I used to shop at one of Kris' stores in CT years ago and didn't realize it for over a year after I started seeing him and his stores in videos. Definitely took me back.
yeah I did too because maybe they're both so unreal super fake and create such incredible levels of false proganda for price hyping and trying to raise ceiling values where there isn't any, yeah man I couldn't agree more! 👍😉
Thanks for sharing. That store is such a blast! Love it. With that said, i do understand the whole collecting stuff, however, seeing all those games still sealed and graded and boxed somehow feels sad to me. They're meant to be played. And you know they just never will be.
I LOVE Retro Games Plus. I definitely need to go to the Game store and get couple of games and other stuff hopefully one day. 🙏 Also I that punisher T-shirt it looks badass 🔥🔥
In the 90s I worked in a mom and pop video store and part of my daily job was sealing tapes for resale. It’s just a seam-sealer and and heat gun, any 16 year old can do it. Only mentioning bc the tapes section of the video they’re talking about “sealed copies” being worth more. I literally did that for 20 minutes every shift in high school I don’t think it means anything in terms of quality.
Something was very familiar about this store and then I realized it is my local game store. Huh? I live in CT this is in CA. Had to look it up… wait what! they have stores in both states?! I thought this was a little mom & pop type store…
@desertcoliseum Not Christian - like if he has so many tattoos and is in love with Retro Rick. 🤣🤣🤣 Deserts his children just to buy video games for his collection and goes to video game expos with his guy friends. Doesn't sound like a Christian guy that goes to church and has dinner as a family.
Even in the early 90s, the SNES "kiosks" were often on a counter top or shelf next to PCs or even appliances, so I expect many were ordered without the bases. If anyone in the UK has a PlayStation kiosk for sale, please let me know.
Living in Seattle, there is no stores even close to this, BIG TECH PRICED THIS KIND OF STUFF OUT They want you to order online, Stores like this are literally gaming/collectors communities, ,all this is so fucking awesome ❤
I had the street fighter figures when I was little. they are GI Joe figures. I almost feel like the packaging that was on the ones I had were different from those.
I have a 3do and some games in it probably the best one was gex which i have. Sega saturn and couple of games include tomb rider and Resident Evil and die hard these are my favor in the system as well "Nights into dreams" Note: fun fact when aim written the games and reach to "as well "nights into dreams" then the video reach 4:19 and mention the game 😂
This video will out your stores back room inventory, where its kept and what is in there. INVEST in a gun safe and move those sealed games in there before someone watches this and jacks that stuff!
Sounds like just another bs auction between resellers… 👍 You fell for a staged price Have fun begging and enjoy all the picker offers well below what you just paid for it. 😆
@@ghfjfghjasdfasdf I know what I have and how rare it is. I will mot have any problem getting the price I would like to get out of it. They only made 50 copies of the version I have.
Regardless, that asking price is 🤡 world at best. Looked it up and saw no sold sealed copies, I saw two clowns asking $2500 though, Good luck with your begging.
Rick try the KETO diet!! No bread. No sugar. No soda. NO FAST FOOD *side note: I still eat fruits & vegetables tho on the KETO diet and it still works 👍*
I LOVE Retro Games Plus. I usually go to their sister store a few miles from this one, but both shops have so many great games and the fairest prices I have seen in any retro game store I have gone to.
Im 44 and this is a nostalgia overload, i had most of those games at one point. I can still remember ripping off the plastic and tearing boxes to get the games open lol. Crazy they had so many in mint and sealed
Im 46, same here. Especially Punchout, I still have my original but not the box. Funny thing, it was stolen from me for a year, found out who it was and actually got it back.
I'm 53 here myself and why is it any surprise..? These came out of China by the shipping freight containers full and with many of them daily at any number of US ports 24/7?? Plastic junk that just because some one influences others as a price or deems it to be of a certain value doesn't mean it is or does!!?? 🤷I consider them garbage honestly that's because they actually are now! Yeah not for nothing but its 2025 almost ok!? Not the year 3459 AD! Lets get for real here please for the love of all things holy & divine!!!?? This guys channel serves fake propaganda driven representation and hype for bolstering more subscribers ultimately catering to his bottom line! None of this could be further from the truth or to actuality or to reality! Lol!!! 🤷
Things are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. I can put a million dollar price tag on a white t-shirt and all I need is 1 person thinking it's worth it.
I can't believe such tiny T-shirts actually sell, I guess people just collect them but don't actually wear them? I mean my 13-year-old is men's 2XL The hoop eyes all these like small and medium shirts?
Love to see people like Blake who are very young but know the classics. Keeping retro gaming alive.
You could feel Rick’s energy CHARGE when the t-shirts came out 🤩🤩

Does the old store still exist? Been in CT a while now and really have to search for retro shops so would love to know if there's a good one I missed!
@@sunshinem.7741 Looks like it from their website, 3 stores in Norwalk, Newington, and Orange.
Good retro shop in manchester@@sunshinem.7741
@@sunshinem.7741 Yeah I think there are 3 stores still in CT
I remember Prehistoria! Oh my gosh I loved that movie!
The nervous interview of Chase is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while!
!!AND!!
I immediately thought of Froggy Flips when I saw that MadBalls VHS.
yeah I did too because maybe they're both so unreal super fake and create such incredible levels of false proganda for price hyping and trying to raise ceiling values where there isn't any, yeah man I couldn't agree more! 👍😉
the copy of Custer's Revenge on the backroom table kills me
I use to go to that store every weekend. I love that retro store.
Froggy flips is awesome…I love his videos👍🏻👍🏻
He's kind of a tool though, let's be real.
@@LeadMe2TheBlissNo he’s really not
I'll never get over that Nights display. So insane
Thanks for sharing. That store is such a blast! Love it.

