So fun fact the warehouse used to be an antique mall before they moved in. The antique mall is just next door.

[@DanielNostalgicBitz]

This was so cool to watch and i bet yall were freaking out on the inside to get a freaking awesome tour of fangamer !!!! Hot dang i know i would of been !!!

[@JRPGLife]

Totally! Lol it was tough to keep our cool 😅

[@theoriginalfat]

Excellent video, I really love the mindset from the CEO on keeping the company small but successfully at the same time... greetings from Costa Rica

[@JRPGLife]

Greetings back to you! Thanks for watching 😊

[@dfilm]

I love this company. They always throw in tiny surprises when you order from them

[@vinylreckoning]

It’s so awesome to see people who clearly love what they do and put their whole heart in to it.

[@dksretrocloset]

This is so cool!! I want to support them even more after learning about them!

[@dakotachambers6824]

Very cool inside look at fan gamer warehouse. Reid is such a nice guy.

[@LewWagerly-ik2qt]

"you can get them right from them" *instantly spends 200$* sooooo worth it. Awesome video as always :)

[@JRPGLife]

Lol thanks for watching 😅

[@Darule514]

By far my favorite video on this channel beside the game hunting vids. 😊

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for saying so ☺️

[@slayerking88]

I have been a fan of their stuff since around 2013. I still have shirts I bought from them that I haven't worn because their stuff just looks so good and I will feel bad using them.

[@snyderec3952]

I love their EB Merch, I have it all displayed in my gaming room. I also stumbled across the Japan shop by pure accident when I was in Tokyo last year.

[@Rikuoftheearth]

I think this is the most wholesome video I have ever seen, it was beautiful you two. I'm glad you got to experience this. Here is to 100k this year!

[@GamerAhmer]

Very cool to see the behind the scenes!

[@ScottofOakland]

I'm so happy to hear that Signalis is getting love. I really hope they make a ton of merch for that game. I'd buy all of it. Its one of my favorite games right now.

[@GunMetalJackal]

This is the type of content I appreciate, the actual workings of the business and pass-time we love.

[@ratzombie]

This is dope! I didn't know they did this, I'll have to go to the next popup event this year.

[@Xavi_oh]

pretty cool to get a super secret warehouse tour! Now you guys have to see if you can tour the Japan one hehe

[@JRPGLife]

Right?! That would be amazing!

[@medmuscle]

I really hope that we get a Mother Collection one day. I wonder if there is anything that would hold that back from coming to fruition.

[@RabbiKrieg]

The biggest thing I noticed about Reid obviously he was really excited to show you around, but when he was talking about the business and size of it, he referred to the people he works with as co-workers, not employees. That coming from the CEO is huge, and tells me all I need to know about him. Also, I really like that you pointed out that a lot of collectors stuff for games can still be bought from FanGamer, and helping direct people from paying a potential hefty mark up, on a used/possibly still sealed items. I have no problem with resellers, but when the item in question is still produced or still in stock, charging someone a major mark up and pretending it is more rare than it is, is disingenuous at best, but also I never heard of Fangamer until I followed your channel, I know I'm just one guy, but look at that you are helping them find new customers, well just one in my case.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for saying so! Yeah, Reid is quite the CEO, and everyone working with him absolutely loves their job

[@RabbiKrieg]

@@JRPGLife I am literally on their site right now, looking at the Metal Gear merch they have, had MGS on my PlayStation, way back in the Day, first game I ever truly fell in love with, but it was quickly followed up by FF9.

[@jamesarthurwrites]

Hi!!! Caleb from PR told me to subscribe! So here I am!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much for being here 😊

[@gavinhenle2873]

That was so cool! Thanks for sharing that awesome experience. Definitely an even bigger fan of fangamer now!

[@Subzeroace]

I'm excited for their release of Little Kitty, Big City! One of my faves from last year ❤

[@JRPGLife]

Great game!

[@Subzeroace]

@@JRPGLife I hope Fangamer makes a plushie of Kitty, like they did of the Stray cat. They belong on a shelf together.

[@sunshinem.7741]

I had no idea who fangamer was until now! What a shame!! How many katamari things could i have connected by now if i had known?!? Genuinely love Reid's attitude about games and the company overall. It's so awesome to see people who stay people and just keep following their passion, finding others who share it, etc.

[@solecollector2296]

Recently had my love for retro games reignited and have been building up my n64 and ps2 collections. I love your videos! Have been watching them everyday for a few weeks and I’m hooked! Keep it up y’all! Love the content ❤

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much for the kind words ☺️

[@carl3035]

Such a great video, and an amazing peek behind the curtain. Thankyou so much ❤️👍

[@BDBD16]

11:25 Strong bad would be very upset! I don't see no boxing gloves!

[@SynFritz]

What an opportunity to see behind the scenes at Fangamer, congrats you two! 😄

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much!

[@dlcgems32]

Super rad!!!

[@secretminiboss]

What an awesome tour!

[@almasplushbin]

This is SO cool!! I'm saving up for a few fangamer plushies and their myst products! It's my favorite game ever 💖

[@nixpix44]

Reid Young strikes an uncanny resemblance, to Ryan from the double jump video games KZbin channel

[@JRPGLife]

He does! Lol

[@outdoorsjoe]

I was thinking the same thing! 😆

[@gbautista100]

Love this type of content. Super cool

[@picori.]

does anyone know what song is in the background at 24:22? loved the tour! made me appreciate the company more than i already did.

[@mjdf122]

JRPGLife back again for another journey

[@BOXERCRAZYBROWNCLOWN]

Great vid !!!

[@JByrd606]

I need Katamari Socks 😆

[@JRPGLife]

EVERYONE NEEDS KATAMARI SOCKS! 😅

[@medmuscle]

An old employee of mine told me about it on PS2. I loved it ever since.

[@JByrd606]

@@medmuscle I had a faint memory of playing it on PS2 as a kid and being kinda weirded out by King, and not having any idea about the control system. Revisited with Damacy Reroll and was sucked in as an adult lmao.

[@LordslongsonIII]

Have you guys ever visited EverChange Video Games in Tucson?

[@JRPGLife]

Yep, and we have made multiple videos about them 😊

[@ArttuTheCat]

Greetings 😺👍🕹️! I just want to say, that you - married retrospective couple 😻😻 - created an excellent retrospective channel 😺👍🕹️. You two deserve a big retrospective like 😺👍🕹️. And most of all, you got yourself a new retrospective channel subscriber from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮 😺👍🕹️. Thank you 😸😺👍.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much for your retrospective support! ☺️

[@ArttuTheCat]

@@JRPGLife No problem 😺👍🕹️.

[@ropesnek]

i wonder if they kept any of the YIIK stuff they did.. it's a shame they cut ties with the developers :(

[@NCSUWolfpacker2010]

I really like a lot of the stuff fangamer has but their shipping is always the buzz kill for me. I’m pretty much stuck to ordering what I want from them in the month of November when they have free shipping. At least their games make it to regular retail.

[@johnbain1251]

What was the record at the start of the video that had the picture of a mech?

[@JRPGLife]

It was Into the Breach 😊

[@SonicSVTFocus]

Now I want to play Earthbound!

[@GameFootageArchive]

There is so much going on in that place I don't know that I would have been able to focus

[@JRPGLife]

Right?! It was a challenge for sure 😅

[@LUMBEEPHENOM2012]

He looks like Ryan from Double Jump Games

[@Dion1622]

I really want a fang plush

[@jonathanbriu]

No way the earthbound dude is the founder of fangamer

[@JRPGLife]

Yep! He's a legend
