Everyone really liking my sonic hat and one today asked me to do a shoutout to his girlfriend which i never done that before. i was there for about 3 or 4 hours in there and got my good video coming up very soon.

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Ha ha I really hoped you would see my shout out as I remember last year you commented on my vid. Love that you was in the vid at the start and as I left. Sounds like you got some good pickups. Dropped your channel a sub too

[@japanesebrit2018]

@@ComicsAndRetro im hoping to get to 100 subs by the end of 2024 if i get it early then maybe get to 150 if lucky.

[@thechunkybears]

Great vlog and pickups

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Glad you liked the Vlog

[@RetroSteveUK]

The more I see the more I want to go! Cheers .. 👍

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Cheers for checking out both the Vlogs. Deffo try the market and make sure you get early bird tickets as it gets soo busy in there as you would have seen on the vlogs

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@ComicsAndRetro Earlybird is a given. I used to go to the London Film & Comic Con years ago; always got the earlybird tickets back then, but they stopped doing them. The crowds there were getting more and more insane every year. Looks a bit more managable at the London Gaming Market.

[@ComicsAndRetro]

@@RetroSteveUK this June it's opening at 10.30am instead of 11am which is a bonus

[@robg182]

What a store, could spend all day there

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Would love to have a day in London with you and hit this gaming market

[@jamesmassin7982]

45 mins of queuing 😅 oh dear, looks like a good time glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@ComicsAndRetro]

I got there 45 mins early to try to get near the front of the queue.Was lucky we walked straight in when doors opened. It was well worth getting there early as it really backed up as you would have seen on the vlog. Did you go to the market? Cheers for watching the Vlog

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Dropped you a sub too. Will check out your vids

[@gentlemanofgames]

@@ComicsAndRetro no I don't live near London, and don't have to just watched you so know what the crack was 😅🤘

[@RetroSteveUK]

Parachute was the one G&W we had in my childhood home. I've played others since, but that's always been the favourite. Some nice emulated/simulated versions for modern machines, too.

[@ComicsAndRetro]

That's mad that it was the only one you had too. So much fun as a kid

[@Wizbitsrandomgaming]

Cracking video I had a great time on the day Took the time to film every stall on the day on this occasion Subbed 😊

Great Vlog Nick

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Thank you Sue

[@realpinballtv]

The early bird is a must! I would have been climbing up the walls with that queue! Haha. I don’t remember the game and watches at all! The only handhelds I don’t remember in your videos! Loved seeing all of the old game boxes too, like the Gears of war box etc! I’d love to visit one of the next ones! The Pixel art is really nice too! I’d have to grab a piece of that! Also, I made a slight little visit in your video around 17:54, can’t get rid of me! 😂

[@ComicsAndRetro]

You want to know a classic when Lanny watched the Vlog she said I am surprised you didn't mention Pinball in that scene due to the game lol I was too busy looking at Micro Machines a few boxes down lol Cheers for watching

[@realpinballtv]

@@ComicsAndRetro shocking! Haha I don’t know what’s worse, that or the fact you can’t say Pokemon right! 👊🏻

[@ComicsAndRetro]

@@realpinballtv ha ha Lanny had a go at me about that tooooo lol I say it in a lazy way lol

[@roadrunnermjp]

Great vid, it got so busy so quickly and you couldn’t move after 12😅 and 22:44 there I am in the corner of the frame! 👍👍

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Love that you spotted yourself, I look out for myself in these type of Vlogs to. Did you get any pickups there?

[@roadrunnermjp]

@@ComicsAndRetro it was my first one! Seen many on KZbin but never been til yesterday so was a lot to take in. Unfortunately not no, so many great things but no must haves to take off my list. How bout yourself other than the coins?

