    Great video as always Caleb! Always a pleasure to see you go to retro stores in all areas of the country. However I gotta say I was disappointed that they didn't have any copies of My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure. As I'm sure you know by now it's truly one of the greatest games of this generation but I'll just assume it's constantly flying off the shelves and that's why you never see any copies of it. Looking forward to you purchasing it one of these videos!

    Wish we had cool stores like these. We have a few in the country, but not many.
    Most are just generic toy stores that sell games, funko pops, pokemon, lego and such. Aslong as it's new released basicly.
    Nothing special and most of them are going bankrupt.

Maybe title this video "the best video game stores in Houston" rather than attributing them to the entire state.
