It was great to meet you. My boy cheered when he saw the photo appear on the tele haha. 😂 This was the definitely the best of the Norwich videogame markets so far, it's definitely gaining some traction, I hope it continues. Oh wow thats a lovely selection of guide books, looks like you done well there. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of Tooty towers as well, it looks epic. I kept pausing to check out the titles, looks like a fantastic collection. Take care man and we hope to see you at more events in the future. 😀
No worries was a pleasure to meet you both and yeah cant fault the event, great location, great facilities! Yeah its not much of a games room but its mine lol Defo see you at some point this year i reckon!
I need to get to a toy fair, but I'll just end up with more crap I can store or display. Room is busy, time to make a decision and bin off some collections. Could things like the DS games stack vertically in the space to use the height? I have the same type of shelving and it's great for allowing different heights without loads of empty space above games.
Well i could probably take a look at re-jigging some of the smaller sets, perhaps stacking differently would work! Toy fairs are great but youre right you get sucked into a nostalgia void thats hard to escape lol
Those guides were a bargain! I love those things, used to have stacks of them, whittled them down so I only have them for my fav games now, but they’re awesome to flick through! Got to admit, I don’t miss the days of having to re arrange my shelves every few months to accommodate all my new purchases! I considered the sliding shelf racks at one point like they have in libraries, not cheap but best use of space! “It’s not a gaming room, it’s a game library” I like that 😂. I saw a solution once that made the games look cool to display and made good use of space but I don’t think your shelving would be wide enough, good mate of mine used to put a row of forward facing games that he wasn’t fussed for against the wall then the average games spine out in front of those, then his favs forward facing at the front. Probably easier to love mate 😂
Oh defo bargain Stew, i couldnt leave them there at those prices! I know if only the kids would move out id be sorted hahahaha! Yeah the archive storage (aka library style) with the ladder on wheels hahahaha!
5:51 😂 I didn't answer the first question do I still get to watch the video? 😂 10:21 I hope his name is fookin Lee 😂😂😂 , Glad you got to meet some people at the toy fairs, 34:21 Dig a pit and create a basement 😂 Space is always a problem But having a space Like that full of great things is not a problem 😂 Happy New Year again mate
I got the Pitfall question correct but not that fucking bowzer one 🤣 I didnt even know about the Norwich event. Last Norwich event i went to was 2 years ago and it was in a church i think 🤔, anyway, it was a decent event, nothing major but a few of us tubers made a good day of it 👍 It certainly is crammed in there mate but in a good way 👍 Ill likely see you at BCE next mate, take care 👊
Happy new year!!!! Great to see the library Stu. I would hide the Indy stuff and the shelves where the megadrive set is look double depth, just double park them in front of the others-you know the md set is complete so that’s done -would give you more than enough space. Looking forward to seeing the changes buddy 😉👍
Yeah i think the indy stuff might get boxed up for now, its had a good airing lol! Hmmmm i never wanted to double stack stuff, butttt i could i suppose as you say stick all the sports stuff into one corner out the way....good idea that Stodge!
Never understand the people who don't like cex.....but still use them 😂 those guides for £2.50 are a bargain toots buddy 😊 i wish i knew who your secret santa was as i just threw alot of wrapping paper out 😂 you reminded me i need to get back to asking only fools and horses questions. Totally agree on your room bud, its your room you have it as you want
I really enjoy seeing the comic/magazine pick ups. They are a twat to keep though aren't they😂 take up loads of space and don't really look like anything 🤷 It's a shame you're running out of space, putting some titles you won't play into storage sounds like a good idea though👍
Sounds like some fab folk from the toy community turned up 👍. Dave (vintage toy rush) is a blooming legend; an absolute gent with a great collection. I haven’t attended a toy fair yet but that early entry thing seems to be the norm. Very odd indeed; I’m thinking of doing Sandown and it’s all “tickets at the door” as opposed to online. Jason is another top fella! Hope that 2025 is a better year health wise mate👍👍
Unfortunately couldn't make Norwich gaming market but sounds like you had a good time there Your collection is taking over you need another room/loft but I take it that not possible hopefully you find a way Great video 👍
Happy New Year to you too 👍 Nice little Galager machine, they do look cool. Good to hear the toy show went down well for lizard retro, always going to be a worry incase it didn't go well when it's a new style of event, I don't like that way of letting early birds in whilst your setting up though, sounds a bit awkward tbh. Norwich gaming market sounds like a good one, being in a shopping centre is a novel idea, glad you was happy with your take. Your room was always going to be a store room type of thing due to its epic proportions lol you said its exactly as you planned, had to be because of the sheer numbers involved, it had to be spines showing, I love to see game box artworks like Craig's recent tour and his bank of systems but your collection is exempt from that type of thinking and working, you've your systems used for testing stock/your games and your switch for actually playing games so your sorted, shame your going to have to possibly warehouse a load, you'll work out the best way forward for tootys library 👍
Well hopefully this year we'll see banana box inc spreading itd wings and taking on a trading partner (retroimports inc) and perhaps popping up at an event other than donny hahahaha! Yeah the room is what it is as i said i was fully aware it was never going to have a "wall of systems ready to go"
@tootyuk Hahaha I did mention the possibility to retro import llc about a possible merger with our two great companies lol Your rooms a library of full sets and amazing stock levels, a legendary collection and I still can't quite believe your still at it today tbh, how many full setters have you kept full sets for as long as you, not many I bet.
