Thank you and thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!

It was a blast! Gun Nac is a really cool game, I’m stoked that I have it in the set now! I hope you can find a copy for a good deal and add it to your collection!

Thanks brother! It was great to get to hang out! The best part of coming down for these is getting to hang out with you guys. Can’t wait for convention season next year so I can get to do it again! 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for being a part of it Ben! Thanks so much, it was such a great time and so well done it made it easy to make a video of! 🤙🎉

That would be awesome, I think you would really enjoy it. They put on an awesome show!

Thank you! It was such a great time. Glad to get to hang out with you!

Your energy was missed bro! Can’t wait to get to hang out again soon my friend! 🙌🤙🎉

Thanks for being a part of it! I agree my friend, I loved the convention and the adventure. But the moments that mean the most are the ones like when we all piled into RNG’s car and went for lunch. I feel so lucky that I get to spend time hanging out and visiting with you guys. That’s what makes it all for me. I’ll see you again soon I’m sure! 🔥🙌🎉

@@RetrocartCollector perfectly said!

Was great to see ya bro! My mind is still blown with what you scored there! 🤯🙌🤙

I have been, it’s been such an amazing adventure getting to spend time with the amazing people in this community that it makes the flights worth it for me hands down.

Thanks again for always having epic items bro. 🎉🎉🎉

This will be the last trip for the year. Maybe 😂🤣. That song has been stuck in my head all week 😂 Nice! I just started my Pokemon journey the other day so I will for sure put those on my list once I’m done! I love level grinding so that sounds like a blast!

@@RetrocartCollector lol yes! Now and then a relaxing grind session to unplug your brain and enjoy a fantasy world is therapeutic. That song is now stuck in my head too! Please have a wonderful Sunday!

@@chriskoschik391 I totally agree with that. It is a super relaxing feeling for me too. Have a great Sunday my friend!

If there is ever a time we need to equip a battalion of swordsmen, we will be set up! 😂🤣😂

If your a fan of swords, do I know a convention for sword shopping 🤣😂 I’m fine with a sword booth, I’m cool with 2 sword booths… even at sword booth 4 I was like, “ok I can get behind this”… it was sword booths 6 and beyond I was left scratching my head 🤔🤣

Depending on what you would have been looking for, you probably didn’t miss out on a ton. You would have had a vast selection of swords tho! 🤣⚔️

It’s super sad that it’s going that way. Save the money and hit up the smaller shows, that’s where the good stuff is now.

@@RetrocartCollector Have you seen the place selling chocolatte fudge yet? Yes. At a comic con!

@@randallgoeswhere oh yeah! There was a full booth here selling beef jerky, and that’s just the one that stood out to me. 😂🤣 I have been to really good cons that have a couple of booths that sell cookies and snack foods, but those they normally at least try to theme the cookies to games or comics 😂🤣

@@RetrocartCollector Seriously. Smh.

Come on up brother! You know you’re always welcome here my friend! All the swords you could ever want! 😂🤣😂

@@RetrocartCollector Lol! We should definitely plan on something! Been awhile since I’ve been up there 🤷🏼‍♂️

Absolutely they are. I do feel bad for the vendors because at $800+ per table at this event ($1200+ per table at its sister show in Calgary). They probably feel that they have to try and make it up somewhere and bring prices up. The smaller shows around here seem to be a better value as a whole.

After booth 7 I think even BOTW Link would think it’s a little too much 😂🤣😂

I did the survey and made sure that if they read it, they will know what they did 😂🤣 Guess I’ll just have to make up for this one by coming to RetroWorld next year instead 🤔

Absolutely, I wish they would do a better job of screening the vendors to avoid so many that are just the same thing repeated.

That’s how I felt too. It just feels like they need to do a better job at a lot of things. I hope they can bring back the soul of the expo, but I’m not sure that they will. Thanks for watching!

Midwest is 100% on my list! It looks like an awesome event, hopefully I can fit it in next year but if not I’ll be there the following one.

Right! Just a sword and a hand full of tentacle fingers 😂🤣😂 thanks brother I appreciate that you think so!