[@ComicsAndRetro]

@@roadrunnermjp would you go back again in the future or was it a one and done trip? I picked up a Game&Watch game too that I have been after for years

[@roadrunnermjp]

@@ComicsAndRetro oh absolutely go again! I’m planning on going to Oxford next month, believe they had their first one late last year but didn’t go so looking to rectify that. And planning to go back to London again in the summer , I got there about 11:05/10 and was shoulder to shoulder at most booths by 12:30 you couldn’t move without squeezing by someone 😅

[@ComicsAndRetro]

@@roadrunnermjp hate how busy it gets, I am guessing when I come out it was 1 in 1 out ... Will check out the Oxford one be good to try another

[@nigel8uk]

A great watch, reminds me of when i used to go to mcm comic con in London massive crowds 😮 is that market only once a year? Just goes to show how popular retro gaming is these days.

[@ComicsAndRetro]

It's on a few times a year and in different locations. It's in Oxford next month. I agree mad how big retro gaming has got. Cheers for watching

[@Security848]

there are 3 per year in london.

[@jonathanwatkins3389]

Great vid, great market unfortunately due to personal family reasons me and my son missed the London market for the first time in quite a few years. As for man overboard and power drive on the megadrive get them both. Looked a cracking market and hopefully get to meet you at the June 2024 London market. Again great vid cheers Jon 👍👍👍ps I’ve just subbed

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Thank you for watching and for the support. Hope all is well with the family now. Cheers for the heads up on the two games will look out for them. Thank you for the sub and hope to see you there in June

[@MisoRetro]

Glad you got Parachute ❤ you've been after that one for a while 😉

[@ComicsAndRetro]

I actually thought of you when I bought it lol would you ever go to one of these?

[@MisoRetro]

​@ComicsAndRetro Oh yeah, been a few times. Always a good day out 😊

Hello mate! My other half said she heard someone talking behind me at Eds stall 😅. Turned out to be you! Just discovered your channel, mate. It was a great day but absolutely mental and bloody hot lol. Completely agree regarding Ed, what an absolute gent he is.

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Thats mad that it was you!! Thats great lol. Did you pick up anything there? Was wayyyy to hot in there. Cheers for the support

[@andreworourke]

Yeah, I got 2 of Eds blind bags, trying to get a copy of Sonic & Knuckles hidden in there, but no luck 😅. I also got Time Crisis 4 of him and the Mrs got a couple of bits. We ended up with a good haul 👌

Yay you video'd my table at 18.13 (Bygones Games) be good to chat next time! (If I'm not so busy with customers lol)

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Thank you for checking out the Vlog. Hope it went well for you there

[@VirajKathwadia]

@@ComicsAndRetro Well I started doing in July last year, learnt a lot, went again in November and really did well and now again in March, it was my 2nd highest performance even though I was down 25% compares to November which is to be expected. It's tricky finding this stock in condition that is quality that people want to purchase, thats my challenge. However it pays off when people see it and are like oh wow you have one! It gives me a lot of joy doing this and I do it for the fans. (I personally have a day job that works for me so this is a hobby)

[@ComicsAndRetro]

@@VirajKathwadia what a great side hobby! Will definitely look out for you on the next gaming market. Good luck with the business

[@DanielLane-lz3lj]

Doorway on tour England’s best game store

[@micr0wav3_able]

I got one of the late tickets and it got PACKED, can't believe it was that empty in the beginning. Was awesome tho

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Yeah when I come out which you would have seen on the vlog the queue was massive. It's a great day out. You going to the one in June?

[@micr0wav3_able]

@@ComicsAndRetro 100%!! Gonna be awesome, looking for some PS2 stuff this time.

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Hi mate new fan of your channel I also have a Channel Retro Head I also subbed

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Cheers for the support will drop a sub back

[@Security848]

it gets to overcrowded but the people that run the show dont want to pay more for a bigger venue

[@ComicsAndRetro]

Would love it in a bigger venue

[@Security848]

@ComicsAndRetro well said,the other venues they use in other places around the country are bigger but london is more expensive to rent places,but it did get to crowded at one point.

[@matthewbunce3717]

Please help have original 80s games and computers in original boxes

[@AB_538]

I have literally put off going to this for years as i dont see the point of paying for travel and entry to be shoulder to shoulder with people in a conference room fighting for the chance to spend money I probably shouldnt 😂😂
