1987 Argos Catalogue - The Toy Section

Just the toy sections from the 1987 Argos Catalogue. Including some 80s toy gems from Thundercats, Transformers, M.A.S.K, Action Force, Lego, Tomy and lots more. The toys were the best bit right?
Why does a catalogue in the UK have a 'ue' at the end when, in the USA it is just a catalog? Who decided that?
Toy catalogue or toy catalog, it's awesome anyway!

Flipping through all of the fantastic products and photography in this old Argos catalogue brings back loads of awesome memories and gives an interesting insight into life in the 1980s. We can’t wait to explore more 80s and 90s catalogues in future videos - coming soon!

Brief history: Relaxing with a cuppa tea and an Argos catalogue while circling things we were probably never gonna get was a favourite British pastime - especially for kids. In July 2020, the nation mourned when Argos stopped printing their much-loved shopping catalogue after 47 years, 93 editions and more than one billion copies. Dubbed the ‘Book of Dreams’ by Bill Bailey, it was the end of an era. It was more than an iconic book, it was rad and so we celebrate and pay homage to our favourite vintage years in That Was Rad’s retro Argos catalogue series.

Haha! Thanks for your honesty. The Argos catalogues were a bit of an experiment. This one was filmed after going through the entire catalogue so we were a bit fed up by the time we got to the toys!
Will try and be more idiotic next time to please TH-cam!
