Hey, thanks for coming to visit Hawaii! We have another second-hand store here called Eco Town, it's also in Honolulu and has a pretty good variety of retro games (and better pricing than Book Off most of the time). Retro Max at the swap meet is also awesome!
Book Off (Japanese owned company) in Hawaii actually started off as a used book store inside the old Shirokiya (another Japanese store) in Ala Moana. From there they established stand-alone locations. The thing they were known for when they first started buying/selling used stuff is they only accepted items in great/really good condition.
I live in Hawaii amd Bookoff is the bomb; some of the best deals for used blu rays and 4ks, also a decent selection of used games, consoles and collectables. I hope they never go away!! I visit the Pearl Ridge one whenever I’m at that mall.
I lived on Oahu for 35 years now and I'm so thankful for stores like Book Off. There is also the Swap Meet which is held at the Aloha Stadium, there is few vendors that sell retro games there. We also have another chain of stores called Eco-Town which sells older games but their selection isn't as big as Book Off. Great video.
lol. Wished I’ve known about this earlier. You visited the Book Off location close to where I live. Literally the building I live in is in the shot behind you. Definitely stop by again. 😁
I was at that same Bookoff on Aug 28th for the 9 day Oahu trip with family. I was glad to reserve some time and go there. Picked up a few games including a Vita game (Persona Golden).
Prince Vegeta 😂, good Manga/Anime to start with are the ones from the 90s Akira, Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell, Vampire hunter D, Project A-ko, Guyver etc.
I hope you have fun and enjoying your time there! I also love the retro game store looks cool, I'd love to go there myself and check it out hopefully one day 🙏 & buy me some stuff while I'm there 😜♥️🎮🕹️🎉
I know you're having lots of fun just try not to think about when the unfortunate ends up happening which means going back to reality that's going to suck really bad cuz I know you was having a blast secondly most importantly everyone needs that time away and I know for a fact that you're living it up are you doing what you love to do with hitting up gaming spots 💜💜💜💜💜
Hey QueenG!!! I Love this simple one stop game store video! A good number of choices You showed also! You picked out a lot of good games on the portable side! I saw that Smart Fortwo at the end of Your video. I had one of those a few years back. Fun little cars! Only 70 horsepower! Not terribly fast on the highway but believe it or not, decently quick in the city! Ok, so anime; I still Love Gundam Wing, Initial D, Dragon Ball Z, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Patlabor, and Ghost in the Shell.. Those are just my favorites. Great video as always Queen!!! 👌I’m already looking forward to the next one! 😁 See You then!! 👍😎
Cool pickups Queen, I didn’t know if you’re aware but we got a bunch of Book-offs here in SoCal also. You could always peep them out whenever you’re down here!
Awesome video Queen and looking beautiful as always,u definitely pick up some nice games especially ninja gaiden and contra4,I've beaten contra before but I believe it was the first one on the nintendo,hopefully one day u come visit San Antonio so I kick it with u but definitely come when they have a comic con or some other comic book event going on,alot of be pretty awesome and some they be alright but definitely have to check at least one them out😁
I’ve been to both and bookmans is infinitely better. 10 times the size, has basically every type of media, and better prices. Book off seems to match eBay prices on games so not super worth it. I miss bookmans.
I learned that a few weeks after I visited this store in Hawaii. Very looking forward to visiting these stores in Japan. The inventory they have is amazing 🤩💜
I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on your past videos. I see that you are a fan of one of my favorite retro arcade games of all time , Donkey Kong. Metal slug is also one of my favorites. Maybe because I can relate to the short characters 😂. All jokes aside, MS is just badass. 🙋♀️questions. Are you into sports games ? I play NBA 2K ( my obsession ) , and I'm still trying to master Madden NFL. I don't know about that one. Lol ! I should probably just stick to watching the games. Oh wait , I can't. My NY Giants suck. 😬
There’s a Book Off at one of the malls here. There’s usually some good finds there. I almost went on a shopping spree when I was there last week and only bought Funkos instead of also getting a Dreamcast. 😁
Hey Queen! I'm fairly new to your channel. But I literally have binge watched all of your videos. You're awesome!! He asked for suggestions you should try checking out JoJo's bizarre adventure you may like it. 1:55 the Dragon Ball Z character that your brother likes his name's. Again love your channel have my kids watching you bring a lot of my childhood back 💙💜
I was planning on this October. But I was waiting for the dates for the Nintendo Museum and Donkey Kong World at Universal. The museum dates are up, but getting tickets are difficult. So, my plan is 2025 😎