Name change incoming! 😂🤣😂

😂🤣😂🤣😂⚔️🗡️⚔️

I’m really glad to hear you had a good time and were able to pick up some games! Hopefully they can make a slight course correction and bring back that ‘something’ that it has been missing the last couple of years. It’s still fun to check out, just depends on what you’re hunting for too. Thanks for watching!

Every year there are more and more here. It kinda feel like that’s what this is becoming 😂 One big flea market convention.

That’s probably a good idea. Some of the smaller and younger cons can be really great and a lot of fun but the ones owned by these big con groups seem to not be as worth it anymore. Yeah I probably should have been saying prop metal swords, hopefully no one takes me too seriously and tried to take any of those into “battle”! I mean, I would watch that for the laughs, but it wouldn’t be good for anyone 🤣😂🤣

@@RetrocartCollector freakin TH-cam deleted my original reply but sword fails videos are a thing....

😂 TH-cam search for sword fails engaged!

@@RetrocartCollector lols 😂

Yeah I agree, it's a bummer that some are turning into just anything goes. This one makes me glad I have the ability to come down there for some of the really fun ones with you folks!

Yeah I was there last year and it wasn’t as bad as this year. It just keeps going down hill which makes me sad. The Calgary one is a bit better I agree, but the vendor tables there are like $1200 a table for next year! That’s going to push out all the good small vendors and it will spiral I think. Glad this video was helpful for you!

Thanks so much for watching my friend! Glad you're enjoying the videos! I love yours too and wish I was as creative as you!!

I feel like the swords would be better suited if it was Edmonton London, which I assume isn’t London Ontario. 😂🤣 That’s a good question, i don’t think they are battle tested, so I’m not sure if they need to monitor the output of prop swords into the criminal underbelly… but hey, Ya never know 🤣

Riiiikkkkkeeeeeyyyyyyyy!

Thanks for watching brother!

That’s an awesome event for sure! I’ve been to the last couple and am planning to be there in November as long as the weather will let me!

I don't live close to Edmonton and Calgary but the YYC game collectors group is amazing.

@@jpixels4042 there are some really awesome folks in the game collecting community for sure!

That’s sucks that Dragons Con was like that for you! I totally think there are some of the younger cons that are still doing it right, it’s sad that some of the larger ones have changed so much. Thanks for watching my friends!

Yeah it’s not worth it if you’re looking for games. That’s awesome you’re up to 60 vendors now! I’ll absolutely try to be there if the weather lets it happen!

That’s too bad you were only breaking even there! I hope there’s a better option for you in the future!

Some of the art is amazing, artist alley represents some truly amazing folks. Totally too many swords, it was a running gag by the end, I guess if someone was looking for that it would be good.

That sucks! You would think it would be hard for a record show to not be about record but I guess it depends if they vet the vendors or it would be the same as this! Hopefully less swords there tho 😂🤣😂🤣

@@RetrocartCollector weirdly….a ton of swords 😂

“The Daily Double! This small sword was wielded by both Bilbo and Frodo.”

@@RetrocartCollector What is... the lead singer of The Police!

Thanks so much for watching!

That could have been the one. That’s awesome you got it from there at Price Charting value! That’s an awesome score! Me too, something bigger that was for the Retro crowd would be great to have here.

Right! I guess at least the people that went looking to defend their castle and buy a sword could do some good price comparisons 😂🤣😂🤣 It’s funny, Porchman was kind enough to help my nephew out and hook him up with a Wii, he even sent him some extras in the box. So he ended up with 2 copies of Mario Galaxy. 😂 He’s going to trade one copy to add to his collection, so that’s great anyways.

and these conventions usually arent just specificly gaming or comics, its everything with just vendors,itsjust curious to me!

Hey Bryce! So Fan Expo itself is a huge company that owns conventions all over North America. Here they use to be full of everything fan related. With lots of games, toys, comics and everything. They bought up a bunch of conventions all over the place and turned them all into Fan Expo events. Megacon Orlando is one of the ones they own. Sadly they have turned into what this is now. Which kind of sucks for everyone. This one use to be a cool event, but it’s not that great now.

@@Woodmanclassics super sword con!
