Rick, it has been quite the journey following your channel over the years. You went from hunting flea markets with Cary, Tommy & Chuck, to having them run expo booths for you, to opening a massive store, to getting major sponsorships, and now your own full length infomercial. Amazing dude. i remember when you were bummed if games were over $2 🤣 So crazy how much has changed in the collecting community in such a relatively short amount of time. Looking forward to many more!
I’m the employee that sold him the two games at the last vintage stock. Def come check it out and come buy stuff from us and talk video games if you’re ever around Fayetteville Arkansas!
Yeah he's into pokemon, power rangers, cartoonish games that look to be designed for younger kids , thinks Nintendo made the best systems and is wearing a 3rd eye blind shirt. I enjoy the channel but it's hard to relate honestly quite often. Age gap I guess. Good for him. He likes what he likes.
Great grabs fellas. The super puzzle fighter is the biggest get for me. Those vintage stock stores are really nice looking, I've never seen or heard of them. 🤟🤙🤘
It’s kind of cool seeing this guy with hundreds of thousands of views going to stores I grew up in. I grew up in Rogers and moved to Conway with my wife. I’ve been going to that vintage stock since I was 11 and was going to game point before he bought it.
I remember my mom buying me that same black label on clearance for my bday, her not knowing anything about RPGs I had my doubts. Turned into one of my all time favs and I have been saying it so wrong for almost 30 years. Never knew
There are 3 Vintage Stock (V-Stock) stores in the Greater St Louis area. One in St. Peters MO., one in Chesterfield MO, and one in what is known as South County MO. Also, there are 2 in Joplin, MO.
As soon as I started watching this video (only the second I've viewed on your channel) I immediately wondered if you were going to find a Castlevania game. The N64 Castlevania titles were my favorites growing up.
Disclosure these are all located in Rogers Arkansas NOT Fayetteville...I live here...wish I can make it to Conway to see your store...new to channel and LOVE IT...BIGG KRIS aka BK
People may be saving for the spiritual successor to Suikoden called "Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes" releasing on April 23rd 2024. It was a Kickstarter game that had huge funding success, but the best part is that its being directed and produced by Yoshitaka Murayama who created Suikoden.
I wouldn't call those grails if they fairly are easy to find. All solid games but if all fairly easy to find they arent a grail in my opinion. A grail in my opinion need to difficult to find uncommon and low print or manufacturer run.
Rick, I laughed my ass off when I heard you say Suikoden. You are the only one I've heard pronounce it that way. The correct pronunciation of Suikoden is "Psy-koden."
Hey retro rick love your channel you do great gaming videos also I got donkey Kong 64 for my 64 yesterday I got the 64 on Monday and got new games for it yesterday nice pick bro😁👍🏼
Maybe the only grail in the video, price wise, doesn’t even get mentioned (Although I don’t know why anybody would want it). Color a Dinosaur in the Box.
I recently ordered a CIB Suikoden II to finish my North American Suikoden collection. Now I just need the card game for GBA and I will have all the Japanese games that weren't released here.
Looking for rare games is more accurate. A grail to me is an Action Comics 1 or if you want it to be video game related, Stadium Events. Just saying. Not hating I just feel like the term grail is just getting overused these days.
'i have a manual at home" you probably do, but it won't belong to that version of the box i bet. so you just end up with mismatched pieces, terrible way of collecting.
Hello @RetroRick i love your channels, i love the whatnot too but because im in another country, i never know the exact time you re gonna be there. Can you put a countdown somewhere? It would be nice for everyone who doesnt live in the US like me but have someone who can receive the games and then send them to me later. Thanks a lot, keep growing, have a great day !
Come hang out on February 29th @ 6pm on Whatnot for our Giveaway show! Use this link to get $10 to spend for FREE! whatnot.com/invite/retrorick
I used to have 17 psp
What time on the 29th??

