Absolutely they are. I do feel bad for the vendors because at $800+ per table at this event ($1200+ per table at its sister show in Calgary). They probably feel that they have to try and make it up somewhere and bring prices up. The smaller shows around here seem to be a better value as a whole.

After booth 7 I think even BOTW Link would think it’s a little too much 😂🤣😂

I did the survey and made sure that if they read it, they will know what they did 😂🤣 Guess I’ll just have to make up for this one by coming to RetroWorld next year instead 🤔

Absolutely, I wish they would do a better job of screening the vendors to avoid so many that are just the same thing repeated.

That’s how I felt too. It just feels like they need to do a better job at a lot of things. I hope they can bring back the soul of the expo, but I’m not sure that they will. Thanks for watching!

Midwest is 100% on my list! It looks like an awesome event, hopefully I can fit it in next year but if not I’ll be there the following one.

Right! Just a sword and a hand full of tentacle fingers 😂🤣😂 thanks brother I appreciate that you think so!

Name change incoming! 😂🤣😂

😂🤣😂🤣😂⚔️🗡️⚔️

I’m really glad to hear you had a good time and were able to pick up some games! Hopefully they can make a slight course correction and bring back that ‘something’ that it has been missing the last couple of years. It’s still fun to check out, just depends on what you’re hunting for too. Thanks for watching!

Every year there are more and more here. It kinda feel like that’s what this is becoming 😂 One big flea market convention.

That’s probably a good idea. Some of the smaller and younger cons can be really great and a lot of fun but the ones owned by these big con groups seem to not be as worth it anymore. Yeah I probably should have been saying prop metal swords, hopefully no one takes me too seriously and tried to take any of those into “battle”! I mean, I would watch that for the laughs, but it wouldn’t be good for anyone 🤣😂🤣

@@RetrocartCollector freakin RUclips deleted my original reply but sword fails videos are a thing....

😂 RUclips search for sword fails engaged!

@@RetrocartCollector lols 😂

Yeah I agree, it's a bummer that some are turning into just anything goes. This one makes me glad I have the ability to come down there for some of the really fun ones with you folks!

Yeah I was there last year and it wasn’t as bad as this year. It just keeps going down hill which makes me sad. The Calgary one is a bit better I agree, but the vendor tables there are like $1200 a table for next year! That’s going to push out all the good small vendors and it will spiral I think. Glad this video was helpful for you!

Thanks so much for watching my friend! Glad you're enjoying the videos! I love yours too and wish I was as creative as you!!

I feel like the swords would be better suited if it was Edmonton London, which I assume isn’t London Ontario. 😂🤣 That’s a good question, i don’t think they are battle tested, so I’m not sure if they need to monitor the output of prop swords into the criminal underbelly… but hey, Ya never know 🤣

Riiiikkkkkeeeeeyyyyyyyy!

Thanks for watching brother!

That’s an awesome event for sure! I’ve been to the last couple and am planning to be there in November as long as the weather will let me!

I don't live close to Edmonton and Calgary but the YYC game collectors group is amazing.

@@jpixels4042 there are some really awesome folks in the game collecting community for sure!

That’s sucks that Dragons Con was like that for you! I totally think there are some of the younger cons that are still doing it right, it’s sad that some of the larger ones have changed so much. Thanks for watching my friends!

Yeah it’s not worth it if you’re looking for games. That’s awesome you’re up to 60 vendors now! I’ll absolutely try to be there if the weather lets it happen!

That’s too bad you were only breaking even there! I hope there’s a better option for you in the future!

Some of the art is amazing, artist alley represents some truly amazing folks. Totally too many swords, it was a running gag by the end, I guess if someone was looking for that it would be good.

That sucks! You would think it would be hard for a record show to not be about record but I guess it depends if they vet the vendors or it would be the same as this! Hopefully less swords there tho 😂🤣😂🤣

@@RetrocartCollector weirdly….a ton of swords 😂

“The Daily Double! This small sword was wielded by both Bilbo and Frodo.”

@@RetrocartCollector What is... the lead singer of The Police!

Thanks so much for watching!

