[QUOTE="spoons, post: 398034, member: 33"] I found a great site last night where someone had scanned in all the old Argos catalogues. I've copied the SW pages and it makes a great chronology documenting the popularity of Star Wars. Argos apparently didn't start selling loose figs until ESB and only sold the whole range by the time of ROTJ The range first appears in 1979, and the focus is on the 12" line [ATTACH=full]158629[/ATTACH] 1980 [ATTACH=full]158630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158631[/ATTACH] 1982 [ATTACH=full]158632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158633[/ATTACH] 1983 [ATTACH=full]158634[/ATTACH] 1984 [ATTACH=full]158635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158637[/ATTACH] 1985 - popularity winding down [ATTACH=full]158638[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158639[/ATTACH] 1986 - last time it appears [ATTACH=full]158640[/ATTACH] I've not bothered posting all the other toy lines, but will post the Action Man on another forum - anyone that is interested the scans are all here: http://retromash.com/argos/ [/QUOTE]
