Nice vlog Nicky , nice to watch and cool to see these retro games 🎮
Cheers for watching mate, been to long! Hope all is good your end?
So much cool stuff, so many memories! I used to have the same batman boxed game AND that hand-held turtles game when I were a nipper. So many core memories unlocked watching, great video mate!
Cheers for checking out the vlog . I love that Batman sign/logo. Been after that Turtles game for a while as it still looks great even today
Nice vid with no speed up and good commentary. Love seeing the Dreamcast games looking like new
Cheers for the nice words. Yeah I am not a big fan of loud music and flying about in vids I watch. Thanks for the support and hope you enjoy my other vlogs too
My first console was atari 7200. As for your view on the selection, I agree it was a bit more of common place items, for what was available, and I feel that it shows that the collectors know the value of what they are holding on to, and are unwilling to part with. That also means you'll have more to look forward to next time you head out for an event As well. Ty for sharing the experience with us! Much appreciated
Love the old Atari's my uncle had one when I was a kid. Cheers for watching the vid
Nice video👍, too bad there were so few items. But better too early than too late. At least you could look around quietly before the crowds
Agree, I hate being late to anything. Cheers for watching the vlog
First time we've been and loved it! Spent the first 20 mins hoovering up the Gamecube games while others were snoozing 😂
9/10 from us, we'll be back 😊
I have just got into Gamecube such a great console! What games you pick up today and you recommend I get? Cheers for checking out the vid
It was my first time coming today, but it was more or less what I expected: sellers knew what they had and shoppers knew what they wanted. So the prices were a bit high and I didn’t see too many people making purchases. I wished there were more general videogame merch, t-shirts, figures and that sort of stuff as well.
Yeah I agree with different merch would love to see that too. I love comics too and would love to see that mixed in to the con. What pickups you get today?
I was planning to go to this yesterday, but everything went t*ts up. Firstly, the person I was going with had to back out at the last minute because of unexpected family commitments, then all trains to London from my town were cancelled due to a fallen tree on the line. I was actually on the train waiting for it to set off when the announcement happened. Thanks for doing the video - at least I'll get to see what I missed.
ahh not good with the fallen tree. Yeah I like to go alone to this con, sometimes it good to go alone as you can go to the stalls you want and take your time etc. Cheers for checking out the vid
@@ComicsAndRetro No probs. I've heard these are every four months so I might have to try again some time. Probably drive there, though. 🙄
@@RetroSteveUK yeah think next London one is around November but they do them around the country year round
@@ComicsAndRetro
I have their website bookmarked. 😊👍
8.30am was the traders setup start time!😂
ha ha thats a classic, I should of offered to help out! Cheers for watching
It was 7:30- 10:30.
You just about captured my folks that came at 16:10 I'm right at the end, be sure to say hello next time old sport :)
Cheers for checking out the vlog
Was your stall the one with the pins I chat about or the stall next to it with the plushies?
@@ComicsAndRetro I did have a small selection of pins but yes I was next to the plushies. Nintendo handheld is my jap for the most part.
Hahaha early bird gets the early worm 😂😂
Cheers for watching Jim and babysitting Lanny lol
I never had or played a gamecube i was a super nintendo and N64 when i was younger as my first consoles
Same I never played them as a kid. But now the GameCube is my fave console of all time
Saw you there mate but it was a big busy where you was
Great video as always mate
Cheers for checking out the vid. Deffo come say hi if you spot me again at a retro con or store. What was your review of todays con? You pick up much?
@@ComicsAndRetroit was ok
But I went in with no targets today
I spent about 60 quid and got a few games I wanted on the cheap
I'll have my video up tomorrow at 5
Will definitely say hi next time
This vlog made me a subscriber to your channel. From a fan in Canada, eh!!
Thank you for checking out the vid and subscribing very appreciated. What's your favourite retro console?
Awesome upload Nicky boy, mad on the Turtles aren't you bro🤣🤣. Keep up the great work mate.👍🏻
Thanks for watching the vid. Love anything TMNT cheers for the support
I got here about near 9:30 and I woke up about 10 to 8 in morning. normally I go right but i went left this time. Plus i was wearing the Sonic hat at always and Sonic shirt too. Spot myself at 5:48 7:36 (from my backpack) 15:42 (I'm hiding lol) 15:52 & 20:01
It was less crowded but it was good for me and picked up good lots today. I won't be there for November one as I am planning to head to Brighton for Anime And Gaming Con.
£30 bag from Ed's Hunt (Big Pokemon Card, GBC Boxed of ThunderBirds (no manual) PS Vita of LEGO Batman 2 & Japanese SEGA Game Gear of Aladdin)

I spotted you with you Sonic cap but didnt get a chance to say hi. I would like to try some of the others now as I have done this London one 3 times, be good to mix then up. Love that you got a bag from Eds Hunts. I know you love collecting your Japanese games so good pickups. Cheers for checking out the vlog
@@ComicsAndRetro my video will be online tomorrow morning i hope before heading to work.
I had a good first time, got some nice goodies too. Thanks for the vlog!
Cheers for checking out the vlog. What pickups you get there?
it was my first time too I bought good ps3 games especially tales of xillia 2 metal cover edition !!!
