The BIG RISK at SoCal Gaming Expo!

[@sillygoosevideogames]

The music was amazing. Thank you for taking us on this adventure!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thanks for watching! The tunes really made this video what it is so it was super fun to put together with it.

[@buckregency3842]

1:58 that gba harry potter and phoenix order is ♨️♨️♨️

[@RetrocartCollector]

Nice! Ill have to keep an eye out for it loose to try.

[@gabbothegiver]

So awesome to meet you, my friend, and great video by the way 🎉 what a guy!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thank you brother! It was an honor to get to meet you. You are a true legend my friend!🙌

[@SaturnSteve]

Gabbo I see you trying to throw that NES Hole system up in the air at 6:42 bro 😂😂😂😂

[@WavesNGames]

Dude, the edit at 0:15 in, made me hit subscribe. I already knew this was a banger video from that moment. Congrats on the golf set completion and getting a solid deal on Earthbound.

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thank you so much for subscribing! I’m really glad you thought that and my edit hooked ya in! Hopefully I can keep it up with edits and footage like this one. Thank yo, I’m stoked I was able to get both of those. Earthbound is one I’m excited to play with my bro.

[@PixelGameSquad]

Yeeeeeee!!

[@RetrocartCollector]

🎉🎉🤙🙌 I’m already counting the days till next year!🎉🎉🎉

[@CapnRetro]

The Gargoyles Movie... My Grandma had the VHS. She always had a shelf of random cartoon movies for her grandkids to watch. Currently playing the first game Mother on NES. Having the best time. Playing it on my Ambernic SP.I have been *MISSING OUT,* to say the least.

[@RetrocartCollector]

That’s awesome! I feel like there was a lot of grandma’s that had a stash of movies for the grandkids! Mine had a pile of VHS for us kids to watch. That’s awesome, I’ll have to track the Mother games down! I’m missing out!

[@RussLyman]

Heck yeah so glad we could hang out and hunt together. What a great time for sure. Glad you were able to finally get Earthbound. I still need to play that one. Maybe next once I beat this RPG

[@RetrocartCollector]

It was such a great time hanging out! Can’t wait for the next time we can go hunting together. I was really surprised it was still there when I got home, but totally worth the wait! I also still need to actually play it 😣

[@GamerAhmer]

Woot woot! That’s awesome! Congrats on the addition! Looked like a blast too!

[@RetrocartCollector]

It was a total blast! They put on an amazing show. Thank you! I’m excited for this weekend coming up and to see everyone at SEGE! 🎉🎉

[@RetroGamingPandemic]

All the homies in one video! Let’s gooo!

[@RetrocartCollector]

It was a blast! Stoked for SEGE and all the homies at that one! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Dingalingis]

Great tunes bro. Thanks for listing each track!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thanks man! I hope you can track down the tunes you enjoyed from it.

[@RetroRivals]

That was such a wonderful video!. Makes me miss our time at SEGE last year. Meeting everybody was the best part for sure and I'm not shocked that your local store had a heavy for cheaper. Congrats on adding earthbound to your set!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thank you! Are you going to make it back to SEGE or are you going to hit up another convention? Getting to hang out and meet everyone is always my favorite part too! Thank you, I was a little worried it was going to be gone by the time we got home 😓

[@RetroRivals]

@@RetrocartCollector unfortunately we can't make it to SEGE this year. It was super expensive to get there last year and next year is a bust too because our son is graduating and we're planning a trip to Scotland. Sadly, the next convention will likely be 2026

[@RetrocartCollector]

@@RetroRivals they are pricey to make it to from up here. Dang flights! Those both sound like great reasons to wait till 2026! Hopefully we can run into one another then somewhere!

[@MANNYSARCADE]

Dude the socal gaming expo blues is hitting hard after watching this. Great video brother

[@RetrocartCollector]

I had them the whole time I was editing it man! Can’t wait for next year! Thanks brother that means a lot!

[@GrailboundGaming]

This is so cool! Congrats on adding Shatter Hand and Earth Bound to your personal collection. Btw, the music in this and your other videos are stellar!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thanks man! It was a super fun convention! I’m stoked to have crossed those off my list, now on to the next ones! 🎉 Glad you think that, I really enjoy finding the music for these!

[@thepickinpreacher]

I still think for vlogging videos in this space you are one of the tops.. Channel should be bigger. UNDERRATED FOR SURE

[@RetrocartCollector]

Brother, thank you so much for the kind words. That means so much! I’ll see you in a couple of days man!

[@thepickinpreacher]

@@RetrocartCollector for sure I’m excited!!!

[@Kalamari-contra]

You should go to the retro game con in Syracuse NY! But that’s a long haul from western Canada.

[@RetrocartCollector]

There is talk of me planning for that one next year.

[@bratsmovies17]

I was trying to trade my loose non saving Earthbound at a con once, but no one wanted to risk fixing it

[@RetrocartCollector]

That’s crazy! That seems like a pretty simple fix, they missed out then! That’s too bad they didn’t want to trade for you. I hope you were able to trade it eventually!

[@NerdLife84]

Man that place was pretty big and it looks amazing! Some decent prices on a lot of the games as well. I bet it was awesome getting to meet guys like John Riggs and Retro Rick. Great video

[@RetrocartCollector]

It was amazing, rumor is it might be twice the size next year. The prices were pretty good for a lot of stuff and it was fun to check out how much they had there. They are all really amazing people, totally a blast to be around and spend time with. Thanks my friend!

[@pluspixel]

This is awesome man!❤

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thank you so much! That means so very very much. It was so much fun to be there, SOOO EPIC! Can't wait for next year!

[@RNGGamerYT]

Awesome video, brother!!! It looks like you had a lot of fun at SoCal. I hope to make it out there one day

[@RetrocartCollector]

It was a blast! I’ll make sure to be there when that day comes, brother!!

[@RNGGamerYT]

@@RetrocartCollector I'll do my best!

[@Woodmanclassics]

Great video!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thanks man! Super glad I could get Shatterhand from you my friend!

[@SaturnSteve]

@@RetrocartCollector HEY I also bought Shatterhand from Travis! But he charged me double 🥴 😜 😆 🤣 jkjk

[@PretirementDays]

Wow! I know you had fun

[@RetrocartCollector]

It was so much fun!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@thepickinpreacher]

Bro how often do you get a game cheaper in Canada?!

[@RetrocartCollector]

I seem to get good deals from that store. I think it depends on the store and what you’re looking for. I find I can get more cheaper games down there for cheaper. Higher end ones seem to be cheaper here occasionally. But it seems to depend on the moment.

[@16bitgium]

Subbed🎉🎉🎉. Rock that shatterhand!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thanks for subbing! That means a lot! It's such a cool game! That copy I got was super clean too.

[@jarredkrum9894]

I have that streetfighter rock em and sock em thing lol but they got it overpriced cuz i looked it up few days back and i was seeing it for $100

[@RetrocartCollector]

That's cool you have that! Super neat looking item. Yeah, probably convention priced there LOL

[@SaturnSteve]

Dude… This. Video. Was. SO FREAKING GOOD. Holy smokes!!! GREAT JOB DUDE!!! 🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯😳

[@RetrocartCollector]

🤣 Thank you so much bro! I really appreciate that! 🙌🙌🤙🤙

[@SaturnSteve]

@@RetrocartCollector What an edit!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@thepickinpreacher]

Curtis seems like a real nice guy honestly. Hope to meet him

[@RetrocartCollector]

Curtis is a LEGEND! One of the nicest guys you could ever meet. We got to hang out at the swap meet, he was super kind and was going to go like 30 minutes each direction out of his way to drive me back after. Luckily Twysted was headed my direction, but it was so nice of Curtis to be willing to do that. All just amazing people in general that crew.

