Aldi selling retro 80s toys in Special Buys: Pound Puppies, Tonka Truck

We’ve all had about enough of 2020, which could be why Aldi have decided to take us back to our childhoods with their latest Special Buys.

The German supermarket has a collection of “retro toys” on offer next Saturday that are sure to give us all a nostalgia hit.

The line-up reads like Christmas lists of days gone by, including Carebears on sale for $24.00, Mr and Mrs Potato Head – both $14.99 – as well as Pound Puppies for $29.99.

Everything in Aldi’s offering is seriously retro, with the My Little Pony figures – priced at $14.99 in the supermarket’s latest weekly deal – being based on the original moulds from 30 years ago.

There are super retro board games too, with the Monopoly game coming in a classic 1935 style box and also a game of Battleship up for grabs. Both will set you back $24.99.

One of our favourites has got to be the comeback of the Slinky. Who could forget plonking yourself at the top of some steps and watching in amazement as the clever metal coil climbed its way down without assistance. Let’s be honest, it would still a mind-blowing marvel to see today – not to mention an incredibly relaxing way to pass the time – and for less than five bucks.

Other throwbacks include a Tonka Truck priced at $39.99 and a Spriograph – the only way to doodle before iPads were invented – for $14.99.

Needless to say, this walk down memory lane has caused a bit of excitement among shoppers.

On Facebook, Aussies are excitedly tagging their friends, in particular showing a keen interest in snagging a pound puppy for their own child.
