Retro Toys are Making a Comeback!

Retro Toys are Making a Comeback!

We just can’t get enough of retro items and the vintage trend seems here to stay. There is no exception when it comes to toys either! The fascination with retro toys (often encouraged by adults!) has meant that lots of our childhood favourites have made a comeback.

Our favourite comeback is the Mecanno set. Many of us will remember fondly the model construction kits we had as children and the pride we would we have when we showed off our final masterpiece. Embracing the Mecanno return, we have the iconic Land Rover Construction Kit. This timeless model kit will always be a hit with both the little engineers of tomorrow and adults alike. It contains everything you need to make a model Land Rover. Containing 402 pieces plus easy to follow instructions, this kit will have the lucky recipient occupied for hours! A great for all Land Rover lovers out there be they 12 and just learning or 98 and already surrounded by all things Land Rover!

 

If you like the sound of our Land Rover Mecanno set, then we are sure you will love our Thunderbird Construction Kits. From Thunderbird 1, piloted by the one and only Scott Tracy on virtually every single episode of the 60s classic to Gordon Tracy’s Thunderbird 4, the submersible underwater rescue craft, there is a model kit to suit creators and fans alike. Which craft would you pick? Thunderbirds are GO!

 

Of course, we cannot talk retro toys without the ultimate toy that adorned many a kid’s hand back in the day… the catapult! Reminiscent of years gone by, our Catapult Toy will amuse your children but never fear, this catapult comes with soft foam balls so there is no risk of re-incarnating Dennis the Menace!

 

The Potato Zapper might take you back too. There is plenty of good old-fashioned harmless fun to be had with this toy - great for big kids and small kids alike! With over 300 shots from a single potato, you can fire away all day! Get ready for a good ol' showdown with any inanimate object that gets in your way. Easy and fun to use, you are are guaranteed hours of fun - and will get through potatoes at a rapid rate!

 

Finally, for all those budding Paul Daniels out there, the Magic Set is a great gift. Featuring 80 magic tricks including classics like Chase the Ace, your mini magician will have lots of fun entertaining the crowds!
