Real talk...
First of all a pleasure to be the one there with you during this moment. Second...I am super proud of you man. This is a massive achievement and you are doing this so well! Lastly...thanks for allowing us to be the inspiration for your channel man, seeing all you have done and will continue to do is beyond humbling and I am so pumped for the future! LETS FRIGGIN GOOO!
That's a real truly friendship ❤️:')
For my son !!
I love the relationships all you guys have! So cool to see across all channels from Riggs, Metal Jesus, Gabbo, and Pixel Squad.
Help him get a website! I'm sure a lot of us want to support and buy from him but we can't make the trip (yet)
so thankful for you my friend!
So happy for you man. Must be surreal for you and look like you still don’t believe it’s your store. Been watching you from the beginning, huge milestone ❤
thank you man, you my guy
Yooo!! @Pokerev in the house!!
I am so happy for Rick. He deserves all of this for all the work and effort he has put into everything he does. 🤘
Craig and Melissa are really great people. They've done a lot to make that store what it is today - I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
Even being a long-time subscriber, this is so surreal even for me. There is a saying "Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery." You will never know what will happen in the future. Now being the proud owner of Game Point has solved the mystery of tomorrow. Congratulations on getting the store. May it bring you, your family,, and friends joyous occasions for many years to come.
thank you so much my friend...ive appreciated your support so much over the years!
@@retrorick long time sub. Love the channel. Congrats. Just curious. What’s the average weekly sales?
It warms my heart to see people have great things happen to them. Congratulations once again for this glorious achievement.
Today I'm gonna start off with a $10 bill and turn it into a game store! Lol, in all seriousness this is amazing and your channel is not only a great source of entertainment and a way of feeling nostalgia, it's also an inspiration to so many. Whether you're inspired to do CZcams, or collect more, or flipping, it's all here and you're at the helm... absolutely crushing it! Love this channel.
That is so incredible! Congratulations brother! You deserve it Rick! I know you will bring joy to many other gamers in the community with your store. You have already touched the hearts of so many people with your channel. Your hard work shows. Once again, congratulations. God bless!
Rick, I’m so happy for you. We were just hit by hurricane Ian and everything has been nothing but chaos but seeing your video brought a smile to my face. Congratulations. I’ll definitely visit YOUR STORE as soon as I can.❤❤❤
That's wild. Congrats man!
For my son
The end of this video gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been watching you for awhile now Rick and your an inspiration to the retro community and I’m so happy for you brotha! You deserve all the success in the world
it really was so special...i appreciated riff making that edit!
So fricken impressed with what you have accomplished man, your store is incredible and you deserve it! Elisa and I are so excited to see the future of you and your channel after taking such a huge step! Don't forget to take a breather every so often, you already do so much for the community 😊
You should ask people who come into the store what to do with the board games. If there a community of people who go to the store for them, then you should consider keeping them.
The store is so beautiful. Really makes me wish we had a bigger location with super high ceilings. The possibilities are endless with a space that size! Congratulations man!
One of my favorite game stores double jump video games, I’m also very proud of all the work you’ve put in for ur store Also! So excited for all my video game owners !
thank you my friend...if we can make our store even half as good as double jump, we will be in great shape!
DoubleJump x RetroRick Collab!?.. Been a long time fan of both!
@@joshvue2467 im in!
@@retrorick I Would love for that collab cause I been watching you both for awhile lol
This is amazing Rick. You deserve this for all you do. I really want to see your sons reaction to this place....I can't even imagine, growing up with a dad who owns a store like this, learning about it all, understanding it. You are truly blessed brother, I am so excited for this new chapter to unfold. I'm really happy the NES Pursuit was there with you/has been there with and for you too.
I can't even express how deeply I admire how you've taken a hobby you have a passion for and have turned it into such a successful career. I only started watching your channel about a year or so ago with $10 game collection season 1, but quickly turned into a big fan of your content. Just... the biggest of kudos for you man.. seriously. Keep on kicking butt out there man, we'll keep watching and rooting for you :)
Congratulations Rick!
You’re a great guy and deserve the store and more.
Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Killer store bud! Was able to visit it last year when I was in Arkansas… the display items are definitely next level. Looking forward to what you do with it.
The magical use of colors that KB toys and Toys R Us had in the 90’s was the secret sauce that your new store has. The bigger than life characters tells a story that inspires without any digital stimulation that other stores today use.
The best of successes Rick! You guys are an inspiration as collectors and as a community for all of us who enjoy retro, even in distant latitudes as is my case, from Costa Rica.
Kinda wild for me to see you grow from a scrappy 2k sub YT channel to almost 200k, but also a freaking game store owner!
