    Retropalooza convention is one of my favorite conventions to go to...full of all things Retro from video games, toys, movies, collectibles and more! Sadly, this years convention did not happen but luckily I still had all my footage from last year and decided what better time to make this video than the week it was supposed to happen! This past year was particularly special because I went as a vendor. I had a booth set up and sold a ton of games that were either doubles or just not needed for my personal collection. I also got to meet up with a ton of amazing youtubers as well! Thank you so much for the Game Chasers for putting on this incredible event.

    Watching this takes me back. Lol the last time I did a show I was 18. 21 yrs ago dang I'm old. I remember them being fun and spending all the money I made on figures and merch I wanted. Good time and great memories. One of these days I'd like to go back to it. Really enjoying your content. Keep it up and hopefully when this thing finally settles they can safely start up these events again.

    Man I am with you on the bummer of conventions being shut down. The Cartridge Club was going to invade PRGE but it got coviderized. We did Too Many Games the year prior and it was a top notch turnout ... best part was meeting all the super rad youtubers out there that I had never seen in person before and chilling with friends at the hotel after.

I remember seeing one along with a stuffed Alf plush at this eccentric thrift store in NYC and thought they looked so cool. That store even had a giant life sized Ronald McDonald statue and a Osama Bin Laden toy for sale which was really weird lol. I remember thinking where the heck did they get this? Store is called Search and Destroy NYC.