I miss Tommy Nitro 😢

Just heard Rick say, "...I don't like Star Wars..." and now I'm questioning everything.
🗑
me too... bummer😒
When I heard that, I was like, "UNSUB"....but I'll give him a second chance
Sorry dawg. Getting the downvote for that slippage

Watching this has made me realize the term grail/grails means absolutely nothing.
Exactly my thought.
I agree
A Grail is a personal thing. One man's grail is another mans trash.
@@smithmr1 none of those were picked up here. They were picked up for a Whatnot auction. A big ticket item does not always equate to being a "grail".
the term is really what the individual desires.
I loved it when you spoke to the lady in the thumbnail. She's awesome! 😂
I'm always amazed at the amount of stock these stores have ...

There’s NO better feeling than finding a Gaming Grail. I love the hunt 🇬🇧❤️ We all do right?!
Dam just realized that I won one of the games featured on this on your Whatnot tonight. That’s pretty sweet. Thanks for what you do Rick.
Ricks turning into Richard Simmons
Props on saying the title "Suikoden" correctly! The creator passed away recently so seeing that game gives me feels.
I remember my mom buying me that same black label on clearance for my bday, her not knowing anything about RPGs I had my doubts. Turned into one of my all time favs and I have been saying it so wrong for almost 30 years. Never knew
It's pronounced Sui-skro-dem
Got the pleasure of running into y'all while you were filming this.
Awesome video 😊
Hell yeah, you're in my area. Welcome to the neighborhood! There's a Game Xchange in Van Buren, Ar. as well.
So many cool stores!
Baby park mesmerized Rick. 😂
That third eye blind t shirt is so so dope. So jealous.
Gotta collect em all
Omg I lost it @10:08 🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀
mario dance rmx 😁
As someone that also lives in arkansas Vintage Stocks are pretty cool I bought my copy of Epic Mickey there!
There are 3 Vintage Stock (V-Stock) stores in the Greater St Louis area. One in St. Peters MO., one in Chesterfield MO, and one in what is known as South County MO. Also, there are 2 in Joplin, MO.
Awesome thanks for sharing dude
Excellent video Rick
Great hunt, keep finding those grails!
Oh wow. I remember that NES Castlevania game. I loved it.
I live right next to Crested Butte, Colorado. Always makes me smile to see Michael's CB shirt!
"Grail" is the most overused word ever on this channel... but I don't even care. Just fun to watch! =)
3:56
Should’ve got this for Riff. You KNOW he loves Bow Biters…
man, when I live in Joplin mo I love going to vintage stock. a great store today they don't have them here in Utah
you have alot of cool vintage shirts come through your channel...this third eye blind might just be the best!!!
that zelda "insert" is the map!! cmon Rick!! lol
As soon as I started watching this video (only the second I've viewed on your channel) I immediately wondered if you were going to find a Castlevania game. The N64 Castlevania titles were my favorites growing up.
Crypto Rick back at it again with another video boys!!!
Love the Third Eye Blind shirt

