Mo Game Con And The Toy Man Toy Show - A Wonderful Nerdy Weekend

[@cooltoy]

Did you see any treasures you liked in this video? Let me know what the coolest thing you saw was in the comments below!

[@nickm9075]

I remember playing it over and over

[@DominusTecum316]

I like that Luke at Hoth ridding the Tan Tan on the light fixture. It reminded me of the father who really loved the lady's leg lamp in the movie A Christmas Story.

[@cooltoy]

the Star Wars lamp was awesome! Even had a lightsaber handle as the lamp post!

[@DoYouNerd]

Wait a sec...we didn't cross paths? For real? Both MoGameCon AND the Toy Man Toy Show!? BTW--cannot agree enough on the surprise of the fair pricing at Toy Man--did not expect that at all.

[@cooltoy]

Do You Nerd? We must have been on opposite sides of both show floors each time. Crazy we never bumped into one another.

[@DominusTecum316]

I came across to your video channel and enjoyed it so far. I like that you keep the language clean so I can enjoy it more and share it with others who also like the content that you and I seem to share. Neat how you play music in the background while you walk the viewer through your video. Also I like how you try to show us the prices on the items. Sometimes the camera went through it fast bit, I hit the button rewind (ten seconds) and when I pause I can make out the prices. Good to see that you stay positive. I am subscribing now.

[@cooltoy]

Comicbook Fan thank you very much for the kind words and support! It means a lot to me. I like to keep my content clean and viewer friendly for all to watch. I’ve got younger family members that tune in all the time and I feel it’s my responsibility to set a good positive example for them.

[@DominusTecum316]

@@cooltoy Parents are the best role models. Yet with your drive, inspiration, and self awareness that kids look up to you. I have no doubt that those you the kids in your family find you to be special to them because I am sure that they have been around other kids' parents. I just dropped off another channel because of the language was too much out of hand. I see you are starting of with you subscribers and I am glad I found you. How long you been with this channel? God bless and thanks for the nice and professional tact when you upload your videos.

[@cooltoy]

I've been uploading regularly for about 13 months now. It's been a very fun and enjoyable experience thus far! Once again, thank you for the feedback!

[@show-me-retro]

It was so cool meeting you at Mogamecon. In all honesty, you were the most approachable and nicest person I met all day. Just a heads up, I did a Mogamecon experience video as well as a pickups video with Retromikey78 and we mentioned how nice a guy and how awesome your channel is. He also will be linking your channel. Glad you had fun in our little town

[@cooltoy]

It was great meeting you as well, I had a blast at the show. Can't wait to check out your guys pickups video when its live. Hopefully you found some cool treasures.

[@show-me-retro]

@@cooltoy Lol, not as much as we'd liked but it was fun and seeing you there was really a surprise. Mike's channel is small but it is growing and it's the first time I've joined him. He talked me into it so it could be cringeworthy. I had absolutely no time to even think what I wanted to say and we ended up talking wayyy too long...oh well

[@cooltoy]

@@show-me-retro as long as you have fun doing the videos that's all that ever matters.

[@josmazgon]

two things caught my eye, the Golden Axe arcade and the GTA2 disc, I spent soooo many hours playing both games...

[@cooltoy]

José Gon the golden axe arcade cab at the show was in great shape, an absolute thing of beauty.

[@fireislandHD]

Great coverage! Love the editing w/ top notch production value!

[@cooltoy]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@daviddeming1916]

Awesome video...looks like u had a blast bro!!

[@cooltoy]

David Deming I absolutely did! It was well worth the several hours spent in the car.

[@brians_games5711]

Yeah man i go to the toyman show all the time cant beat the prices. The show goes on a couple of times a year, every other month i think

[@cooltoy]

brians_games yep, it comes around pretty frequently. I always have bad luck and end up being busy most times and miss it. Luckily I can still typically make it to one or two toy man shows a year.

[@KenzenCrese]

So happy you had fun at MoGameCon. Its a blast seeing people enjoy the show. Hope to see you back next year, I am not a person who runs the show just a volunteer of the show.

[@cooltoy]

It was a wonderful event, I will definitely be back for next year!

[@swissmrkc]

Great to see you at Mogamecon. Ben from videogamedads podcast table. Shane and I were stoked to run into you. Sorry if I seemed like a space cadet when you walked up, meeting a lot of people all day + literally 10 seconds before you walked up, a small group of teenage girls swiped two of my ps4 limited run games from my table :(

[@cooltoy]

Likewise man, great to meet you guys. Sorry to hear about the bratty girls running off with your merchandise. Specially with them being Limited Run games. People are the worst sometimes. Hopefully you guys had a good show otherwise, looked like business was good.

[@swissmrkc]

@@cooltoy yes only a small dent on the weekend, wasn't worth making a scene over $70 was running through my head at the time, didn't know which of three was the one holding the stash. Overall did very well, wonderful weekend with awesome people. Awesome Slim Jim pickup btw 👊

[@RetroTony]

Cool vid.

[@cooltoy]

Retro Tony thanks man, glad you liked it!

[@RetroTony]

@@cooltoy I had a table at Mo game Con this year. I believe I saw you filming.

[@OneMinuteCritic]

Do you edit on FCPX?

[@cooltoy]

yes sir!

[@OneMinuteCritic]

@@cooltoy I KNEW IT. I do my one minute movie reviews on FCPX and just about everything else on Premiere. I find that FCPX is so streamlined that its easier for me to whip out the shorter videos quickly. Do you dabble much in After Effects or Photoshop too?

