Real talk... First of all a pleasure to be the one there with you during this moment. Second...I am super proud of you man. This is a massive achievement and you are doing this so well! Lastly...thanks for allowing us to be the inspiration for your channel man, seeing all you have done and will continue to do is beyond humbling and I am so pumped for the future! LETS FRIGGIN GOOO!
So happy for you man. Must be surreal for you and look like you still don’t believe it’s your store. Been watching you from the beginning, huge milestone ❤
Even being a long-time subscriber, this is so surreal even for me. There is a saying "Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery." You will never know what will happen in the future. Now being the proud owner of Game Point has solved the mystery of tomorrow. Congratulations on getting the store. May it bring you, your family,, and friends joyous occasions for many years to come.
You should ask people who come into the store what to do with the board games. If there a community of people who go to the store for them, then you should consider keeping them.
Rick, I’m so happy for you. We were just hit by hurricane Ian and everything has been nothing but chaos but seeing your video brought a smile to my face. Congratulations. I’ll definitely visit YOUR STORE as soon as I can.❤❤❤
The end of this video gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been watching you for awhile now Rick and your an inspiration to the retro community and I’m so happy for you brotha! You deserve all the success in the world
i hope you do great things to the store! i’ve shopped there many times and traded games as well. one of my favorite game stores ever! can’t wait to see you next time i visit
The store is so beautiful. Really makes me wish we had a bigger location with super high ceilings. The possibilities are endless with a space that size! Congratulations man!
One of my favorite game stores double jump video games, I’m also very proud of all the work you’ve put in for ur store Also! So excited for all my video game owners !
So fricken impressed with what you have accomplished man, your store is incredible and you deserve it! Elisa and I are so excited to see the future of you and your channel after taking such a huge step! Don't forget to take a breather every so often, you already do so much for the community 😊
Congrats Retro Rick, what an accomplishment for you my man. I'm so proud of you too as a viewer who's watched you since 2020 when the pandemic was forcing everyone to stay home, I found some comfort in your videos, feeling like I was going out and on adventures with you while being locked in my own home. Thank you for everything you've done, and I'm looking forward to following you on your journey!
Today I'm gonna start off with a $10 bill and turn it into a game store! Lol, in all seriousness this is amazing and your channel is not only a great source of entertainment and a way of feeling nostalgia, it's also an inspiration to so many. Whether you're inspired to do RUclips, or collect more, or flipping, it's all here and you're at the helm... absolutely crushing it! Love this channel.
Let’s go!!!! I hope you know that you now truly have the keys to the next level of retro gaming. What you could accomplish may shape the hobby into the next level that it needs to head into. I believe in you guys. Build it for us.
Congratulations on your acheivement Retro Rick! You deserve it! I've been watching your videos since late 2019. I was and still am a big fan of your channel. You're a great guy and I'm so proud of you. :) Keep up the awesome work and Keep On Gaming! :)
Thank you for the hours of entertainment you have provided me and family, my daughter loves your channel, you have took me back to my childhood, thank you and God bless you and your family!
Kinda wild for me to see you grow from a scrappy 2k sub YT channel to almost 200k, but also a freaking game store owner! Wild stuff man! Very proud of you! Keep going!
As a fan of the channel from TX, I think a cool way people out of state could contribute to you and the store would be a gofundme for a new “RETRO Rick’s” sign for front of shop - Do it!
Killer store bud! Was able to visit it last year when I was in Arkansas… the display items are definitely next level. Looking forward to what you do with it.
The magical use of colors that KB toys and Toys R Us had in the 90’s was the secret sauce that your new store has. The bigger than life characters tells a story that inspires without any digital stimulation that other stores today use.
The best of successes Rick! You guys are an inspiration as collectors and as a community for all of us who enjoy retro, even in distant latitudes as is my case, from Costa Rica.
Congratulations Rick. I love your channel. Being born in the 80's myself it brings back all the good memories! :) Also that shop is amazing. Wish I could pop over from the UK, London to see it. Maybe one day lol. Good luck and I hope it all goes well. 👍🏻
Congrats on the store rick, its definitley one of a kind and rrreeeaally cool place, i hope it brings you and family lots of joy and hapiness, and you get to spread that hapiness into the community, for many years to come
That is so incredible! Congratulations brother! You deserve it Rick! I know you will bring joy to many other gamers in the community with your store. You have already touched the hearts of so many people with your channel. Your hard work shows. Once again, congratulations. God bless!
I've been following this channel last 2 years and must say wow what joy and fun been to see how easy things can be found and achieve. I'm a smal game collector which my wife think I'm not. But compared to community for sure. And this have inspired me to do collecting in a smarter way and aswell enjoy it. I am hopefully in near future get the chance to go to this store all the way from 🇳🇴. Enjoying everytime I see a new video either for games, store or retro hunt. Congratulations on your achievement and well done 👏 🥳🥳
Such a beautiful store. Yes the statues and displays stand out. That effect definitely gets me as what I love about collecting is the curation and display of your collection. It feels like a cool place to hang out as well as find games on my list.
