]

lol, look what i found in my dads kitchen

 

[Reno]

New revolutionary cup and saucers that can stand vertically in your cupboards, giving more use to the sides of kitchen cabinets?

Or are you setting all of us up to buying a miracle cure for crinkled (sp?) necks later on?

Lol btw

 

[russell]

I had a womble.
