You'd be blown away by the amount of retro game shops we have here. There a few in my area that sell hundreds and hundreds of both boxed and loose gameboy games, plus equally as much for N64, PS1, etc. Super Famicoms for 10$, mint N64s for 100$, etc. So much fun to browse

Dragon Quest is huge in Japan. It has a small following in the US as well, but nothing like in Japan.

[@mrbisshie]

Japan pretty much treats Dragon Quest like we treat Final Fantasy in the west.

[@Picobits]

That watch is kinda funky, should wear it in videos

[@InquisitiveRavenclaw]

Wow, awesome collection! Fun fact about those Mario pins: They were a Platinum status reward from Club Nintendo back in 2011. I actually have a set myself I got from the program! At the time I gave some of the pins to my little sister, too. Unfortunately she passed away some years ago. While my family was cleaning out her room some time after, they found the Blooper pin from the set and gave it to me. It was dented, but she still held onto it all these years. I put it on my favorite jacket to remember her by.

[@DawsonsMemes]

He probably has his on air sign on while he’s not recording

[@Middcore]

You take that back!

[@iamanidiotbut5523]

Awesome. Very cool to see you open this. I love opening packages like this. It’s awesome to see how much cool shit you can get now for your collection because of your videos. It shows that you really enjoy collecting these gameboys :)

[@jawesome59]

I wouldnt be mad if you showed more watches on the channel, particularly japanese watches like seiko and orient

[@Phantom77_]

I love your channel because it reminds of the 90s, its great to take those items that were greater than the ones we have now and repair and modify it

[@noahnoah5454]

Would be nice if Sendico would tell the shipping cost before buying

[@shanehagerty5393]

It would be nice but they can't without knowing the weight of the item :/

[@noahnoah5454]

Shane Hagerty well the seller of the item coule provide the weight

[@shanehagerty5393]

@@noahnoah5454 they normally do, but Sendico is a proxy service so they don't have access to that info until the item arrives. They include a shipping calculator on the site for when the seller provides the weight tho

[@finnwheetley7353]

Somehow every 10 dollar order ends up being 50 by the time Sendico is done.

[@kamikawzmik8641]

At first they charge you like $5 and then they keep charging you. My bro was charged $50 even tho there was no disclaimer

[@beachbaIIs]

My question is How on earth did they loose that massive parcel

[@Greigames]

Usually it’s just logged in the system incorrectly or they don’t check and throw it on the wrong truck

[@kwikemart1977]

man i haven't had a game boy since the early 2000's but looking at these it makes want to buy one again

[@Kraust]

* shows what is obviously 2 Dragon Quest games "I don't know what these are" ?????

[@Ill_look_back_on_in_disgust]

I kinda cringed. To be fair very expensive English games not very expensive Japanese games.

[@novaspacewitch9963]

3 if you count Dragon Quest Monsters earlier in the video

[@Xalusc]

It even says "DRAGON QUEST" in plain, good English on the back of the box, too

[@gaiadove]

Yes, almost lost my mind when he said he didn’t know what the games were...

[@mrbisshie]

I was pretty surprised when he didn't recognize Dragon Quest. Without even reading the box name, I pretty much knew it was a Dragon Quest game, and I only played DQ 11 and DQ builders 2. lol I guess he was really overwhelmed.

[@arisamisaki212]

As a Japanese, I didn’t even know there are so many accessories to Game Boy 😂

[@Danny.._]

7:57 that's Dragon Quest Monsters, a spin-off from Dragon Quest where you can collect monsters and add them to your team. it was seen as a pokemon clone in the west so it didn't do too well here.

[@boktor666]

So basically, in order to kinda win in collecting, all I have to do is make a youtube channel, get sponsored and get sponsored boxes to my doorstep. If only it were that easy, barely holding 100 followers on instagram with my gameboy stuff! (I kid, I kid). Good stuff Elliot, love your vid. It was some real cool stuff. Never knew these gameboy accesories in the boxes existed. Something new to hunt down!
