Hi, Im currently looking at copies of Tekken Death By Degrees. Just curious if anyone knows if a Spanish copy of the game can be played on s UK ps2 slim console and can i select the language i plsy the game in?
@@mistaken_stranger8343 i only have the pal uk version in my collection otherwise I could check for you
@DanTheGamesMan Thank you for replying. Really enjoying your content.
@ thank you for watching!
Some great pickups 👌👌👌👌
Thanks mate was a great day!
Some good ones there, not sure about the grab bag though..
Thanks, that’s the nature of grab bags, you never know what your going to get
Rad pickups, the highlight is the Blind Bag you got from Ed(yes I saw the video, that was a great video). Another great video is this one right here 👍🏼😎👍🏼🕹🎮🍻
Thank you glad you enjoyed it! Always great to see Ed as well, he always seems to have exactly what I want for sale
@DanTheGamesMan 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Great event! On the hunt for every wrestling game ever created, do you own (N64) WWF No Mercy? The greatest wrestling game ever. Give me WWE ‘12.
@@SupplementSteve214 yeah it was amazing! Of course I do, and agreed still the best wrestling game to date, just…
@ What in your opinion comes close ?
@@SupplementSteve214 last years 2k 24 was VERY good and a lot of fun, best wrestling game in years
Great stuff as always. Have you seen there is another gaming market in our fine city of Norwich in April. Looking forward to seeing your wrestling game collection
@@Glenn_Norris thanks! Yeah it seems we’re getting spoiled here in Norwich in 2025, I’ll do a wrestling collection update video soon!
I picked up road to wrestlemania for GBA at Leeds, hasn’t aged well😂 GIVE ME WWE12
Been a while since I played that one, I think I got it in a bundle when I first got my GBA from Toys R Us!
Great video as usual - Gimme WWE12
Thank you! Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing. Leeds was my first gaming market. 😎 Quick tip - (I drove up Saturday from N Cambs) rooms in the adjoining Holiday Inn were around £110 inc buffet breakfast and £5 overnight parking.
Thanks for the tip, hope you enjoyed your first gaming market! It’s often harder for me to travel the day before as it’s hard enough to get the day off for it, makes it a long day but needs must!
Great video dan and great pick ups, I was at Leeds myself but didn't get the early tickets but me and my son had a awesome day. GIVE ME WWE 12
Glad you had a good day! I always try and get early bird when I can but they seem to sell out very quickly now!
Good vlog m8 with some good pick ups 👍
@@Stevirobbo thanks, yeah I’m always happy when I get to add a new 32x game to the collection!
great video really enjoyed it dan keep um coming really looking forward to this years platinum project vids (give me wwe 12 )
Thank you! Don’t worry you don’t have long to wait for the next Platinum Project video as it’s coming next Saturday!
Let’s be honest, there were not any bangers in that blind bag 😬 32x - do you own the console?
I didn’t own a 32x yet…. But I do have a plan to pick one up very soon!
Nice pickups Dan, I'm shocked you didn't grab those cheap steelbooks haha
Yeah it was a tough call but I was holding out for that must have item this time and I think the waiting paid off
@@DanTheGamesMan I love SeGA, I wish they still made consoles XD I cant bring myself to collect for them though the prices are too much, same with the SNES its a shame really. That Turtles game was £450 bro haha, its on the cowabunga collection on switch for like £20. Its why I only really collect for Switch right now, I'm simply not rich enough for the 90s era stuff :(
@ yeah imagine what Sega consoles would be like now in 2025. Prices can be hard and agreed a lot of the stuff is going up in price in a crazy way, Turtles in Time is a game I will own one day and will probably be the most expensive game I’ll ever own simply because it’s on of my favourite games ever and I love TMNT lol
@ We all have those games we have to own, I shelled out £200 for Fire Emblem Path of Radiance last year because FE is one of my favourite series. Not sure I'd go much beyond that though lol Since Xbox has given up perhaps Sega should dip their toes in hardware again lol
@ imagine Xbox bow out and Sega return! Yeah I already have a copy of it loose so it’s a case of grabbing it CIB, right place right time right price and it will be mine!
You’ll find a blind bag from ED I bet you all my collection Dan 😂
Haha turns out your collection is safe lol
@ Winner winner chicken dinner dude 😂💪
@@ED-209-8K haha
I got the dialga
@@kookidough7991 nice! This is my only decent pull so far lol
You don’t need Pokémon gold for the GameBoy colour you can ship it my way thanks
@@ryujigoda3445 haha once games enter the collection they very rarely leave lol
@ 😂
Ps5 pro Controller
@JoaniLouisHai I need it is and what a good looking controller it is!
The gears of war 2 is a steelbook edition
@@bornGmE one I already had in my collection
Thank you so much for visiting Edgware! I’m happy you noticed our delicate collectors on display behind the tills! Hope to see you again!
Thank you! I really enjoyed my visit and you had some awesome treasures hiding behind the counter!
