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!

[@zeldaxter]

That's a real truly friendship ❤️:')

[@jayhall1013]

For my son !!

[@johnromero3320]

I love the relationships all you guys have! So cool to see across all channels from Riggs, Metal Jesus, Gabbo, and Pixel Squad.

[@josebetio]

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)

[@retroricksgamepoint]

so thankful for you my friend!

[@PokeRev]

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 ❤

[@retrorick]

thank you man, you my guy

[@TheOddOddish]

Yooo!! @Pokerev in the house!!

[@kbramlett6877]

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.

[@retrorick]

thank you so much my friend...ive appreciated your support so much over the years!

[@Dave-vz4eb]

@@retrorick long time sub. Love the channel. Congrats. Just curious. What’s the average weekly sales?

[@MrWrightWay]

Congrats Rick. I remembered the day Game Point New location open, its good to see you take it over. Very Happy to see you Blessed.

[@GamePrepper]

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.❤❤❤

[@DaddyGamerFred]

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.

[@robstyle1080]

It warms my heart to see people have great things happen to them. Congratulations once again for this glorious achievement.

[@jarrodpairgin6886]

You should definitely replace the table top section with vintage toys/collectibles. This place is such a vibe. You should be insanely proud of yourself

[@HairyTornado]

That's wild. Congrats man!

[@jayhall1013]

For my son

[@nessuperm9432]

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

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

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!

[@underworld6103]

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 !

[@retrorick]

thank you my friend...if we can make our store even half as good as double jump, we will be in great shape!

[@joshvue2467]

DoubleJump x RetroRick Collab!?.. Been a long time fan of both!

[@retrorick]

[@Fire-Abyss]

@@retrorick I Would love for that collab cause I been watching you both for awhile lol

[@terraaustralia]

My heart is happy that you have this new enterprise! Much love from an Aussie fan!

[@RectWizard]

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

[@retrorick]

it really was so special...i appreciated riff making that edit!

[@guillermoreyes1696]

You know what would be so DOPE … if you take the stuff out the cases by the wall scrolls and put like a virtual boy in there with like a pic or video of a commercial . And So on with the other cases …. I was born in 1996 and is channel always teaches me more about the past. And crazy how you couldn’t save game data on certain game . You would really have to grind . Congratulations again

[@SMALLSandJOE]

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 KZbin, or collect more, or flipping, it's all here and you're at the helm... absolutely crushing it! Love this channel.

[@clevafeatha]

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.

[@JRPGLife]

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 😊

[@patdevine5883]

Let’s go!!!! I hope you know that you now truly have the keys to the next level of retro gaming. What you could accomplish may shape the hobby into the next level that it needs to head into. I believe in you guys. Build it for us.

[@PacketWrangler]

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.

[@nman625]

Wooooow! Now I'm EXTRA glad I visited this place last time came through!

[@veterantrainerhawk2266]

I am so happy for Rick. He deserves all of this for all the work and effort he has put into everything he does. 🤘

[@cam86191]

Amazing dude. I subscribed when you were at 6k subs. It’s awesome to see what you’ve done since then.

[@Turbo_Games_]

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.

[@mattnickless5919]

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!

[@franco__inversor]

⬆️⬆️Hey fan I got some package for you inbox right away to claim your prize 🎁

[@RetroSho]

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!

[@Nehezir]

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.

[@SegaSaturnGamer48]

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! :)

[@echavac01]

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.

[@charlierose3336]

Thank you for the hours of entertainment you have provided me and family, my daughter loves your channel, you have took me back to my childhood, thank you and God bless you and your family!

[@kevinwolff8539]

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!

[@omargh18]

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!

[@onetwo6039]

Glad to see someone working hard to keep the past alive !!!! I love the 90's.

[@Swipa83]

Congratulations on the store!!! It's my dream to one day have my own retro game store. I found your channel and I've been watching your content to get pointers!!!

[@GamingChiliHedgehog]

The fact that this is partially a museum/exhibit puts a smile on my face. So happy for you Rick! :D

[@craigpowell3307]

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. 👍🏻

[@howtobeahumanthetutorialpa2105]

Congratulations Rick! You’re a great guy and deserve the store and more. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@tronderiksen3866]

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 👏 🥳🥳

[@TheRetroWorld]

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!

[@retrorick]

come on man...would love to have you!

[@tonylenzi166]

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

[@vglegends9004]

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!

[@BAM5636]

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.

[@drnintendo5247]

Congrats on the store man! Big fan. Would love to see vintage toys instead of board games! I have a small TMNT collection myself, and love seeing them displayed!

[@shockycbs]

Congrats Man, your channel and a few others has been a constant source of inspiration in my resale and collecting journeys.

[@dcjrsrt10]

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.

[@paulmason3328]

And look at you now! You’ve done so much with that store today. It looks even more amazing now

[@tripps_on_knives]

seriously was not expecting to see a retro rick video in my town. considering my entire state only has like 3 game stores total. and only like 2 have retro games.

[@HammeR6.5]

My opinion, You need a lounge area! A place where people can come in and relax and play on their handhelds or maybe set up a few TV's to hook up retro game systems. That would be cool. Congrats Rick this is a collectors dream and you've achieved it!

[@arlingboddy4013]

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.

[@jorgerag47]

a BIG CONGRATULATIONS and a GREAT FUTURE!!! where is your game store located exactly??

[@RobbieDMusic]

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.

