Pouring over the Argos catalogue when we scribbled our Christmas lists was a rite of passage, and as the custom passes down through the generations, the retailer has decided to release a list of the top toys they have sold over the past 45 years.

Get ready to hop aboard a nostalgia train, from Star Wars to Lego and even the good old Game Boy – you'll be brought back to those cherished childhood memories.

While reading through the list, we were drawn straight to our own year of birth, so scroll on, dear reader, to find your own:
