Coincidentally, i was talking with a group of friends about old shows we use to watch, and nobody seemed to remember Bonkers. It was definitely in my top 3-5 favorite cartoons growing up. It's nice to see someone else who appreciates it as well.
This dude has worked so hard on his TH-cam channel and I’ve been watching for about a year now and he deserves all his new subscribers with his hard work and dedication
Sege vids always trip me out cause so many of the chuckle heads I hang out with at events are in them. I've still gotta get my coverage of this event together. What a fun event! Really dope pick ups.
@@lilhater.1023 yeah, that is very true. Graded games are just sad lol. But Retro Rick is still kinda supporting WATA since they sent him the Mario bros 3 graded… but at the same time if I was sent a Mario bros 3 cib sealed I would probably do the same if not more lol
Great video Retro Rick. I enjoy seeing all these vintage toys and games. Great event looks like tons of fun and a lot of great people. I’m glad a lot of people were showing you love and blessed you with some gifts. I’m. Sucker for NES so my favorite pickups were those home alone boxed games. Great deal. Looking forward to the next.
You have done that intro monologue like what, a hundred times now? I'm impressed that it never gets repetitive, robotic or stale. Like, it sounds fresh and sincere each time. Even though you say the exact same thing, it doesn't sound like it. To me it's proof that this channel exists because of actual passion. Just wanted to take a moment and appreciate that lol.
Super cool vid, Remy Lebeau has always been my dude. Glad to see another fan, trying to get my room set up for vids of hunts and eBay sales and repairs in. You keep me motivated to push forward, thank you for keeping it fun and real.
i’m diggin’ the new format with the transitions and ‘did you knows’. i’ve been struggling pretty hard with depression recently and in turn have a lack of motivation to get out and go to my local thrift shops, but every time i watch your videos i get inspired to continue the hunt! thanks rick
So I have been inspired by your channel and just went by a Salvation Army for the first time today on the hunt! Found a PS3 The Bigs 2 for $4 complete that is selling for $15-$18 on ebay. Super hyped to hit such a good flip on my first time out. Then went by Walmart and found some clearance that is good profit. Already listed it all, and even took my oldest son (under 10) along for the hunt. Life lessons! Thanks for the channel and the inspiration.
After watching this video when you guys all gathered up at the arcade made me miss the late 80s and early 90s; in essence, I miss my childhood and this video gave me that nostalgic feeling. Thanks Rick!
Man that convention looked sick!! Never been to one. Now I want to go check one out sometime. Also nice pick ups love that DK figure. The Home Alone NES games looked in nice shape. Home alone is one of my favorite movies from my childhood.
You found so many awesome things there. The gameboy color in box, the giant DK figure, the turtle figures, and the freaking He-Man handheld. Super score, I would love all those items. Great finds and great episode! Keep it up Rick!
8:10 ToyBiz Marvel action figure, and released really late in ToyBiz's lifespan (they stopped producing Marvel figs in 2006). Toy collectors use the term "mint on card" to describe an unopened action figure. That's a real minty, perfect card and figure.
I haven't been to a convention yet but always wanted to go to one. Such a great looking place with people all interested in nostalgia from the 80's, 90's and beyond. I think my favorite thing you found had to be that gameboy color in the box. The donkey Kong was a close 2nd for me. Great job with the vid Rick! 👊
Haha dude, I know I’m late to the party here, but I meant to say this A YEAR AGO - DUDE, I freakin loved Bubsy as a kid! The puns?! Come onnnnnnn 😆 I still say “what could Pawsibly go wrong?!” in that voice to this day. Great pickup, uh, last year. 😆 (And no me photobombing last year is a plus 😐)
“Very average place to eat”…that pretty much sums up Quaker Steak and Lube. It’s like a family friendly Hooters that sounds like an oil change place. All of them by me opened and closed within a few months.
Hi Retro! I thought you might like this, I found a loose Pokedex in a second hand shop for 50p! Then months later I found the backing card from the packaging in my parents attic! 😉
One of my favorite items from my early childhood is definitely my Ghostbusters board game. I still have faint glimpses of that year’s Christmas when I got that present. Honestly I had to be only about 5 years old. Such a cool board game with the four rooms and the staircase. Hands down my favorite board games.
Really cool, I liked those Ronin Warrior action figures your guy Chance had at his booth. Loved that show as a kid, happy it's on Prime for free. Also I remember a lot of series got in on that Polly Pocket style of toys, Mighty Max, TMNT, also Star Trek had some. I had one for Star Trek TNG the Enterprise and I think there a few others for both TNG and TOS.
I loved bubsy too! Had it on sega. And i def remember playing that street fighter in the backseat while driving to the beach as a little kid. Also remember opening that pokedex ha. Looks like a great time.
Woahhh I had that TMNT polly pocket toy when I was a kid. I thought it looked familiar but as soon as you opened it I knew. Wow I completely forgot about that thing.
I'm so jealous over the pokedex, that's something I really wanted as a kid. I can't believe he got them so cheap😳 originally. You got a great deal though considering it's hard to find and it was sealed. I love the donkey Kong figure, that dealer was so generous. What a great price plus the TMNTs for 20 Wow he was awesome. 😁😍 I love the gameboy too, I'm always trying to find more Gameboys. I would have picked that up at that. Price too, it was in such great condition. If Conventions ever open up near me I will have to go to one one day 😊
Wow, I've got that Pokedex, sealed, awesome that I kept it. That's your best buy from the show Bubsy on Jaguar is great. Wish I didn't sell my Atari Jaguar and games.
I always wanted to go to a retro gaming convention, unfortunately we don't have alot of video game convention's, swap meets or Flea Markets here in Canada. I had two of the Mighty Max type TMNT toys (Leonardo Turtle base and Baseball Raphael).
I actually have a sealed Pokedex as well! Funny story with it too. My parents had bought it on sale when I was a kid in anticipation to give it to me as a Christmas gift. Before Christmas came they found a used one at a garage sale for cheap so they gave me that (since I was with them when they found it) and forgot about the other sealed one in their closet for years😂 I eventually found it and have held onto it for the past few years and I still have the other used one as well
Honestly, the Goodwills here in South Carolina are all like that. I find things video game related maybe two to three times a YEAR... the drought is insane here. Some local thrift stores have a few gems every once in a blue moon though.
I used to play Bubsy on Genesis a lot as a kid too. I know it gets a lot of hate, and I know why, but as a kid it's fun to run around to get to the end of the levels.
great vid rick good to see u having a blast adding to the collection that pokedex was a sweet find abso bargain and that donkey kong is gotta be one of my faves xx
I was actually in SC during the convention seeing family but I was busy so I didn't get the chance to go to Greenville. Scored a ton of games at the Salvation Army in Irmo though. They had stacks of pretty good 360 and Wii games for only 2.99 a piece
Thank you for the Bonkers gift man 😍 I really do appreciate it and appreciate you!!!
Coincidentally, i was talking with a group of friends about old shows we use to watch, and nobody seemed to remember Bonkers. It was definitely in my top 3-5 favorite cartoons growing up. It's nice to see someone else who appreciates it as well.
I'm actually really glad you didn't already have that Gambit figure. It was great meeting you!
That Gambit was neat my dude!
Goat
This dude has worked so hard on his TH-cam channel and I’ve been watching for about a year now and he deserves all his new subscribers with his hard work and dedication
Man thank you for the kind words…that means the world and thank you for the support!!!
Sege vids always trip me out cause so many of the chuckle heads I hang out with at events are in them. I've still gotta get my coverage of this event together. What a fun event! Really dope pick ups.
Dude!! That’s a goodwill that we go to almost weekly!!
Hey buddy! We’re glad you were able to put that suitcase to good use! It cost us a pretty penny 😉
WATA and Heritage are a SHAM!!
Lol that is true but I just thought it was funny that this was top comment
Kyle S. Is a sham ! Beware
@@lilhater.1023 they are a sham tho
@@winko8484 yea anybody who buys a graded game is a sucker. Many people will still use it as an outlet to make money though 🤙🏼
@@lilhater.1023 yeah, that is very true. Graded games are just sad lol. But Retro Rick is still kinda supporting WATA since they sent him the Mario bros 3 graded… but at the same time if I was sent a Mario bros 3 cib sealed I would probably do the same if not more lol
Dude i could sit in your retro room for hours just remembering my childhood nice to watch it grow
I haven’t seen a video game at my goodwill in years. I go right when they open too. You guys are so lucky to see games in the wild.
Great video Retro Rick. I enjoy seeing all these vintage toys and games. Great event looks like tons of fun and a lot of great people. I’m glad a lot of people were showing you love and blessed you with some gifts. I’m. Sucker for NES so my favorite pickups were those home alone boxed games. Great deal.

Wow that means so much! Thank you for taking the time to let me know…I really appreciate it!!
I'm so jelly of Gambit! As a little girl my friend would talk about marrying New Kids on the Block.
I'd scoff and say no way, Gambit is where it's at!
Gambit was always my favorite X-Men character too!
“He gave me this, for my son”
-Retro Rick
😀😀😀
Just found your channel. I was born in 86 so early 90s was my toy era. Makes me feel like a child again watching these haha. Good memories.
Super cool vid, Remy Lebeau has always been my dude. Glad to see another fan, trying to get my room set up for vids of hunts and eBay sales and repairs in. You keep me motivated to push forward, thank you for keeping it fun and real.
Damn that turtle that opens up into a base just triggered a crazy nostalgia hole for me
i’m diggin’ the new format with the transitions and ‘did you knows’. i’ve been struggling pretty hard with depression recently and in turn have a lack of motivation to get out and go to my local thrift shops, but every time i watch your videos i get inspired to continue the hunt! thanks rick

Ricky with the deals! For some reason scoring all those turtles figures for $20 I thought was the highlight 😆
I loved that Masters of the Universe Handheld. Lots of great memories playing it.
Love the Back To The Future NES game! The artwork alone is just something I love!
Man that convention looked sick!! Never been to one. Now I want to go check one out sometime. Also nice pick ups love that DK figure. The Home Alone NES games looked in nice shape. Home alone is one of my favorite movies from my childhood.

Love the Pokedex! I still have mine from when I was a kid that is loose but in fantastic shape. Would love to get some of those early toys sealed.
Yup Gambit hands down #1 X-Men ever
Looks like you had so much fun through all these videos! Hope to make it next year!
My birthday is coming up and my wife found that birthday Leo to put on my cake. I love the turtles. I'm just a grown kid lol.
Awesome scores as always!! Can’t wait til next year! It was great finally meeting everyone in person!
I'm wearing that same sonic shirt today! :D Awesome pick ups by the way. One day, I hope to visit an event like this.
That Bonkers box is bonkers! 🤩
8:10 ToyBiz Marvel action figure, and released really late in ToyBiz's lifespan (they stopped producing Marvel figs in 2006). Toy collectors use the term "mint on card" to describe an unopened action figure. That's a real minty, perfect card and figure.
Love your channel. It brings me back to my childhood . You find crazy finds.
I haven't been to a convention yet but always wanted to go to one. Such a great looking place with people all interested in nostalgia from the 80's, 90's and beyond. I think my favorite thing you found had to be that gameboy color in the box. The donkey Kong was a close 2nd for me. Great job with the vid Rick! 👊
Love the video. Lots of awesome nostalgia stuff Back to the Future,TMNT, MOTU and Bubsy are awesome. Feels like lots of my favs in one video.
Shout out to Chance. What a boss to hook up Rick with those sweet deals.
Hi retro Rick how are doing my friend and what an awesome finds you found and keep up the great work on your channel.❤️
Haha dude, I know I’m late to the party here, but I meant to say this A YEAR AGO - DUDE, I freakin loved Bubsy as a kid! The puns?! Come onnnnnnn 😆 I still say “what could Pawsibly go wrong?!” in that voice to this day. Great pickup, uh, last year. 😆
(And no me photobombing last year is a plus 😐)
Great video, that one guy, think his name was chance, was friggin awsome, what a lovely young man
“Very average place to eat”…that pretty much sums up Quaker Steak and Lube. It’s like a family friendly Hooters that sounds like an oil change place. All of them by me opened and closed within a few months.
That donkey kong figure is legit lol. So cool to have big figures like that to display around.
Love this channel. Always a pleasure to see one of your videos. Such great content. cant get enough of it.
That TMNT Polly Pocket hit me hard. I had several different versions. Too bad it didn't have the small turtles with their weapon they're so cute!
That place looks like heaven! All those cartridge games 😍 Wish I was there 🎮
Good to see you man allways look happy my friend 😊
Awesome video, the convention had so much amazing stuff. The Masters of the Universe and Pokemon handheld game's are super cool
I’ve been watching you for a couple years now. And I’m super excited to see you but 100k subs and get that play button! let’s go RICK!
I used to have that undercover Donatello.. pretty jealous you found that.
