Great video! From someone who lives on both sides of the pond I can suggest it's much easier to post those bigger things back home than trying to take them on the plane and then you don't have to be bothered carrying the around either. There are many package shipping shops in the US that do this all the time and if you are willing to wait a while shipping isn't that expensive either. On another note it was just lovely seeing you (both) so happy and excited in this video! Made my day.
4:22 I grew up with Super Mario, in late 90s I got N64 with it's launch title Super Mario 64. I got all 120 stars in 6 months, thanks for my game magazine, which had instructions to collect all 120 stars. I met Yoshi in Castle's rooftop, I always wanted to play with Yoshi in SM64, but atleast Yoshi gave me 99 lives. Cool video.
Great walk about tour pointing out the rare collectibles at the show. I'm not nearly that observant. But it definitely helps to have an extra set of eyes. I love castlevania Bloodlines. Its a challenge but the spectacular set piece design has made it timeless. A lot of games towards the end of the genesis line were sold in a cardboard boxes instead of the clamshell. There are a few games like tinhead that are available both ways.
New to you. I'm binge watching randomly. Just watching this series. I keep nudging my 11 year old daughter, who is a switch genius and pokemon card guru. As I am a recent cough cough 44 year old the dragon 32 was our first computer and then the amazing amiga 500 batman edition was our family computer until we got a very low powered PC back in the day. At 18 I bought a ps1 just a year before the ps2 came out. I owned the ps2 for not long until I went xbox and have never looked back. We never had nes,snes,master sytem or mega drive, until myself and late wife bought a Wii. She was also PlayStation, so we had two tvs sometimes playing the same game side by side. Love your good vibes.
@@Doesnotcare12 Hey, welcome firstly. Well I’m not that far behind you at 41 *cough, cough*. Ahhh I remember buying my first PS2 with GTA 3. What a moment that was
This looked absolutely amazing and looked like you where in good company! 🤞fingers crossed the TMNT poster makes it ok! Cons like this just seem to be the best place to find those “Grail” items you just never see, I’ve been lucky enough to find a few official signs over years of hunting and to see so many here is 🤯
Man great footage! There was so much cool stuff, so glad you finally got to come to one of these here in the states and a fantastic one at that! I know I keep saying it but thank you for being so amazing, I still can’t believe we finally met and Jess!!!! I’m so glad you like that watch too ❤️🎮
That was a cool show and Retro Rick and pixel game squad was there that’s awesome! Those are two games I am looking for myself doom snes and Castlevania bloodlines. Nice pick ups. I film all my finds also on my CZcams channel. Just subscribed.
Omg you met Rick! Legend! My youngest is ecstatic you found Shantae - especially as he's playing it while we watched 😂 hope to see you at the weekend here in Nottingham!
Excellent video, wish I could do a retro hunt in the US sometime! I'm collecting NTSC NES and PS2 games so it would make the process a whole lot easier instead of relying on ebay.
Haha caught myself in the background as you were walking past that one vendor who had the kitten around her neck. Had a great time! Come back next year!
Loved this video, new to your channel I am a total game head from UK London. Congratz on nabbing Doom and Castlevania Bloodlines. Those store signs omg :O I want them all!
This was my first ever game convention it was worth it … SEGA CD 💿 and Saturn games all over very nice good deals everyone was nice. Glad you had a nice time. Met John Riggs and MJR last time … maybe one day I’ll meet you too lol -Pronkdog13
Great video, but some of those prices make me weep ... rather than inspire me to embrace retro gaming further, I see prices like that and think "no thanks, I'm out" ...
@@TheGebs24 when isn't he busy he's always always busy busy busy lol 😂😂 and I saw his video editor who also has his own CZcams channel at the end of yours lol 🤣
hi enjoy the vlog i got the street fighter version of boxed snes got 1 week ago not tried yet need to got a cartridge on 188games of 1 cart i enjoy rick videos too after you of course any yes Edinbugh is awesome
looks like ya had a good time gemma. i haven't been to a gaming convention before that is close enough for travel towards me. But would love to attend one year at least to say i did it. looked like a ton of fun. :)
I remember seeing you there. I was the guy in the wheelchair wearing a red Tetris shirt. I bought the same TMNT poster. Is that a TMNT tattoo I see on your arm? RJ
@@TheGebs24 It was awesome. I got some heavy NES games like Chip 2, Color a Dinosaur, Jetsons, and Mario's Time Machine. I also got a CIB Tengen Tetris. You should watch me livestream playing it. Did you see me? Can you show me a closeup of the tattoo? RJ
Those delicious coins were only the teaser! That guy's reputation has since crashed through the bottom of the barrel it was already scraping around and is currently heading towards the centre of the earth! 😀
Fetish over signage is something I can't get my head around. Usa does retro proud, much better than UK. I scored bloodlines for £100 when Milton Keynes got the retro market. I think it's worth more than £100 now, be interesting to see what it goes for.
@@TheGebs24 God, she doesn't look old enough. Thanks. Im not long subscribed and I havnt been through your back catalogue to get to know you both. Great vids and thanks for reply. Have a great evening. Also much love from Northern Ireland
I have no idea how I missed that either. The near lack of a British accent should have been my first clue. (Though global accents are fading in general.)
Boogie just got caught scamming people from lying about having cancer. I wouldn't promote him on your channel if I were you. Also if you haven't seen the documentary on him I would really recommend it
@TheGebs24 It's not his documentary some other guy did it about him. Really well done documentary Mike club the guys name is. 5.2million views on that video
@TheGebs24 boogie allowed it. He goes around with him documenting his life. Boogie thought it would help people understand him but it just showed how much of a dirt bag he is. Just because he is well known doesn't mean he's a nice person.