That could have been the one. That’s awesome you got it from there at Price Charting value! That’s an awesome score! Me too, something bigger that was for the Retro crowd would be great to have here.

Right! I guess at least the people that went looking to defend their castle and buy a sword could do some good price comparisons 😂🤣😂🤣 It’s funny, Porchman was kind enough to help my nephew out and hook him up with a Wii, he even sent him some extras in the box. So he ended up with 2 copies of Mario Galaxy. 😂 He’s going to trade one copy to add to his collection, so that’s great anyways.

and these conventions usually arent just specificly gaming or comics, its everything with just vendors,itsjust curious to me!

Hey Bryce! So Fan Expo itself is a huge company that owns conventions all over North America. Here they use to be full of everything fan related. With lots of games, toys, comics and everything. They bought up a bunch of conventions all over the place and turned them all into Fan Expo events. Megacon Orlando is one of the ones they own. Sadly they have turned into what this is now. Which kind of sucks for everyone. This one use to be a cool event, but it’s not that great now.

@@Woodmanclassics super sword con!

It was really quiet in the morning when we got there. Even the line to get in was non existent. It felt like it was getting busy in the afternoon, but still nothing crazy like I have seen at other events.

@@RetrocartCollector I believe it. I think I'm just more used to seeing videos of the more gaming type of expos. They seem pretty packed. Still an enjoyable video thank you.

It you need a metal sword, you cant go down an row without finding one here. Come on up brother! LOL

It was a disappointment for us. I have been enjoying the smaller shows here lately where the vendors that use to go to Fan Expo are at now. But this just means I'll have to come down to the states for more cons instead LOL

SETH! Sege is on my list for next year my friend!

I feel like 1 or 2 more sword booths and it would be mandatory to call it Swords Expo! LOL

I hope that's a good expo to check out! Hopefully if its a game expo then there are lots of great items.

I’m stoked I finally have it in my collection! I think it’s probably the one I played the most on the N64 as well!

I’m really glad you enjoyed them. Thats a long trip and would be rough to make it out there from the east coast for sure! I’m glad I could take you along with me through the vids and show you my little adventure down there!

I had never seen the show but it was cool to check out while I was looking for a clip for this vid. Thanks so much my friend!

@@RetrocartCollector you’re very welcome my friend! So glad we got to hangout last weekend!

@@retrobeliever me too, I think one of my favorite parts of the weekend was just hanging out with you boys at lunch. Great times with great people. 🎉🎉

@@RetrocartCollector agreed!!! ❤️🎮

Thank you and thanks for watching! I totally think that nostalgia has an effect on value, you can see it in the way prices on certain systems go up when they kind of hit that nostalgic marker for younger folks as they get older. Golden Eye for sure is one of those games that people cherish from their childhood and will change that value I think.

Me too, it would be awesome to have a super scope on the wall in a sweet case or something just to look at. That’s awesome, I think Goldeneye was a game changer for a lot of people, super cool it was able to change gaming for you! 🤙🎉

That’s awesome you still enjoy playing it! I’m super glad to have crossed that one off my list.

@@Retrobash80!!! That’s awesome. Dragon Spirit will go on the list for a future one then! I have it, I just don’t think I have dug into it, so I’m stoked to do that now. Thanks for watching brother! 🤙🤙

😂 It WAS a blast back in the day. I’m excited to try it multiplayer again now. Miiiight be a little rough now tho. 🤣😂🤣

Thanks brother! 🙌🤙

That’s a great pick for a favorite on the system! It was so awesome back in the day!

I totally forgot about those codes!!! Now I’m even more excited to have it! 😂🤣😂

@@RetrocartCollector lol glad to bring back some memories there is a bunch to and now we have the full extent of the internet to provide that information lol back in the day it was mostly word of mouth, forums and magazines

Absolutely! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks man! Don’t worry it’s coming. It will be included in a pick ups video soon.

@@RetrocartCollector yay

I love the idea of it. Some times it’s a bit of a let down, but honestly, I’m always excited for it when I get the notice it’s in the mail. Which kind of makes it worth it. 🤔
