The Toys R Us catalogue was always my Xmas present of choice guide!

There's also a 1986 one on ther but no Star Wars at all.

None in this 1976 one either but loads of memories

I always used to look at the showers in the old catalogues, if you looked hard enough you could make out the women in the shower through the frosted glass.

Ha ha - I bet every lad our age had a cheeky look at the lingerie section in the Kays catalogue -looking for a hairy bush or two

Look at the prices! I remember staring at this page so much - Never thought it would be 20-ish years later before I owned them all!

Look at the prices!

I actually think they're quite expensive! £20 was a lot of money back then, you could buy a house in the mid 80s for 5 grand! It's no surprise that modern new ships cost £50-£100.

I'd be interested to know if they are RRPs or offer prices too - seems odd that an X Wing is £8, but a Y Wing is £25!

4 figures for £3.99 though - bargain!! Would they have been MOCs or a box with 4 random figures?