5:51 Wooly World is fun af! My son and I 100% complete it a few years back after we played Yoshi’s Crafted World. Great series
I miss toys n joys...
I miss toy's n joy in hawaii, that was where it was at.
I picked up a Japanese N64 game at this location with a toys n joys sticker on it
Eco Town has a selection of retro games. They sell a lot of other items such as camera gear, and vintage electronics.

Nice! Will look into the others when I’m back out that way in December. Thanks 💜
Bought CDs from here 2 weeks ago. Hope you enjoyed your stay here.
I did 💜
Final fight One on the GBA is awesome! Only version where you can use the street fighter Alpha 3 version of Guy and Cody 🙌🏼

This is so cool! They made the American BOOK-OFF look exactly like the Japanese ones. Very nice pickups, queen! :D
Right! Thank you! 🥳💜
Hope you're enjoying your time here! You're in my backyard now. Cool!
I bought a neogeo pocket with sonic the hedgehog in Honolulu back in 2000. Back then they did have an import gaming store that also had Japanese toys.
Great picks!
💜🙏🏾🤓

Hopefully you went to the Book off at Pearlridge mall. Bigger than that Waikiki store.
Damn! I haven’t been to that shop yet
I hope you have fun and enjoying your time there! I also love the retro game store looks cool, I'd love to go there myself and check it out hopefully one day 🙏 & buy me some stuff while I'm there 😜♥️🎮🕹️🎉
Manga thats dope to check out is Sandland by Akira Toriyama. It's also a Video game that got released a couple of months ago.
Thank you 💜

That store was packed to the brim with stuff…😮 looks like they were well organized though..👌🏽
Very well organized. I didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. Will definitely go back here the next time I’m out that way 👌🏾💜😎
Should have checked out the Pearlridge location too!
I hope your summer is going well. ☀️ ✨️ 💛 ☺️
I got bookmans it’s pretty cool
I’ve been to both and bookmans is infinitely better. 10 times the size, has basically every type of media, and better prices. Book off seems to match eBay prices on games so not super worth it. I miss bookmans.
Are you still out here in Honolulu? It’s cool to see fellow creators come out here and check out our retro stores
I want that hat. Hella clean
Me: oh nice model kits!
Her:"board games! "
Me: 🙏👏😐😂
*picks up Naruto manga* anime series, anime very cool!
Lol she called a manga, anime
You gotta visit Canada Queen. A lot of cool gems
Nice game choice 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes Bookoff is the best for buying retro games on Oahu
I’m actually in Honolulu right now but will have to pass on the store, trip is already expensive enough lol
Funny, my wife was in that store yesterday looking for games for me haha. Thanks for coming out, woulda been cool to meet ya though!
They have a look of good stuff over there, surprised you didn't bought the whole damn shop. 😆
I thought about it. 😆😎😉
Fun Fact, Book off (the store itself) is Japanese based store and originated from Japan obviously
I learned that a few weeks after I visited this store in Hawaii. Very looking forward to visiting these stores in Japan. The inventory they have is amazing 🤩💜
Yea it's pronounced mah-n-gah and it'd be a good place to start since both are from Japan.
1:48 That was Gunpla model kits from the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam
I’m not that big a fan of Book Off, but that one is the nicer of the two imo.
Nice video beautiful queen❤

Too bad toys and joys closed down I remember going there for games all the time
I wish Toys and Joys Kaimuki was still around 😔
Dope!
There’s a Book Off at one of the malls here. There’s usually some good finds there. I almost went on a shopping spree when I was there last week and only bought Funkos instead of also getting a Dreamcast. 😁
Which funkos did you get?? 🤔😉🤷🏾♀️
