Certainly spotted a few familiar items in that catalogue, and yes most of it was crap but so's much of today's digital age tat. You can tell it's age by the lack of electronics (despite the high tech Casio calculators that we weren't allowed to use in school) and the fact that the girl's dolls aren't like the spray tanned , tatoo'd, 'multicultural', high heel wearing botox laden big busted bling wearing Bratz dolls in the Argos catalogue today. :lol: Progress eh ?

And everyone thought that there was no bourgeois capitalist marketing behind the iron curtain, comrade. 8-)