Congrats on the new store man! I feel like that "Museum" area could be used to display very rare games for sale for certain consoles like Nintendo or N64 or even display rare toys. The museum area is a cool idea I just don't think if it'd bring customers in and could be used in a better way. Congrats again man!
Happy for you. That is an amazing store clearly. More then a store, an attraction really. After watching your videos for the last couple of years now I think you are the right person to carry on the tradition of excellence the original owners installed. Good luck and enjoy the moment. If we ever get to your area we will definitely check it out.
I am so so happy for you Retro Rick. You are one of the most honest and wholesome people on RUclips these days and I am so excited to see you be able to obtain something you have loved your whole life dude. What a freaking score!!!! Love you and your fam all the way from Australia. :)
I don't know how many times I've seen this video its such a great achievement. I'm glad to say I've been here since the beginning you are the reason I took all my consoles out that I had in boxes and clean them, connect them, display and play them in the mancave.
I'm super excited for you Rick! I absolutely love the store. There's nothing like owning a piece of your childhood. Good luck with everything my friend.
This is amazing Rick. You deserve this for all you do. I really want to see your sons reaction to this place....I can't even imagine, growing up with a dad who owns a store like this, learning about it all, understanding it. You are truly blessed brother, I am so excited for this new chapter to unfold. I'm really happy the NES Pursuit was there with you/has been there with and for you too.
Congrats in the purchase and can't wait to see the new things to come as well. Great literally meeting you moments ago also and lets keep the gaming life ALIVE!!!!
Been watching you for awhile now and I'm so happy for you man. Store looks awesome and has so much potential for expansion, content, vlogs, etc. Even contests where fans could be invited to the store to pick up their favourite game or have a budget if they won and be featured in a video. Could throw a party with some other RUclipsrs, play some retro games as a "Game Off"... The possibilities are endless!
Congratulations on the store!!! It's my dream to one day have my own retro game store. I found your channel and I've been watching your content to get pointers!!!
My opinion, You need a lounge area! A place where people can come in and relax and play on their handhelds or maybe set up a few TV's to hook up retro game systems. That would be cool. Congrats Rick this is a collectors dream and you've achieved it!
Genuinely happy for you, sir. Doing things the right way, exercising kindness, taking chances with people who love you… it looks like a dream come true. I hope you get to love this whole experience for as long as you want it!
I have shopped here for the last 15 years and this is my absolute favorite game store. The employees are what honestly made me keep coming back. Everyone that works there is super nice and they go above and beyond to help you.
I can't even express how deeply I admire how you've taken a hobby you have a passion for and have turned it into such a successful career. I only started watching your channel about a year or so ago with $10 game collection season 1, but quickly turned into a big fan of your content. Just... the biggest of kudos for you man.. seriously. Keep on kicking butt out there man, we'll keep watching and rooting for you :)
Been watching you for two years now, so excited for you. Congratulations retro on all your success, how amazing it is that you have a whole store in retrospect to the channels success. I love all your ideas for the new store, if I could offer one suggestion. It would be to consolidate the whole board game section into a tower because of the massive ceiling space that you have. Don't take that part of the business out of the store, just use the height to keep it as part of the business. Love everything you're doing, can't wait to see the future success!
Rick good on ya man! I'm proud of ya man! I found your channel first, and then Pixel Game Squad. I've been subbed to both of you ever since! Would love to visit your store one day!!!!
Congrats on the store! The size and order of the store is so clean. A lot of used game stores are very old looking and have narrow entrances or have no space. The way that it is set up, seems to guide you in without having anything get in the way. It looks alive. It looks like the games are given respect. Its amazing.
Only just caught this video. 6months old now, but congratulations Rick, awesome brother. I'm in little old New Zealand but dream of having a store like this for children and retro fans. Thank you for inspiring the dreams Rick!
I've been shopping at Game Point off and on ever since I was in high school, so early 2000s. It's changed hands several times over the years but it's always been the used game store in Conway, AR with the best employees and the nicest shopping experience. Glad to see it's still in loving hands.
Congratulations. You can tell how much passion you have for it. Wish you the best and when I'm in the area will make a point to pass by. Your living your dream!
I ve now watched this episode 2 times! What a inspiration to buy the store that you go to and now its yours is crazy! From one youtuber and collector to another.....congrats again
What I love about the store is it isn't just your generic store filled dwith loads of games. It feels more like a huge version of a home games room. All the statues and other touches are what makes the difference and show that you're passionate to the customer. Personally I'd keep the board games, or scale down. Put in tmnt and other retro as it's your passion, but be careful not to become a toy store. Also if possible change up the museum section and the statues a bit a couple of times a year to get people to keep coming back, maybe even throw in a few pinball machines. Can't wait to see how things evolve and best of luck with everything.
