In those years, at the age when playing was more important than wealth or poverty, however, some children’s possessions were always different and therefore they were often envied. While trying to fit the colorful flutes bought from the nearest stationery store to our bag, they became the favorite students of music lessons with Yamaha flutes carefully removed from their cream-colored cloth bag.
We have compiled 20 things that many of us will remember with envy, which were seen as an expression of wealth at that time. If we have fastened our seat belts, we can start a short time travel.
Crayons for children who have the privilege of skin color when painting: Monami crayon
The only monkey that is a sign of wealth: LCW bag with monkey
Architect of airy walks, luminous steps: Illuminated shoes
Helvacıoğlu flute’s arch-rival: Yamaha flute
Wheelchair passing by us in our childhood years when we were hunched over from carrying tens of books: The squeegee bag
While we build modest houses from cushions and coffee tables for ourselves and play, a doll’s eye-catching 2- or 3-storey house: Barbie doll’s house
The cool vehicle that was more valuable in our eyes than the latest model cars in those years: Battery powered car
Pencil holder that draws attention with various pencils that come out as its compartments are opened: Three-layer pencil case
Compared to the watches we draw on our wrist, the cool watch that can both show the real time and perform operations: The calculator watch
The prestigious toy that has tracks that can cover an entire room and creates a hypnotic effect when it sets up the tracks and starts the train journey: Train set
The sports equipment that we admire without looking funny and which is always very dangerous according to our mothers: Skates
Bianchi bike, used by the cool kids of the neighborhood, where we queued up for a lap ride

The dream of a generation growing up in the same room with their siblings: The nursery
The game machine we know and love with Sonic, the advertising face, where you can play the most charismatic games of the era: Sega game console
Bonus: Tatilya, an entertainment center that we can call Disneyland of those years, where you can go the more weather you go!
What is left of Tatilya nowadays, neither LCW bags with monkeys, nor the ages when we are eager for lighted shoes… If you remember different things that we couldn’t reach when we were children and maybe that’s why we always forgot to add, you can share them with us in the comments.
