From Toy Story to Polly Pocket
Pages taken from an Argos catalogue printed in the late 90s are bound to stir some memories for a generation of children. It may be hard to believe, but it's been 25 years since 1999 - and as the year draws to an end, it will soon be 25 years since the millennium.
The new concept of browsing a catalogue in-store for items that were then quickly retrieved from a backroom warehouse was an instant hit with customers. Generations have sat and folded page corners or circled our desired item from an Argos catalogue with a mini blue pen. On one page, the catalogue offerings included Polly Pocket toys, as well as brands like Animal Hospital, Pets To Go! and Fluffy Surprise. At the time, a number of Polly Pocket toys advertised for under £5.
When it comes to Barbie, the cheapest toy featured on the Argos catalogue page is the Barbie 6-Fashion Pack for £6.99, followed by the Barbie Colouring Case for £8.99. The most expensive toy in this section is the Barbie and Horse Gift set for £29.99.