Wild stuff man! Very proud of you! Keep going!
Congratulations on your acheivement Retro Rick! You deserve it! I've been watching your videos since late 2019. I was and still am a big fan of your channel. You're a great guy and I'm so proud of you. :) Keep up the awesome work and Keep On Gaming! :)
I'm super excited for you Rick! I absolutely love the store. There's nothing like owning a piece of your childhood. Good luck with everything my friend.
Amazing journey you have had and what amazing friendships you have created with the community. I can't wait to come down and see the store. Store looks amazing! Hard work pays of, but the love of the hobby, and the love of nostalgia, is what keeps me coming back to your channel.
Congrats on the new store man! I feel like that "Museum" area could be used to display very rare games for sale for certain consoles like Nintendo or N64 or even display rare toys. The museum area is a cool idea I just don't think if it'd bring customers in and could be used in a better way. Congrats again man!
Glad to see someone working hard to keep the past alive !!!! I love the 90's.
I am so so happy for you Retro Rick. You are one of the most honest and wholesome people on CZcams these days and I am so excited to see you be able to obtain something you have loved your whole life dude. What a freaking score!!!! Love you and your fam all the way from Australia. :)
Such a beautiful store. Yes the statues and displays stand out. That effect definitely gets me as what I love about collecting is the curation and display of your collection. It feels like a cool place to hang out as well as find games on my list.
The fact that this is partially a museum/exhibit puts a smile on my face. So happy for you Rick! :D
Congrats man! It's been cool to see how far the channel has come. I'll need to check the store out in person sometime!
come on man...would love to have you!
Genuinely happy for you, sir. Doing things the right way, exercising kindness, taking chances with people who love you… it looks like a dream come true. I hope you get to love this whole experience for as long as you want it!
i hope you do great things to the store! i’ve shopped there many times and traded games as well. one of my favorite game stores ever! can’t wait to see you next time i visit
I'm so happy for you. This was such a heartfelt video and it's very clear that you are the right person for that game store.
Congrats Retro Rick, what an accomplishment for you my man. I'm so proud of you too as a viewer who's watched you since 2020 when the pandemic was forcing everyone to stay home, I found some comfort in your videos, feeling like I was going out and on adventures with you while being locked in my own home. Thank you for everything you've done, and I'm looking forward to following you on your journey!
As a fan of the channel from TX, I think a cool way people out of state could contribute to you and the store would be a gofundme for a new “RETRO Rick’s” sign for front of shop - Do it!
⬆️⬆️Hey fan I got some package for you inbox right away to claim your prize 🎁
Congrats in the purchase and can't wait to see the new things to come as well. Great literally meeting you moments ago also and lets keep the gaming life ALIVE!!!!
Just started following your channel out of a random CZcams search and I’m so thankful I found it and I’m super stoked for you man! Congratulations! God Bless you dude. This is so awesome. I’m vicariously living a dream out through you and your channel.
I don't know how many times I've seen this video its such a great achievement. I'm glad to say I've been here since the beginning you are the reason I took all my consoles out that I had in boxes and clean them, connect them, display and play them in the mancave.
So happy for you Rick can’t wait to see what the future holds been here since around the start and I can’t believe how far you’ve come I’ll stay as long as the journey continues and I’ll enjoy every second of it!
Been watching you for two years now, so excited for you. Congratulations retro on all your success, how amazing it is that you have a whole store in retrospect to the channels success. I love all your ideas for the new store, if I could offer one suggestion. It would be to consolidate the whole board game section into a tower because of the massive ceiling space that you have. Don't take that part of the business out of the store, just use the height to keep it as part of the business. Love everything you're doing, can't wait to see the future success!
Been watching you for awhile now and I'm so happy for you man. Store looks awesome and has so much potential for expansion, content, vlogs, etc. Even contests where fans could be invited to the store to pick up their favourite game or have a budget if they won and be featured in a video. Could throw a party with some other CZcamsrs, play some retro games as a "Game Off"... The possibilities are endless!
Love seeing the passion put into this. Thank you for sharing your journey and looking forward to more great content and memories.
Congratulations! I can't even imagine how you feel. Excited to see the journey evolve and continue.
I've been shopping at Game Point off and on ever since I was in high school, so early 2000s. It's changed hands several times over the years but it's always been the used game store in Conway, AR with the best employees and the nicest shopping experience. Glad to see it's still in loving hands.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can see the Passion you have for it.
I know you'll do great!!!! Hope to visit your store one day!!