You know what would be so DOPE … if you take the stuff out the cases by the wall scrolls and put like a virtual boy in there with like a pic or video of a commercial . And So on with the other cases …. I was born in 1996 and is channel always teaches me more about the past. And crazy how you couldn’t save game data on certain game . You would really have to grind . Congratulations again
The coolest thing about your store is the size. It is so tall and makes it seem more alive, I suppose, less cramped. It is sick. If it was me, I'd add, if possible, a action figure/toy section.
Rick, congrats on the new store. I am so glad you will be able to continue bringing nostalgic happiness to everyone … not only through your RUclips channel, but also through the store. Good luck, man!
That's was an emotional tear jerker 😢 Been here from the start and you have came such a long way in such a short space of time, that's store is amazing 😁 So happy for you and huge congratulations again! So excited to watch and be in on your journey 🤩
Had me tearing up big time 😭 but happy tears. Congrats, it's great to see good things happen to good people. Hope you can continue to dedicate yourself to the channel and look forward to following the journey
So happy for you, this is a super awesome opportunity! 100% definitely replace all those new board games section with multiple rows of shelves of all the vintage/retro toys and collectibles that you find. A real life, non faked retail store channel with real buying/selling and trading with stuff available that you find in your videos would be very interesting, taking the channel to a whole 'nother live level. Keep up the great work.
I’ve been watching your content for a little over a year now and seeing this made me oddly proud. I see is a guy who works hard, has a passion for what he does, knows his stuff and has a deep respect for the community he’s a part of taking the next steps towards becoming a true legend.
Congrats on the store man! Big fan. Would love to see vintage toys instead of board games! I have a small TMNT collection myself, and love seeing them displayed!
this place looks amazing! you're doing a really good thing for the people who come in there. not just going into a game store, but having an experience. awesome dude. to replace the board game section, I would put retro toys and action figures there for sure. place sounds like Heaven lol
So happy for you Rick can’t wait to see what the future holds been here since around the start and I can’t believe how far you’ve come I’ll stay as long as the journey continues and I’ll enjoy every second of it!
Your new store looks so amazing Rick! So excited for you. You truly deserve it. I'm looking forward to seeing what all you do with the store. You have such an awesome place!! 🎉👏💙
When Riff said 3 years I was like what it's been that long already? I remember when your channel had like 3k subs and your content was phenomenal for such a young channel. Keep up the great work Rick I hope I get to travel to see your store soon!
A good friend of mine owns a comic and game store. He's always done well with Magic and Pokemon cards. A good portion of those sales come from having a dedicated place for the customers to meet up and play. Makes it another destination. Rather than Jim's questionable "secondary" use of socks, smelling basement, they can come there and buy new packs, drinks and snacks from you. He also diversified into high end RC cars. Which has done amazing for him. They are always breaking and buying new parts. Congrats on the store by the by.
helped the original owner, Craig, set this place up with my buddy Aaron back when they first opened. so glad to see this getting some exposure after all these years! the atmosphere has always been IMMACULATE in this place!
Just started following your channel out of a random RUclips search and I’m so thankful I found it and I’m super stoked for you man! Congratulations! God Bless you dude. This is so awesome. I’m vicariously living a dream out through you and your channel.
I remember finding your retro page on Instagram then you made a story “hey starting a RUclips channel come check it out” now a huge game store! What a journey,good shit happening to good people love it 🤘🤘(get rid of the board games lol)
awesome Rick really excited for you, the store is fantastic ,the statues are amazing. I always loved this store when you visited in other videos when it wasn't yours

@@retrorick long time sub. Love the channel. Congrats. Just curious. What’s the average weekly sales?
You should ask people who come into the store what to do with the board games. If there a community of people who go to the store for them, then you should consider keeping them.

I'm so happy for you. This was such a heartfelt video and it's very clear that you are the right person for that game store.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can see the Passion you have for it.
I know you'll do great!!!! Hope to visit your store one day!!
Congrats Rick! Stay humble and stay hungry. Hard work pays off and humility will keep you grounded.
Wooooow! Now I'm EXTRA glad I visited this place last time came through!
Congratulations! I can't even imagine how you feel. Excited to see the journey evolve and continue.
Congratulations. You can tell how much passion you have for it. Wish you the best and when I'm in the area will make a point to pass by. Your living your dream!
I ve now watched this episode 2 times! What a inspiration to buy the store that you go to and now its yours is crazy! From one youtuber and collector to another.....congrats again

Can't wait to see how things evolve and best of luck with everything.
