30 seconds of pure WANT - Classic 80s Toys Ads.
Remember the days before iPads and Playstations where you had to use your imagination a little or play the game with an actual person in the same room?? No nor me, but apparently they are now retro games and toys!! Whether it was the family favourite board game or your favourite sylvanian family it now seems far more friendly and sociable than shouting at a french 15 year old whose just crushed your kill ratio on Call of Duty. Get ready to hop back to the 1980s, because weâre revisiting some of the best 80s toy commercials. They may have only lasted an average of 30 seconds (Hard to believe, right?) and been packed with loads of imagery, a jingle and the usual fast-talking small print but they live on for years conjuring great memories of enthusiastically writing Christmas lists mid September! So get ready for a trip down memory lane as I show you my favourite toy commercials of the 1980s! So sit back, relax and get ready to remember what playtime was like before technology took over.
Teddy Ruxpin the storytelling bear was one of the most popular 1980s toys. Today, a toy like this would be able to recognize what kids said to him and respond and be completely programmed on some sort of chip. Back in the day, Teddy Ruxpin worked with a cassette tape but we all still thought he was the coolest thing in the world. Can you imagine a toy running on a cassette tape today?
Lucy's Lazy Sunday!
Fridays and Saturdays are for partying and Sundays are for taking it easy and re-charging! This is my kind of Sunday:
Morningâ¦wake up in our lounge pants to some tea and toast all served up in one of our retro mugs
We've Come Up Trumps With Our Cool New Card Games!
Ever stuck for retro gifts for that retro kid in your life? Well, these made me smile â memories of Top Trumps in the playground in the 1980s came flooding backâ¦
If you've never heard of Top Trumps, where have you been? It's a card game. Each card contains a list of numerical data, and the aim of the game is to compare these values in order to try to trump and win your opponents card. Back in the day it was all about pitting the latest sports cars, ships, lorries, or tanks against each other. But nowadays the range is MASSIVE, and not restricted to mini-petrolheads. You can play this classic game with everything from DC Superheroes and Transformers, Disney Princesses or Spongebob right the way through to Moshi Monsters!!
So, even in this digital age kids (big or small) can put down their PSP's and ditch their DS's in favour of a good old fashioned (sorry I mean retro) card game now in stock!!