[@cooltoy]

Yep, I use both of those programs from time to time. I really only use after effects when animating or motion tracking.

[@sergeleon1163]

Cool video of these events. Did you use a special LUT colour grading your video footage at editing? As it looks great and has a vintage vibe to it.

[@cooltoy]

Serge Leon yes, I color grade the footage for all of my videos. Thanks for for noticing, I was specifically going for a nostalgic feel when setting the colors in this video.

[@TelesplashGaming]

I hope to hit Mo Game Con at some point in the next 2 ro 3 years. Looks like a fun Con. Great video man.

[@cooltoy]

it was a super well organized convention, exceptionally well run. You should definitely check it out when you can!

[@nickm9075]

Love the gta2 game!

[@cooltoy]

Nick m the original top down view style grand theft autos still hold up really well by today’s standards I think. The gameplay experience on them is a blast to relive.

[@SignalRidge]

Love that cross-platform NBA JAM strategy guide!!! Lucky duck!

[@cooltoy]

I had to dig through lots of old game magazines and strategy guides (which was super fun) just to find the NBA Jam. It definitely felt like I had unearthed treasure when I saw it in the pile.

[@SignalRidge]

@@cooltoy Too cool!!!

[@Maizan24]

Wow that cher makeup thing was positively horrifying.

[@cooltoy]

Maizan24 it definitely shocked me when I first glanced it 😳

[@nathan-st2br]

I was so focused on the games I missed you and pixal dan. Would of been cool to meet you. I was looking for scud on the saturn didnt see one.

[@cooltoy]

nathan yea man it was sensory overload in there trying to dig through all those games! So much to see

[@StanimalSye]

😎 sweet find, so worth $40 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@cooltoy]

I thought so too. Definitely wasn't the things I expected to walk out of there with, but for $40 I couldn't walk away from the deals or games.

[@christopherlemp]

Dude. I wish I knew you were at Mo Game Con, would’ve said hi to ya, love the channel by the way.

[@cooltoy]

thanks man! Yep, St. Louis is about a 3.5 hour drive for me, so I make it up whenever something like this or other conventions are in the area.

[@christopherlemp]

COOLTOY Well hopefully you’ll be there next year.

[@Shawnredfield98]

Nice pick ups that Macho Man is is so dope.

[@cooltoy]

OOOHHHH YEEEEAAAAHH!

[@menacexp]

wow, the prices look amazing!

[@cooltoy]

the vendors at the show were really good with their prices. None of that "museum pricing" nonsense.

[@menacexp]

@@cooltoy one thing i can't stand is "museum/ebay pricing". If you want to move the merch, lower the prices to a reasonable amount. Great video - i love your channel. I ended up picking up a Soundwave at wal-mart because of your video - i had no idea these were even released ($70 CAD but i'm still pretty happy i got one). Thanks again!!!

[@shotgun161]

I have that same green tv!

[@cooltoy]

Modding Jake the Heineken one?

[@shotgun161]

COOLTOY yeah but it doesn’t say Heineken. It’s the same brand and everything tho

[@cooltoy]

Very cool, I've seen a purple one in the wild before, but nothing like this one. I dig the green color.

[@bcrichmark]

first thing i saw was $770.00 for a virtual boy? i would sell them mine for half that.

[@cooltoy]

bcrichmark I believe this one came with the complete game library

[@GuiOmania]

COOLTOY make more sence i was about to comment about the virtal boy price too lol

[@cooltoy]

Yea I did a double take when I saw it, then noticed the stack of boxed games sitting behind it.

[@StLBillBlack]

Hey CoolToy, appreciate the great video on MoGameCon. Please contact me through the MoGameCon Facebook page and we can get you setup as a featured guest next year, or at least make sure you get full press access.

[@cooltoy]

@Charles Shaw thanks man. I’ll be sure to send you a message on Facebook. Really looking forward to next year!

[@alexh9481]

Damn I really wanted to go to the con and meet you man love your stuff but I had a float trip with friends I’m going next year for sure who was your favorite panel ?

[@cooltoy]

No worries, maybe I'll see you at the show next year. I really enjoyed Norman's panel (The Videogame Historian) I'm really big into the history and details behind the scenes on gaming as a whole, and I really enjoy his work and research that he does.

[@emmanuelledaavila8321]

Do they do this every year ? 😱 I must go Btw love those 90s power rangers drapes in the background

[@christopherlemp]

Emmanuelle Leal this is the 4th year running. Haven’t heard anything about next year yet. But I’m sure it’s going to happen. Join the Facebook group St. Louis Retro Gamers to keep up to date on the info. The guys who run the show are the main group on the page.

[@cooltoy]

👆this. MoGameCon has been going on for several years now. It's the premier retro gaming convention for the state and the area. I highly recommend it.

[@bryanramey2438]

Like the music. Sounds like FM-86 or Timecop1983 or something

[@videogamevegasYeOldeAccount]

CoolToy, You should've picked up the Cher bust! Didn't know that thing existed :) vgv

[@cooltoy]

LOL me either, I did a double take when I first saw it, kinda creeped me out when I saw it over the top of an aisle from a little ways away.

[@videogamevegasYeOldeAccount]

CoolToy, I don't know. I think it would make a perfect topper for the Street Fighter cab during Halloween :) Creepy! vgv