Cheers Mate 🇦🇺 felt like I went along with ya lol love the content
I've been to that goodwill before. It's always that empty lol
Goodwills here in the Carolinas are generally terrible - most of their inventory goes to their used game/electronics store in Charlotte, The Grid.
Hi Retro! I thought you might like this, I found a loose Pokedex in a second hand shop for 50p! Then months later I found the backing card from the packaging in my parents attic! 😉
Awesome Pickups Retro love the Donkey Kong figure

Gambit figure hands down best score.
Got the golden axe arcade 1up. I love it
Woahhh I had that TMNT polly pocket toy when I was a kid. I thought it looked familiar but as soon as you opened it I knew. Wow I completely forgot about that thing.
that Goodwill you stopped at, is exactly what I see around me. Absolutely nothing!
Bubsy was one of only 3 games that i enjoyed on my Jaguar. Great get!
hi Retro, hi everyone, " Gambit, very cool
going to have to get that myself", :)
I'm so jealous over the pokedex, that's something I really wanted as a kid. I can't believe he got them so cheap😳 originally. You got a great deal though considering it's hard to find and it was sealed.
I love the donkey Kong figure, that dealer was so generous. What a great price plus the TMNTs for 20

If Conventions ever open up near me I will have to go to one one day 😊
Great con retro rick. Took me back to good times gameboy color, pokemon pokedex, power rangers and ninja turtles can't beat that #90skid
Man I got super hype when I saw that Earthbound CIB. As an NC resident I'm pissed I didn't know about it!
The DK figure is so cool! Looks like you had a lot of fun there!
That TMNT Polly pocket is dope! I have a few Pokémon ones from my childhood I love keeping around as well.
Wow, I've got that Pokedex, sealed, awesome that I kept it. That's your best buy from the show
Bubsy on Jaguar is great. Wish I didn't sell my Atari Jaguar and games.
I used to have one of those Pokedex's. Love the channel. Didn't get to make it to the event. Hope to see you next time.
,my parents bought that game boy color when I was a kid. That exact model!!!
Welcome to South Carolina. When I heard you were in Greenville I laughed because I have been to all those Goodwills and they are awful.
Awesome Retro Video Games
I always wanted to go to a retro gaming convention, unfortunately we don't have alot of video game convention's, swap meets or Flea Markets here in Canada. I had two of the Mighty Max type TMNT toys (Leonardo Turtle base and Baseball Raphael).
I own a Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind SNES and play it all most every day hehe
Greenville rep here! Heyyyooooh! Welcome to our town!
I will be there next year! Can’t believe I missed this convention.. I only live 45 mins away lol
I actually have a sealed Pokedex as well! Funny story with it too. My parents had bought it on sale when I was a kid in anticipation to give it to me as a Christmas gift. Before Christmas came they found a used one at a garage sale for cheap so they gave me that (since I was with them when they found it) and forgot about the other sealed one in their closet for years😂 I eventually found it and have held onto it for the past few years and I still have the other used one as well

That sf handheld is awesome congrats on your success
The way I popped when I saw that Pokédex in the package!! Gosh I miss mine
Definitely that DK is the prize of the show!!! Nice find.
great vid rick good to see u having a blast adding to the collection that pokedex was a sweet find abso bargain and that donkey kong is gotta be one of my faves xx
Dang nice Bubsy find. I have a couple Jaguar games myself but no Bubsy
I had one of those TMNT Polly Pocket things! Totally forgot about those!
That DK is sweet. Nice pickup!
Love the video Rick keep the good work and more videos comeing I'll keep which from your fan JJ
“He gave me this…. for my son!”
Yeah that donkey Kong looks beautiful, 60 was a steal, great video.
I was actually in SC during the convention seeing family but I was busy so I didn't get the chance to go to Greenville. Scored a ton of games at the Salvation Army in Irmo though. They had stacks of pretty good 360 and Wii games for only 2.99 a piece
I have that same donkey kong! It’s such a sick collection piece! 😍
Oh my gosh I would have died to see you at my Goodwill! Looked like the one in Greer! No way.
Sheesh every time I see your channel (and i watch every vid) your up a couple thousand subs. Your on fire man keep the streak alive!
That DK figure is awesome!!!
Awesome video man! Can't believe its almost been 2 months since SEGE
Nice pokedex, held on to mine long ago, still works
I’m from Greenville. That Goodwill hasn’t been good in about 4 years. So picked over always