The Chase interview had me rolling.
The casual CATRP cameo 😂.
You've gotta love those simps! 🤣
@@LeadMe2TheBlisssimp isn’t the correct word but… yes…
Holy smokes man...that Tetris sealed. What a Classic!
7:53 Madballs stuff for Anthony, yes indeed

That bit at 4:28 pretending to be awkward was great 😂
Please add froggy flips to the special guest
Mom and Dads money will get you a big vintage sealed game collection at 20 years old.
prehysteria was one of my favorites as a kid

What a cool store.
With so many graded sealed copies of stuff…soon we will be seeing “Graded graded copies of graded games
Sucker born every day
I’ve been thinking about this as well 😂
i never even thought about that,i hope it doesnt happen lol
😂😂😂😂
At least in comics, there was a company that would do this same exact thing. I think they worked with heritage at one point. This was a few years ago.

Midwest retro should be a special guest at your convention 👀👀
Love those turtles vhs tapes! I still need a couple different ones like that Hi C one. Hmm…
When he pulled out that R.O.T.O.R VHS tape. The first thing that popped into my head was how much it resembles the original Mad Max movie poster.
Prehysteria! is one most favorite movie series
Stay outta my turf
Yeah. Go back to Arkansas. This is Riff & Ricky turf
Riff get over yourself it's a free country, bro.

Hey that’s me!
I found a 400 dollar vhs Beasties only 200 copies ever made for 2 bucks last Month. Was a great find and brought me good money.
You paid… money for a VHS cassette. Sucker’s born every day..
@@ghfjfghjasdfasdf 2 Dollars and sold it for 400 hardly a sucker
Easy on those VHS's Rick... God damn. Lol
So cool. 😎
Living in Seattle, there is no stores even close to this,
BIG TECH PRICED THIS KIND OF STUFF OUT
They want you to order online,
Stores like this are literally gaming/collectors communities,
,all this is so fucking awesome ❤
Dude I remember those ! Did they have like a rubber band in them too?
That punisher t shirt was badassssssss
the catrp bit was super funny
Awesome shirt brotha 😎🔥😁💪
I had the street fighter figures when I was little. they are GI Joe figures. I almost feel like the packaging that was on the ones I had were different from those.
Hmm maybe copies? Then they arent wortg SHT ! And he is ripping people off ! If you are remembering right , if not then my mistake
Pretty cool how ya started and ended the vid with Darkwing Duck (NES) music! ;)
Retro Rick's boyfriend Riff edits the video. You can never separate those two.
I have a sealed copy of Gus old 70s early 80s Disney movie
Love the vhs content not so much the rising costs on them as it makes my hoarding a little expensive, I mean “collecting” 😅
the CATRP Crew making an appearance!
I have a 3do and some games in it probably the best one was gex which i have.
Sega saturn and couple of games include tomb rider and Resident Evil and die hard these are my favor in the system as well "Nights into dreams"
Note: fun fact when aim written the games and reach to "as well "nights into dreams" then the video reach 4:19 and mention the game 😂
Tengen Tetris SEALED. Sorry out of all those spicy slabs that is frickin ridiculous! I've only got the loose cart twice, and the CIB once.
100 for a shirt . NO !!!!
You're poor, we get it. You don't need to announce something like that to the world.
4:30-5:15 was hilarious! lmfaooooo
That's legit six figures of unopened games.
Word on the street is Retro Rick actually invented the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 'Nam.
For a tiny home in Alaska maybe.
I have a sealed TMNT Hi-C 'Funny they shrunk Michaelangelo' VHS
i have no idea what happened in between 4:28 and 5:16. i genuinely thought i am either having a stroke or i am too stoned to watch youtube.
Makes me so happy that I'm not the only that had no idea what was going on. And I have no excuse unfortunately.
Dude those tshirt prices are crazy.....
This video will out your stores back room inventory, where its kept and what is in there. INVEST in a gun safe and move those sealed games in there before someone watches this and jacks that stuff!
That metroids the final run print can't be worth much. If so I'll get mine graded
Save your money, don’t be a 🤡.
It's the last print of Metroid classic series like 1990...they did it with Metroid Zelda one and two and a few others
I see chris farley in that interview a little bit lol
Sealed SWEET!!! Graded, so what, doesn't change a thing.
What shirt is he wearing
The guy with the VHS tapes legit looks like he stepped out of the past with those tapes. xD
Ima step out yo mama wit some tapes
If you get the Ps2. You dont have to watch Vhs anymore, bc the Ps2 also has a Dvd player inside.
Badassss vhs tooooo
Get Froggy Flips that Mad Balls VHS.
a real fortune!
I picked up a sealed copy of leisure suit Larry for the Nintendo a week ago for $250. I'm going to stick it online on eBay soon.

Here for the linticulararities.
Can we normalize “SealedIB” for sealed games? 😌 lol.
12:05 Its not complete because the TV isnt original, a complete one has a super nintendo logo on the bottom right of the tv.
As a bigger guy, vintage shirts just don't come in my size.
But would you pay for them it's expensive Imo
@@andrewkolb6309 F*ck no. Most people just buy vintage clothing to re-sell it. I guess if I was rich though I may consider it? 🤣
Just get someone who does graphical Tee’s to make for a fraction of what they asking

Graded games the biggest scam