I got bioshock in like new condition but i got my copy off ebay years ago most steelbooks these days in cex are badly scratched and in my cex are rare unfortunately
Yeah it’s definitely getting harder to find steelbooks in decent condition as also it seems a lot are made of easily scratched material also
This looks ace
@@mancman-bu4kz yeah it’s a really nice collectors edition
Hey Dan, it's been a while since I've watched your videos. Sweet Jurassic Park unboxing, cool stuff you got there. Fantastic video as always 👍🏼 😎👍🏼🕹🎮🍻
Welcome back and glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
@DanTheGamesMan 🤜🏼🤛🏼
needs more dinosaurs lol,worth the wait brother
lol there can never be enough dinosaurs
That is total class, what a wicked collectors edition. It was a pleasure to meet you at the Leeds market, Really nice bloke 👌
Thank you! That was a great day wasn’t it! Yeah it’s a wicked collectors edition, one of my favourites now of the collection
I got like 90 steelbooks now
@@bornGmE wow that’s an awesome collection!
Bro that is absolutely fantastic Child hood here,A would love something Terminator Robocop from Limited Run Nice video bro
@@chris19873 thanks! A terminator collection would be amazing as there was so many good 16 bit Terminator / Robocop games!
That is such a cool collection dan love the content mate
Thank you, yeah this is super cool, such a great collection and collectors edition!
I have been loving all these old collections on Switch recently. I pre-ordered the Capcom fighting collection 2 yesterday. Limited Run get a lot of bad press but I'm glad someone out there is doing things like this, I know they operate on FOMO but its better than these games never getting another release and stuck on the old systems. I have 4 or 5 games waiting for delivery, wish they would hurry up haha
@@TheRealSlimsagey7 yeah I always seem to have 3/4 I’m waiting for also lol. Yeah they do get a lot of bad press but I’ve never had any trouble with them thankfully. Yeah the fomo can be hard but this one I just couldn’t miss!
@@DanTheGamesMan They give you like 6 weeks to order a game and so as long as you check their website every now and then you shouldn't miss out. The collectors editions are pricey but they are very above and beyond most collectors editions you get elsewhere. The days of going into CEX and buying 5 games for a tenner are coming to an end, so many people buy digitally therefore companys are doing small print runs in general so there is not going to be loads of second hand physical games in the wild for current gen consoles. If you want to avoid disappointment, physical collectors have to get on board buying new in some cases
@ yeah I always keep an eye on the Limited Run website, as it’s very rare that I miss one because of that six week window which I enjoy. I agree when it comes to beer gen such at the PS5 and Xbox Series games there is going to be a lot less physical games in the wild for collectors in the future, let alone now.
Good vid m8 and a really nice boxset just disapointed in Nintendo itself not putting this out as a switch exclusive, I don't really like limited run games and to me they are a low brow company just borderline of rip me off city but they did a good job with that set and if it makes everyone happy to own this set then that's what counts 😊 looking to what loveliness you show us next time ... Have fun in Jarassic park haha😊
Yeah I think a lot of companies now won’t take the risk with expensive collectors editions and this is why Limited Run end up doing them. Least you can always enjoy me opening them lol
@DanTheGamesMan I can haha
@ I literally got another delivered the day I filmed the is haha
@DanTheGamesMan haha nice one
@@Stevirobbo so keep an eye out for that lol
Those framed carts are really cool!
They’re really nice ain’t they!
You been to telford cex yet bud??
@@bornGmE I haven’t yet, what’s it like?
As much as they weren’t that good I’d be all over Kenner and RoboCop and the Ultra police! I didn’t see them there though 😢
There was so many toy lines there I’ve never seen before and the stock is constantly changing.
@ Yea I could see dude I’ll have to really look into a place that stocks those figures it’s quite niche
@ good luck with the hunt!
@@DanTheGamesMan I wish we had yard sales here way more fun let’s all move to the states 😂
@ yeah I wish we did also, we did have a few in my area but they never really took off
The hair, beard and tattoos suck!! Trash look 😆
The 1st Bubsy game for me. Panned by reviewers but I enjoyed it when I played it.
@@dannyhtheretrogamingmaster9548 I played it back in the day and I enjoyed it, maybe I’ll have to revisit it now lol
The bad guy should have been Johnny Gat. Would have been an interesting angle for the character and breaking him out of prison could have been mirrored in a reprise of the SR2 jail break intro. Two enemies growing a bromance repeatedly constantly breaking each other out of jail would have been fun
@@harryallsopp9136 that’s a really good shout, but then I reckon a lot of people would have routed for him lol
@DanTheGamesMan at first absolutely, and it'd make them feel like more of a sellout for arresting him but then when he tries to take over it'd have been more impactful than it was with The Nahualli (had to look up his name) and his redemption as a Saint in a potential sequel could have been a huge selling point. In the opening arrest mission I just randomly thought "this would have been a cool introduction for Johnny but maybe this guy will be equally good" and then as the game went on I couldn't get past how much that one change would have the game feel like more of a roller-coaster for long time fans
@ yeah I think the weakest part of this game is the story and the fact the characters are so unlikeable lol, it would of really helped to have had some of the old characters like you said.
Aint worth 8 quid
I think it ain’t to bad for that, surprised it’s not on Gamespass tbh
I noticed they have plenty of vinyl records, do you know the genre of music they are selling ?