Congratulations Rick!! I found your channel while going through some hard times with life kicking me while I was down and as I have began clawing my way back to life I am seeing you taking your big leaps with life and doing great things! I am so happy for you and your family, Rick! And I wish you nothing but prosperity and success with your new endeavors!!!!
Feedback appreciated (100%) ⬆️⬆️
Let talks👍...👍... 💐💐🎁🎁
This is so amazing! So glad I found your channel. You inspire me to continue to collect and keep the hunt alive for all things.
Dang. Congratulations Rick! This is so amazing! I teared up a bit at the end with those nice words. I wish you and your family nothing but the best with this store. I know it is in great hands and I look forward to see what you do with it!
Your new store looks so amazing Rick! So excited for you. You truly deserve it. I'm looking forward to seeing what all you do with the store. You have such an awesome place!! 🎉👏💙
Congrats Rick! Amazing what you’ve accomplished in 3 years. Looking forward to the enhancements you make with the store moving forward!
I’ve been watching your content for a little over a year now and seeing this made me oddly proud. I see is a guy who works hard, has a passion for what he does, knows his stuff and has a deep respect for the community he’s a part of taking the next steps towards becoming a true legend.
Congratulations on your game store Rick! You and your family deserve it, all the hard work and probably all the sacrifices you had to make to get where you are now.
From spending days upon days making content for all of us each week, keeping us entertained and hopeful during the pandemic.
I want to thank you so much for everything you do and wish you the best of luck with your new adventures.
I've been following this channel last 2 years and must say wow what joy and fun been to see how easy things can be found and achieve.
I'm a smal game collector which my wife think I'm not. But compared to community for sure.
And this have inspired me to do collecting in a smarter way and aswell enjoy it.
I am hopefully in near future get the chance to go to this store all the way from 🇳🇴.
Enjoying everytime I see a new video either for games, store or retro hunt.
Congratulations on your achievement and well done 👏 🥳🥳
This is awesome I've been watching you from the get go!!!! Congratulations 🎉 my friend super excited for you and your adventures in life and love that I got to share in the retro gaming side of your life!!!
That is so awesome. Congrats. Epic future videos from the Game Store coming.
Congrats on all your success! Great video to see. Looking forward to continue the journey with you.
Congrats on the store!
The size and order of the store is so clean.
A lot of used game stores are very old looking and have narrow entrances or have no space. The way that it is set up, seems to guide you in without having anything get in the way.
It looks alive. It looks like the games are given respect. Its amazing.
Happy for you. That is an amazing store clearly. More then a store, an attraction really. After watching your videos for the last couple of years now I think you are the right person to carry on the tradition of excellence the original owners installed. Good luck and enjoy the moment. If we ever get to your area we will definitely check it out.
So happy for you man!! This couldn’t have happen to a more better person than yourself!! So deserving of it and know you will continue the greatness of the store and even push it further!! Can’t wait to see what you do!!
I’m so pleased for you dude… you have the most amazing opportunity ahead of you and I can’t wait to watch what you do… good luck!!!
Congrats on the store rick, its definitley one of a kind and rrreeeaally cool place, i hope it brings you and family lots of joy and hapiness, and you get to spread that hapiness into the community, for many years to come
Only just caught this video. 6months old now, but congratulations Rick, awesome brother. I'm in little old New Zealand but dream of having a store like this for children and retro fans. Thank you for inspiring the dreams Rick!
Well done Rick, so happy for you. Amazing to be able to do something that you're do passionate about. Praying for success for you in this venture 🙏
I'm not long time subscriber. I found this channel a few months ago but I instantly fell in love. That nostalgia Rick talks about is so powerful. I'm so proud of you Rick. I'm so happy you get to have this journey, and if I'm ever out in that area, I will make it a point to swing by the store. Congratulations.
⬆️⬆️Hey fan I got some package for you inbox right away to claim your prize 🏆🏆🎁🎁
Very happy for you Retro. Glad you are able to follow your dreams. Congratulations, you will do great!!!
Congratulations. This store is absolutely amazing. Hopefully, I'll come by some day to visit/shop. Way to go for sure!
awesome Rick really excited for you, the store is fantastic ,the statues are amazing. I always loved this store when you visited in other videos when it wasn't yours
So excited for you! Pumped to see all the amazing things that will happen in this place
Rick, congratulations! I'm stoked for you and the fam.
Found the channel during COVID lockdown here in Australia and never miss an upload. Your success is inspiring and you deserve every ounce of it!
Your friendships with the guys you feature is so real and authentic. It's probably my favourite part of the channel (ditto for pixel game squad, phoenix resale etc...) Friends like that are hard to come by.
From what we see on this side of the screen, all incredible humans (I'm sure they are on your side of the screen too!)