[@SaturnSteve]

6:43 Don’t worry if y’all dropped that NES - Gabbo would’ve straight launched that system up in the air anyway bahahaha

[@RetrocartCollector]

Bahahahaha! I’m guessing that would have for sure hit someone this time 😳

[@SaturnSteve]

@@RetrocartCollector 😬😬😬😬😱🥴

[@madness3795]

Enjoyed the video man thank u

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thank you! It was a ton of fun to be there and check it out!

[@madness3795]

Wish I could make it out..but alone ain't fun traveling..I appreciate u doing this video tho

[@RetrocartCollector]

It is worth the trip if you can manage it. With my job I have done a ton of solo traveling in my life. I totally get that solo travel can be tough. Over the year I have gotten so I really enjoy solo travel, mostly based on that I can just go at whatever speed I want and do my own thing as I want to (I'm also like a Mog from Spaceballs, I'm my own best friend LOL). I hope I can bring you along to more conventions through my videos, I will be at SEGE next weekend and will keep that in mind while I film and edit that video!

[@madness3795]

Thanks man that be great.

[@Hot.TubTony_TheCamelCrew]

Great video brother! See you soon.

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thanks brother! I can’t wait to be back there!

[@theusualidiot124]

nice video, looks like it was a blast! glad to be sub #750!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thank you! It was a great time! One of the best conventions I’ve ever been to. Thank you so much for subbing and being number 750! 🎉🎉🎉

[@jarredkrum9894]

Oh my god! I need zombie ate my neighbors i still got my empty box but no game. Game got stolen 😭

[@RetrocartCollector]

That sucks! I had never played it until last week and its super fun. I really hope you can find a replacement copy!

[@WildharpieECW]

wow so much for that game, don't think I could ever pay that much for oen agme but glad I own that game still, I think i still have the box for it, can't remember. But glad you got what you needed. Was this show this weekend?

[@RetrocartCollector]

That’s awesome you own it already! And that’s really cool if you have the box for it that jacks the current price up huge. Complete in box EarthBound is a big money game. It was actually a couple of weekends ago, I’m a little behind on releasing this video.😣

[@PJ-sv4iw]

Earthbound has peaked and is at it's normalized price for years now. It's a great game, as is Mother 3 (GBA). Love Mother 3.

[@RetrocartCollector]

That would be good, it’s a pricey one but from what I have managed to play since getting home it’s a pretty cool game for sure! I’ll have to track down Mother 3 next then! Thank you!

[@CmPuke101_]

Cant wait for you to pick up Hagane!

[@RetrocartCollector]

@@CmPuke101_ hopefully that’s not for a little while and I can save up some funds! 🤯

[@Lopezdrumr17]

Awesome video!! 🔥 I’m so bummed tht I didn’t got a chance to meet you 😭but for sure next time when u come down to Cali we will meet!🤝

[@RetrocartCollector]

Thank you! I’m bummed too, next year we will have to make a game plan to say hi! It was a whirlwind this year!

[@thepickinpreacher]

finally here

[@RetrocartCollector]

Always glad to have ya here brother!

[@djpythonsexotics2704]

Score!

[@RetrocartCollector]

I was pretty stoked!

[@thepickinpreacher]

wait were you born in 1987?!

[@RetrocartCollector]

Nope, 81. Im pretty much ancient 🤣

[@jarredkrum9894]

Id never pay that much for earthbound that game not that great in my opinion but each to their own

[@RetrocartCollector]

It is crazy priced, I'm glad I could save some on it at least. It's one I have never played but I know one of my best friends played it back in the day, I'm excited to get to try it with him and hear his memories. Might make it worth the price tag for me LOL.

[@williamlowe8734]

A couple of years ago I came across a CIB version for about $1100.00. Wish I would've gotten one back in my teenage years when they were piled up for clearance at RadioShack for $15.99. I now see Earthbound CIB going "in good condition" for $3000 - $3500.