@@craigshereagain6008 I will buy shares in the new Banana box imports inc company the futures bright, the futures bright pink (if James has a say on the branding) Well this is true anyone can buy all the games, but can you afford to keep them??
Blimey Stu, you fell on your feet with those guides, I reckon they are worth a few hundred if you'd bought them all separately Hard to see where you are going to make much space there without being really drastic, I'd say bin the 360 but couldn't see any🤣👍
Great chat, buddy.And always nice to see the collection in all its glory. Sounds like you've got some difficult decisions ahead with storage. Good luck, buddy.I found it really difficult being away from my collection. It'll be back in the house one day though
Mate, Happy New Year 🎉. I think a ton of people have had that feeling of “I am or am I not sick?” for weeks and weeks, myself included, bloody annoying isn’t it! Hope you start to feel normal again soon and nice to see you 👍🏻
Nice to see you sober this time 😂😂 Nice video dude and wow them mags were great and I’ve been after a few of them guilds but can never find them. Looking forward to getting a pic with you in 2025 👊🏻
Agreed, it's not right when they let punters in and you're setting up. Not cool but glad you did ok. I was in two minds with Norwich as Ricky Bowtell is a nice fellow and a great host sadly I haven't done as well as I'd had liked when I went to Brighton in the summer and it's the same kind of deal with that after 2 hours it was dry. I remember reading someone complaining that there were only 10 traders at the last Norwich one you went to. That being said I wish Ricky well. It's not all bad as you get exposure when you go to these places, I might have not done well at Brighton but people who remembered me bought from me at London so thats that. Well you be at Leeds Feb 2nd? I'm in two minds as for me it comes down to what the weather is like.
I got both questions right so I can watch the rest of the video 😂. I'm trying really hard not to buy transformers. Nice bundle of guides. We are all out of room mate, yet we still buy more plastic tat. Utterly Incredible collection 👏. Get rid of all the n64 games, loads of room then 😂.
Well done Dave you are todays winner! Oh really damn im glad i have the will power when it comes to the retro toys!! Lol you wait until the analogue 3d comes out, you'll all be wanting a n64 then..............i think hahahaha!
Interesting collection. You have everything but also nothing, what a quandary you find your self in with the lack of space. I would keep those sport titles especially with the Mega Drive as they are very much part of the collection as much as any other Game. Perhaps it’s best to take out the superfluous items in the room such as the India Jones items and put them elsewhere as it’s confusing the rooms purpose as a games library and the ironing board I don’t comprehend why that is even there.
Hi Stu was great to meet you in Norwich was surprised with the shout out. Me (Ian) & my wife Paula in the wheelchair had a lovely day spent way more than I should of. But Paula didn't mind as she said she knows where I am & it keeps me busy. i am regretting not buying the Atari 2600 AV Modded from you now. If you still have it I would love to buy it from you if possible please message me about it. I see what you mean by running out of room.
Hey Ian, ah was great to meet you and the missus hahaha yeah we had a laugh about that didnt we mate, re the atari well im only on FB mate so if you can find me on there (retro realm fb group im an admin)
Funny that you mentioned the length of your videos. Kev on his channel Access Area 6 said he's had trolls complaining for him to shorten his content. Makes me wonder if there's a Tiktok exodus happening.

Great vid as always, I don’t have any advice on how to re jig your collection but I can say it looks amazing 🤩
Cheers mate, no nor me its a mess hahahaha
That’s is some collection toots…
Can’t you clear off the toys off the front of those shelves? They look really deep, you can double stack
Not up for double stacking Steve, that one thing i wanted to avoid tbh, the indy stuff will be going into storage for sure ive decided
Looking more crammed than my speedos mate 👊🏻looking awesome and zero space,can you breath in there
😂😂😂
Well ive told you to stop buying them 2 sizes too small ;)
@🤣Not my fault they only go up to a XXXXXL pouch

Hope you had a great Christmas and new year buddy. Seems you've barely got room to swing a cat. Love it.