@@IvanIvanov-uo8xm Good pick ups. Pleased you had a good time. Cheers for watching the vid
Great vlog shame you didn't get as many pickups as normal
Yeah was gutted ... back to the Essex retro shops I go
Earl’s Court exhibition centre used to host a computer gaming fair in the 80s. Remember it being huge.
Is there anything like that now?
Yeah in London and across the UK they have retro gaming fairs etc and cons at Earls Court. Check out my latest vid at a gaming con last month - ruclips.net/video/AxdkZB-b6E4/видео.htmlsi=K9q8ow0m-bnuKYMK
Great video
Appreciate the support
Hi There. Great Video My Man 🤓 I totally agree I have been going for a good few years now and found this one really underwhelming 🙁 It would be okay if you wanted the normal PS1, PS2 games, plus the usual GBA, GB games etc. I wrote a list and literally I could find only one and this was vastly over priced (I actually managed to get it online £20 cheaper) After walking around for 3 laps searching I gave up and went home. The only plus was meeting Ed Hunt and some other people to talk to. I may give the next one a miss
So pleased to hear it wasn't just me. I certainly won't be going to the next one. Way too many PS1 and PS2 basic games. Underwhelming is a very good way of putting it. Cheers for watching the vid
@@ComicsAndRetroI was the person you nearly filmed opening my blind bag from Ed. I thought I recognised you first in the queue. I got there around 9.45 and was wondering what time you got there. I was passing the time playing my play date
@@mrpscorpio I sooo wanted to film you opening that but didn't know if I was allowed as I know they film them so walked away. Come say hi if you see me again at any retro event or retro store. What you get out of the bag out of interest?
Great review of the day but depends on what you are looking for, agreed it didn’t have everything I was looking for and such a shame you didn’t find much 😔. I got there about 9:55 with my boy and yep seemed slightly quieter and not as manic. I picked up dj boy CIB fir megadrive for £20 and spellcaster for the master system for £25 as like to add something to both collections. Picked up some gameboy but my boy managed to pick up splatterhouse for the Xbox 360 for £55 which is a great price. Keep up the vids cheers Jon 👍👍👍
Love that you got Splatterhouse such a fun game! Yeah I was gutted as I always get great pickups here and ended up with a ten pound bloody turtle lol. Cheers for checking out the vlog and pleased you had a nice day out with your boy.
Hi I've just subscribed, nice video and some cool stuff on display imo. My first console was the PS1 and I loved playing Bust A Move 2, great memories. I still got it somewhere. Btw awesome TMNT pickup 🔥👍🎮🐢
Thank you for subscribing. You still play retro games? Hell yeah love anything TMNT. Cheers for watching the vid
@@ComicsAndRetro I try to but nowadays I play games on my PS4 and Nintendo Switch. No probs mate 👍🔥
Can't believe how early you were lol
WAYYYY to early lol
@@ComicsAndRetro I came at nine but wait 1 hour outside and entered 10 didn't know you must wait in QEW lol it was my first visit.
@@IvanIvanov-uo8xm how did you get on there you enjoy it? Get any pick-ups?
That entrance hall in the Royal National has really gone downhill.
Only a few years back, they had some nice comfy seats and tables in the open space near the vending machines (where all those chairs where stacked up.).
@@AFCManUk I soooo needed a nice sofa getting there that early. Cheers for watching the vid
Very Cool
Cheers for watching the vid
Great detailed video. I couldn't get there due to double booking. Do you know when and where the next one is?
Think the next one in London is around November time but I know they do other locations before they come back to London during this summer. Cheers for watching the vid
@@ComicsAndRetro I'll keep Googling it and see what I can find 👍 and yes you should get an N64 😉
Crack stuff
Cheers for checking out the Vlog
Well I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought it wasn't all that in there. My first ever gaming market and I was expecting better tbh. I didn't buy a single thing either, I almost forced myself to get something as it felt odd not picking something up. But talked myself out of it thankfully.
And my God that smell 😂 Seriously why do geeks feel the need to stink 😂
Yeah the last two I went to were great but this time was disappointing. Maybe it's the time of the year with people away etc. cheers for checking out the vlog to the end lol
nice vlog as a seller found it much better due to new ticket system calmed things down a bit
Yeah I agree the new ticket system kept it controlled. Cheers for watching the vid
went a couple years ago and was super dissapointed. Super cramped tiny space with LOADS of ppl at 3. Didnt buy anything. I like mint condition if I get cardboard nintendo boxes, there was none and prices were crazy, although u can probably haggle.
@@magicarpet101 yeah I am the same love things mint condition. Agree the November one was rammed this one was a little lighter not sure if it's new ticket system or people away on holiday. Cheers for watching the vid
Will you sell your sopranos pack 😊
I wish I could find more ... I bought one pack then they sold out when I went back. Great TV show. Cheers for watching the vid
The Super Nintendo is my favorite retro console. I'm into handheld systems now.
I had a Super Nintendo when I was a kid and love the game cardboard boxes now. What handhelds you been playing lately?
Game boy was my very first console Super Nintendo first home console
@@DanielLane-lz3lj Cheers for watching the vid. Loved Super Nintendo
Me too currently got around about 56 CIB games in the very best quality, I can find them
@@DanielLane-lz3lj love the Super Nintendo boxes
where in london was this
@@AC-LING666 Its held at the Royal National Hotel in Russell Square London. Cheers for checking out the vid
@@ComicsAndRetro thank you