I must have totally missed them sorry, or where they the comics as they store them in vinyl racks?
@ Looking again they are comics.
@ yeah they had thousands!
Brother you just listed everything that is bad about the game without saying what’s actually fun about it
Haha yeah my bad, it’s basically more Saints Row which can never be a bad thing!
Looks a great shop. So the Kenner 'Aliens' line was based on a never released cartoon.
@@thekingofoldskool2 it was amazing! I never knew that! It would have made an amazing Saturday morning cartoon!
There would have been a Kenner 'Judge Dredd'' 1995 toy line as well - however the film released as a 15/R rating. As a result Kenner cancelled the line. I can imagine they would have been incredible.
@ that sounds amazing as well, so many missed opportunities sadly
@@DanTheGamesMan Kenner were the best. I still remember the figures I have from Batman: The Animated Series, Legends of Batman, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Star Wars: The Power of the Force and Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace toylines....
@ yeah in the mid 90s they seemed to make all the best toys for all the best franchises, sadly it seemed after JP The Lost World it was all downhill….
Hey @DanTheGamesMan. Cracking start and looking forward to the series. Have a question if you don't mind? I'm just putting together my own game room and I'm due to start putting out my game soon. I'm a little concerned about the amount of sunlight in the room and possible fading, particularly my boxed consoles. Do you have any suggestions? I was looking at some UV film on Amazon, just not sure if it would cut the mustard? TIA
@@rorschach766 thank you! Yeah off to a good start in this new challenge, but this is just the beginning! I’ve had my gamesroom for around 5 years now and I just use curtains and keep them closed most of time, not the most high tech answer but it works lol
Loving that gaff, looks amazing
@@mancman-bu4kz it really is, well worth a visit!
Why call it a gaff?! 🤔
Great first episode. My choice for collecting/keeping for only one console ever would unanimously be the SNES. The greatest library of quality games in videogame history. No patches, updates needed to play.
@@SupplementSteve214 thank you! That’s a really good choice and that’s on of the best thing about retro gaming, plug and play, no updates no patches just gaming within seconds
Ah it's a toxic plastic fire trap shop
My favourite kind!
This place looks so cool. After speaking to you last week just wondered which version of Wwe 2k25 you are going to get.
Honestly it’s difficult to do it justice! I’m going for the basic version, as tempting as the Bloodline edition is it’s a lot for just digital content, I miss the only 2K collectors editions…
@DanTheGamesMan I think I'm going for the Deadman edition partly because it comes out a week early and I have that week off work. Don't like not having the physical however I think I will get the standard edition as well when it goes on sale
@ yeah the opportunity to play a week was tempting I must admit
By the title I assumed you had been to Geek World at Stoke On Trent. But this place is not bad either I guess
@@geekworlduk1 I’m guessing I need to pay Geek World a visit lol, any excuse for a road trip!
I really injoyed todays episode alot of toys i would be interested in , great fall out pick up matey. Well done on the podcast too
Thank you, it’s nice to change it up once in a while with a toy hunt also, and this place takes a lot to beat!
Man yeah I must have about 30 funkos in my garage, they just aren't that cool anymore IMO. I have gone back to proper 1/7 statues on display personally. They are obviously more expensive and I have way less of them but I actually think it makes the space look far less cluttered and just in general better to look at
Yeah I think it works better with more focal pieces like large statues, but then again I rotate my display periodically also. Yeah I think the time of Funkos has long passed…
@DanTheGamesMan I always struggle with whether to take things out of the box or not, I have all the Zelda Amiibo unboxed because I want to use them, but also i know I devalued them all by doing that haha. So I only buy things I intend to keep long term but mostly all my figures is on display unboxed, mainly because for me I could just print off the box art for free if thats what I wanted to display lol but I understand why you hunt those see through boxes Amiibos are sort of annoying actually as you cant really put them back in. All my statues boxes are stored away and can be put back in if needed
@ yeah amiibos are a tough one as they look really good boxed, but I think even better loose but then of course they lose a lot of value. It’s strange as I know I’ll never sell any of my bits but I just hate opening them knowing I’ll devalue them, does that sound weird?
@@DanTheGamesManNa of course not, I think everyone should collect however they want. Personally I like being able to see my figures without all the carboard and plastic obscuring it but I sacrificed their value unsealing them. I guess for me I have no intention of selling my Street Fighter and Dark Stalkers figures for example, so devaluing them doesnt matter too much to me and I can enjoy them more outside of the box. I did however open the boxes with laser precision to ensure no tears or rips occurred and stored them in air tight containers lol I can put them back in if I ever need to, they wont be brand new but still retain most of the value I guess But again I dont think there is a wrong way of doing it, everyone should weigh the pros and cons and do whats best for them The amiibos are a lost cause, they will just be forever unboxed value now haha but they are part of my Zelda shrine so no intention at all of selling them.
@ yeah exactly everyone collects differently and that’s why I love seeing other people’s collections. I do hate boxes where you can’t see the figure at all mind you, they suck and this will actively put me off buying the figure due to this reason.