Look forward to future content. Haven't been to Arkansas before, next time I'm in the states I'll be sure to check out the store!
All the best.
Congratulations and wish you the best with the store. Looks so awesome!
Congratulations. You can tell how much passion you have for it. Wish you the best and when I'm in the area will make a point to pass by. Your living your dream!
I'm super happy for you! I hope you make lots of vlogs about running the business. There are not a lot of comic/game shop vlog content here. I adore the few super small businesses and channels that actually show a little slice of running their place
I have shopped here for the last 15 years and this is my absolute favorite game store. The employees are what honestly made me keep coming back. Everyone that works there is super nice and they go above and beyond to help you.
A good friend of mine owns a comic and game store. He's always done well with Magic and Pokemon cards. A good portion of those sales come from having a dedicated place for the customers to meet up and play. Makes it another destination. Rather than Jim's questionable "secondary" use of socks, smelling basement, they can come there and buy new packs, drinks and snacks from you. He also diversified into high end RC cars. Which has done amazing for him. They are always breaking and buying new parts. Congrats on the store by the by.
this place looks amazing! you're doing a really good thing for the people who come in there. not just going into a game store, but having an experience. awesome dude. to replace the board game section, I would put retro toys and action figures there for sure. place sounds like Heaven lol
Congratulations Rick. I love your channel. Being born in the 80's myself it brings back all the good memories! :)
Also that shop is amazing. Wish I could pop over from the UK, London to see it. Maybe one day lol. Good luck and I hope it all goes well. 👍🏻
Huge accomplishment. Make the community proud and keep spreading the retro love
This is badass! Inspiring bro! I've found your channel rather recently and I love your content. I dont really buy or play retro games or play hardly any games at all.... but I'm fascinated with you and your content. Thanks!
Congrats man! I think I have been watching your channel for about a year and it has been great to see your excitement and passion for all things 80’s & 90’s nostalgia! I can’t wait to see what you continue to do! That ending…😢
I have to say thank you so much I’ve been going this store for a while, I just came back and the improvement is AMAZING. Keep up the work it’s just amazing I bought a retro punisher action figure and I love it thank you
Congrats! I hope you keep the store up and continue to put the same love and care into it that the prior owners did.
Congrats Rick, super happy for you. The store looks rad!
Congrats Man, your channel and a few others has been a constant source of inspiration in my resale and collecting journeys.
That's was an emotional tear jerker 😢 Been here from the start and you have came such a long way in such a short space of time, that's store is amazing 😁 So happy for you and huge congratulations again! So excited to watch and be in on your journey 🤩
CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 im so happy for you. Love the store ❤
Hey Rick, I have recently discovered you today while I was off work sick & have binged through a lot of your videos. It’s crazy to see how your journey has panned out!
Rick, congrats on the new store. I am so glad you will be able to continue bringing nostalgic happiness to everyone … not only through your CZcams channel, but also through the store. Good luck, man!
Keep it up Rick! Love the content and happy to see where this adventure brings you! Congratulations!
So happy for you, it's great seeing someone do really well. Keep up the great work!
I ve now watched this episode 2 times! What a inspiration to buy the store that you go to and now its yours is crazy! From one youtuber and collector to another.....congrats again
This is incredible, life really is a wild journey and the fact that you have ended up in this position is well deserved 👏
Rick good on ya man! I'm proud of ya man! I found your channel first, and then Pixel Game Squad. I've been subbed to both of you ever since! Would love to visit your store one day!!!!
As someone who's been following your channel for awhile super excited for you. Looking forward to seeing your success with the store!
Amazing store Rick, wishing you all the success in this new venture. Hoping I can come visit this one day next time I head to the US looks EPIC!!
I’m so happy for you brother! Great things happen to great people!
My heart is happy that you have this new enterprise!
Much love from an Aussie fan!
Watching the channel for some years now. Congratz with the store, super cool. Great video too, always nice to see Riff and Ricky collaborating with other youtubers. Also got goosebumps at the part where I heard the bossfight tune of FF7! The background music in your videos is always great. Greetz from the Netherlands 💪🏼 keep up the good work!
Congratulations. This is so cool! I wish you the best of luck. I've always wanted to do this, but a horror toy and collectibles/DVD store. Your the best and what an inspiration.
I wish the best for you! I always stop by that store anytime I’m in the area, and was blown away by it the first time I saw it. I personally love having the board game section, so I would like to see them stick around, but I understand the space issue. So anyway since you asked that’s my thoughts haha!
Congrats Rick!! I’m a newer viewer, but it’s great seeing someone who’s so genuine about what they love being able to run a store like this. I hope I can make it by someday!