I got the chance to go to these sores a couple years ago. They were amazing

People may be saving for it??
What do you mean saving for it haha?
Also, isn't that game launching on Game Pass day one?
I wouldn't call those grails if they fairly are easy to find. All solid games but if all fairly easy to find they arent a grail in my opinion. A grail in my opinion need to difficult to find uncommon and low print or manufacturer run.
Well that’s just like your opinion man
@@Teadrinker710and?
you totally bypassed the door with the full size TARDIS
Rick, I laughed my ass off when I heard you say Suikoden. You are the only one I've heard pronounce it that way. The correct pronunciation of Suikoden is "Psy-koden."
There is video game retro store around my home in downtown savannah, GA that has the same Pikachu and i believe it is for sale.
No lie, the real gem in this video is that 3EB shirt...
Hey retro rick love your channel you do great gaming videos also I got donkey Kong 64 for my 64 yesterday I got the 64 on Monday and got new games for it yesterday nice pick bro😁👍🏼
I’m the weird guy that actually really likes Castlevania 64
Maybe the only grail in the video, price wise, doesn’t even get mentioned (Although I don’t know why anybody would want it). Color a Dinosaur in the Box.
4:29 Super Robot Taisen OG Saga DS. Passes it right by. Clearly difference of opinion on what is considered grail.
For 200 Bucks, this better be the 5 screw lol
Suikoden mention in Retro Rick?! Love it
I recently ordered a CIB Suikoden II to finish my North American Suikoden collection. Now I just need the card game for GBA and I will have all the Japanese games that weren't released here.
I just did watch a whatnot commercial!
We're playing fast a loose with the term "grail"!! ;)
You really should reserve the term 'grail' to be the top 3 highest priced games per console.
NES controller box is sooooo nice.
Me. Casually looking at my chain chomp lamp
Nice!!
Heck Yeaa I Never seen another vintage stock I live in topeka kansas and we have one here
I enjoyed this episode
Anyone remember the 10$ game collection series? That was peak Retro Rick.
How does such a big store filled with 90 percent crap stay open and have multiple locations in a small radius? Crazy to me
I'm feeling pretty good since I have like 75% of these CIB.
Guess the SMB 3”Left Bros” in the last store on the bottom shelf isn’t a grail..
I live near Montreal and I'm so jealous of all the store who sell retro game in a short radius in the US, it's a barren wasteland around here...
I was thinking the same thing…
Ricky Edit, calling it now.
And now I want Freddy’s… Thanks Rick!😂
Saw game x change in waxo,TX give a kid and his mom $35 for giratina alt art last week.
prices in america are so high for this stuff , wish I could sell my stuff in america :D
I have never seen Donkey Kong 64 on any store not even in the 90s.
Retro Rick back on the hunt for grails
My tummy hurt
Grails 😂
Looking for rare games is more accurate.
A grail to me is an Action Comics 1 or if you want it to be video game related, Stadium Events. Just saying. Not hating I just feel like the term grail is just getting overused these days.
Exactly. Drives me crazy lol
For my son !! My tummy hurts.
0:49 frank ocean!
Yes Rick you are correct, half the games do not have to be Castlevania...ALL THE GAMES HAVE TO BE CASTLEVANIA!!!
👊😜👍
On Canada CIB means
Seald ...in ...box
You have the box copie not seald
Classics would be the right term
“Charizard is our childhood!” Not sold on that.
Can't believe you left the dragon warrior cib
I keep marking my list off of places to not go because all the good stuff was already bought
'i have a manual at home"
you probably do, but it won't belong to that version of the box i bet.
so you just end up with mismatched pieces, terrible way of collecting.
1:06 *illuminati confirmed*
I dont think rick knows what a grail is.
I tried to buy that same pikachu from them 😂
Nice
Carey is so good-looking.
nostalgia is fun for about 20m but then reality sets in back to pc gaming🤣
the same boxed zelda $250 in the uk unreal
There may have been 1 or 2 actual grails in this video
Hey Rick. Do you have a copy of Sensible Soccer for the Sega Megadrive? Like your content, thanks for doing it.
Dude! I got my eyes set on a sealed Zelda, not just CIB. March 1 is my birthday, so do I get a birthday present? lol
RJ
5:39 🚨 PLEASE WATCH THIS FREUDIAN SLIP!!!! 🚨 l
nes controller boxed ... nice grab
rich with the evil is good signs
Being a leap year day that the giveaway happens, I'm slightly bummed you didn't find an old school CIB Frogger to giveaway.
Hello @RetroRick i love your channels, i love the whatnot too but because im in another country, i never know the exact time you re gonna be there. Can you put a countdown somewhere? It would be nice for everyone who doesnt live in the US like me but have someone who can receive the games and then send them to me later. Thanks a lot, keep growing, have a great day !
There was a golden axe for Sega!
Missing the map for Zelda as well
I doubt the DK64 has the expansion pak with it, but $75 for the game, box and presumably the manual isnt bad
i would check the upload , videos not playing right