[@mightymaxx1]

This is great. So happy for you Rick. I am very excited to see you make this our own. With that said RIP another place to buy good board games :( ...lol

[@NZmyBackyard]

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!

[@stivender03]

The coolest thing about your store is the size. It is so tall and makes it seem more alive, I suppose, less cramped. It is sick. If it was me, I'd add, if possible, a action figure/toy section.

[@abogangstertattoo6199]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can see the Passion you have for it. I know you'll do great!!!! Hope to visit your store one day!!

[@fayetalg]

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!!!!

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

So excited for you! Pumped to see all the amazing things that will happen in this place

[@elvisthegamecollector7053]

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 KZbinrs, play some retro games as a "Game Off"... The possibilities are endless!

[@TayTay77501]

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.

[@R2akaThuNDaChiCkeN]

That is an amazing store!! I would keep the boardgames because they are growing in popularity but then again...it is your store. You can make more space by stacking the games vertically side by side like books. Should open up a lot of space for the retro toys. Either way, just do what brings you joy. Excited to see what you do with the store!

[@jensherbert1]

Talk about making your dreams come true! Congratulations Rick!

[@VileMenthol]

helped the original owner, Craig, set this place up with my buddy Aaron back when they first opened. so glad to see this getting some exposure after all these years! the atmosphere has always been IMMACULATE in this place!

[@bdillmore40]

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!!!!

[@indigomontoya22]

Love seeing the passion put into this. Thank you for sharing your journey and looking forward to more great content and memories.

[@KazzFanglette]

I am so so happy for you Retro Rick. You are one of the most honest and wholesome people on KZbin 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. :)

[@darkinuyasha06]

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.

[@schaeffercarroll6070]

I remember finding your retro page on Instagram then you made a story “hey starting a KZbin channel come check it out” now a huge game store! What a journey,good shit happening to good people love it 🤘🤘(get rid of the board games lol)

[@leonerd3678]

I remember watching your first videos and now you have your own Game Store. Dreams come true!

[@stefan8303]

What I love about the store is it isn't just your generic store filled dwith loads of games. It feels more like a huge version of a home games room. All the statues and other touches are what makes the difference and show that you're passionate to the customer. Personally I'd keep the board games, or scale down. Put in tmnt and other retro as it's your passion, but be careful not to become a toy store. Also if possible change up the museum section and the statues a bit a couple of times a year to get people to keep coming back, maybe even throw in a few pinball machines. Can't wait to see how things evolve and best of luck with everything.

[@ToiletClogger1945]

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

[@lukebr0wn89]

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 🙏

[@saikoyama]

Congrats! This store in particular looks incredible. Would love to visit someday.

[@nightwish6388]

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!

[@vonny10096]

Instead of spotting treasures at flea markets and saying "i dont have the room for it on my shelves" you can say.. "i can sell it at the store", or if you love it you can display it in the office/studio space you create. I bet your brain is buzzing with all the vlogging opportunities this store will give you. Well done.

[@GeneralRoshambo]

I'm proud of you Rick. You did it, and deserve all the great things that will be coming your way!

[@davidpallotti4502]

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.

[@HoshiChiri]

I really hope I can come see your store someday- it seems nicer than a lot of what's near me (and I'm up in MJR's turf!) Also- KEEP THE BOARD GAMES! Maybe cut back if you want to fit in some retro collectibles, but me & my friends play tabletop just as much as we have our controllers out. It's worth having!

[@sheepish-]

I actually live in the town where this GamePoint is located and it’s my absolute favorite place to go!! I’ve been going here ever since I was a kid, really glad to see it get some love and attention, will def have to stop by a lot more

[@paulwilliams5500]

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!

[@PercyHammer1]

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!

[@Der-GANZMACHER]

A DREAM COME TRUE! CONGRATS

[@ewetube8003]

Had me tearing up big time 😭 but happy tears. Congrats, it's great to see good things happen to good people. Hope you can continue to dedicate yourself to the channel and look forward to following the journey

That's probably the cleanest, most well organized game store I've ever seen. I need one like that in my area.

[@Siouxpreme1979]

When Riff said 3 years I was like what it's been that long already? I remember when your channel had like 3k subs and your content was phenomenal for such a young channel. Keep up the great work Rick I hope I get to travel to see your store soon!

[@j.w.mcdannell1801]

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.

[@angelamccafferty1506]

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 🤩

[@tylerpoole9957]

I’m from Conway and been going to gamepoint since it open they by far give you more money then any other store for your trade the people who owned it before are such wonderful people and I’m glad they chose a great person who cares about the stuff to take over as well I can confirm that since Rick took over the store has been in great hands and it’s only getting better ever day

[@Jehrid]

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 :)

[@red5films529]

Congratulations! When Riff gave his little speech at the end I legit had to check who started cutting onions… for your out of state fans is there a website for your store that we can shop at? Would love to support you and your store for my gaming needs from Cali!

[@lightpsychlone]

So happy for you, this is a super awesome opportunity! 100% definitely replace all those new board games section with multiple rows of shelves of all the vintage/retro toys and collectibles that you find. A real life, non faked retail store channel with real buying/selling and trading with stuff available that you find in your videos would be very interesting, taking the channel to a whole 'nother live level. Keep up the great work.

[@TechFanChris516]

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 KZbin channel, but also through the store. Good luck, man!

[@xPublicOutcryx]

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!