I can't believe I teared up watching a retro gaming channel... Again! I'm happy for you man.
You know what would be so DOPE … if you take the stuff out the cases by the wall scrolls and put like a virtual boy in there with like a pic or video of a commercial . And So on with the other cases …. I was born in 1996 and is channel always teaches me more about the past. And crazy how you couldn’t save game data on certain game . You would really have to grind .
Congratulations again
Huge accomplishment. Make the community proud and keep spreading the retro love
My son and I love the channel and we'll continue to watch the new adventures.
The coolest thing about your store is the size. It is so tall and makes it seem more alive, I suppose, less cramped. It is sick.

Rick, congrats on the new store. I am so glad you will be able to continue bringing nostalgic happiness to everyone … not only through your RUclips channel, but also through the store. Good luck, man!
Been following you for about a year now I think, and you really deserve this opportunity!!
That's was an emotional tear jerker 😢 Been here from the start and you have came such a long way in such a short space of time, that's store is amazing 😁 So happy for you and huge congratulations again! So excited to watch and be in on your journey 🤩
As someone who's been following your channel for awhile super excited for you. Looking forward to seeing your success with the store!
Had me tearing up big time 😭 but happy tears. Congrats, it's great to see good things happen to good people. Hope you can continue to dedicate yourself to the channel and look forward to following the journey
So happy for you, this is a super awesome opportunity! 100% definitely replace all those new board games section with multiple rows of shelves of all the vintage/retro toys and collectibles that you find. A real life, non faked retail store channel with real buying/selling and trading with stuff available that you find in your videos would be very interesting, taking the channel to a whole 'nother live level. Keep up the great work.
I’ve been watching your content for a little over a year now and seeing this made me oddly proud. I see is a guy who works hard, has a passion for what he does, knows his stuff and has a deep respect for the community he’s a part of taking the next steps towards becoming a true legend.
I remember watching your first videos and now you have your own Game Store. Dreams come true!
Congrats on the store man! Big fan. Would love to see vintage toys instead of board games! I have a small TMNT collection myself, and love seeing them displayed!
I’m so pleased for you dude… you have the most amazing opportunity ahead of you and I can’t wait to watch what you do… good luck!!!
This is so amazing! So glad I found your channel. You inspire me to continue to collect and keep the hunt alive for all things.
this place looks amazing! you're doing a really good thing for the people who come in there. not just going into a game store, but having an experience. awesome dude. to replace the board game section, I would put retro toys and action figures there for sure. place sounds like Heaven lol
So happy for you Rick can’t wait to see what the future holds been here since around the start and I can’t believe how far you’ve come I’ll stay as long as the journey continues and I’ll enjoy every second of it!
I would Road Trip all the way from So Cal just to visit you’re store and to visit the Legend Retro Rick !! Much love and support you’re way man !

Very happy for you Retro. Glad you are able to follow your dreams. Congratulations, you will do great!!!
Your new store looks so amazing Rick! So excited for you. You truly deserve it. I'm looking forward to seeing what all you do with the store. You have such an awesome place!! 🎉👏💙
Congratulations I am 50 years old and I look up to you man thanks
When Riff said 3 years I was like what it's been that long already? I remember when your channel had like 3k subs and your content was phenomenal for such a young channel. Keep up the great work Rick I hope I get to travel to see your store soon!
A good friend of mine owns a comic and game store. He's always done well with Magic and Pokemon cards. A good portion of those sales come from having a dedicated place for the customers to meet up and play. Makes it another destination. Rather than Jim's questionable "secondary" use of socks, smelling basement, they can come there and buy new packs, drinks and snacks from you. He also diversified into high end RC cars. Which has done amazing for him. They are always breaking and buying new parts. Congrats on the store by the by.
Congrats! This store in particular looks incredible. Would love to visit someday.
helped the original owner, Craig, set this place up with my buddy Aaron back when they first opened. so glad to see this getting some exposure after all these years! the atmosphere has always been IMMACULATE in this place!
Huge congrats man, love your content and down to earth personality, keep rockin
That's probably the cleanest, most well organized game store I've ever seen. I need one like that in my area.
Crazy clean store, the sellers loved that place and you'll do it justice! Congrats and all the luck be yours. Well deserved.
So happy for you have been watching for 2 years and enjoying every moment 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Just started following your channel out of a random RUclips search and I’m so thankful I found it and I’m super stoked for you man! Congratulations! God Bless you dude. This is so awesome. I’m vicariously living a dream out through you and your channel.
I remember finding your retro page on Instagram then you made a story “hey starting a RUclips channel come check it out” now a huge game store! What a journey,good shit happening to good people love it 🤘🤘(get rid of the board games lol)
awesome Rick really excited for you, the store is fantastic ,the statues are amazing. I always loved this store when you visited in other videos when it wasn't yours
