I don’t understand how these guys only have 100k subscribers compared to Rick and Phoenix. Riff and Ricky are top notch. The best imo. People are missing out!!
nowadays subscriber count doesn’t compare to popularity anymore. they’re all really good channels. i would have to say phoenix/rick gained subs at a luckier pace, all channels are top notch
I actually first discovered Retro Rick on Facebook from ads or something, and then discovered Phoenix Resale and PGS. I'd say some others may spend money or just time on other social media platforms which help them get discovered more. All of their channels are great.
My rental store as a kid had those stickers with the instructions, the art on the other side is some wrestler or something and it says "here's your instructions!" Our store just did clear cases for the games you rented and put those stickers on each game case. Big memories on those 😊
That classic Hobbit poster brought back some memories for me. I remember watching that in the waiting room at the Chiropractors office my mom used to work at when I was a kid. Crazy how nostalgia brings back long lost memories like that!
It's wild to see my old import collection on your channel! I traded all that stuff for the CIB SNES games he had at Kapow. I also built that Pepsi PS1 Kiosk. You can see it all on my channel! Great video
Definitely a great gaming haul. The rental cases were awesome, back in the day I remember one rental place had clear cases n another they were black. I think those white ones help the artwork pop just a bit more.
That’s my fave TCM the sequel with Dennis hopper the horror comedy was awesome…. If you travel down to La Mesa CA reanimated records has the Italian promo poster for the first film for sale I’ve been eying it for years lol
It was good. It managed to capture the spirit of the original but with a more 80s feel. I actually loved 3 too even though many say it is not that great.
Had an Atari Jaguar back in the day. And a Panasonic 3DO. Loved them. No way can I do that now. Wife would kill me. We stay with the PS4, and PS5, and Switch. My 14 y o Daughter, is starting to branch out, i got her to play “Scarlet Nexus” on the PS5. She’s loving it so far…❤❤😮😮 Scary thing is I had a job at Blockbuster during the N64 era, and people used to steal “Sculptor’s Cut” all the time. Makes me wonder if they just threw them in the garbage. There were at its height 9,800 Blockbuster Video’s. My store had 15 copies to rent, and usually every 2weeks they sent 5 more to replace those stolen… You would not believe what we were told to do with all the empties that didn’t have games, or movies, systems… ugh I believe PGA 97 or 98 for PlayStation, initial copies had the South Park pilot that Comedy Central saw and was only on the internet. But you didn’t access it through the PSOne. Only accessible by popping it in a windows disc drive
Damn @RetroRick that is a cool ringlight. I'm now waiting on your first make-up video. Maybe make a seperate channel for that type of content. Lipstick Rick would be nice! 😅
I'd love to find abandoned stores or run down or a store that is closing down for the soul purpose of getting new consoles and games, just like you are doing
I couldn't find an answer to a weird question I have so I thought I'd try here. I just found an OG Xbox with no controller, and I don't know if the disc is supposed to load instantly or because I'm at the date and time settings it won't??? Sorry if I'm confusing just wanted to know.
01:42 How do collectors feel about boxes which have been cut and put into VHS style clam cases? I'm personally not a fan. Also BATMAN Returns on the SNES (Konami) is an awesome Final Fight style game, but the Sega Genesis version is... "Not so good Al". Batman Returns on the Sega CD, on the other hand, is a technical marvel for that. It's how the Sega CD should have been utilized.... For redbook audio, and for its hardware scaling and rotation abilities. Not for FMV Kriss Kross Make my Video! :P
@@saradykes2286 hey did you get the console to match it off of Wayne? He has a minty one I got from the gamechasers in trade at a KC video game convention.
Oh? A "retro flippers get a haul" video in mid 2023? They're getting harder to find on TH-cam (thankfully). Most hobby stores, even if going out of business, have a handle on their inventory, and they track what its actually worth on the market. Occasionally you'll get owners who don't do this; who get into the business for the love of retro. These same people can't outlast pandemic conditions and have to fire sale to stave off backruptcy - I think this store falls into that category. The owner obviously has a rough idea of what they could get, but it looked like they needed money fast. Under normal circumstances, those NES boxes don't get sold for less than a tenth their market value.
Steller video Riff and Ricky! Y’all are always welcome!
-Matt.
It's funny how Rick gets weird when he's with the pixel game squad in a good way.
I don’t understand how these guys only have 100k subscribers compared to Rick and Phoenix.

Their channel and content is way more entertaining and better than Ricks or Resales hands down!!
PGS to 200K!!

Those rental boxes are amazing. Definitely nostalgic. Major jelly, dude.
That was a pretty awkward zoom-in at the end. Not gonna lie 😂
Was looking for this comment 😂
14:18 I think he zoomed in on purpose to show his little package. He likes to make fun of his friends.
funny AF LOL
Rental CIB should be a new category... It would be fun to have a whole collection in that condition.
Make sure you preserve those games well.
Same feels with the rental cases. Ricky is right on with old store smell, that is definitely a thing for me as well. Great pick ups boys
Same nostalgic feeling you get when you inhale the smell of a stack of old comics ❤
Cool, we got a Doctor Who reference (4:30 into the video), I used to have plans on knitting a Who scarf.
You rock for noticing that! Lol
My rental store as a kid had those stickers with the instructions, the art on the other side is some wrestler or something and it says "here's your instructions!" Our store just did clear cases for the games you rented and put those stickers on each game case. Big memories on those 😊
What a great store. You guys are always fun to watch.
Very smart that y’all bulk recorded at this store. This store deserves many videos and many more. 👏
The Walls in Back Are Painted, Along With Carpet Are Blockbuster Colors.. 👍👍👍
You guys hit 100k subscribers! Congrats, it’s been a long time coming 🎉

That outro sequence and music are just... epic!
Ahhhhh, so cool to finally see this! Snagged a couple of the rental case NES games on your whatnot sale!
That was an awesome deal on all those NES games! Wouldn’t even need to think at that price. Heck yeah! Great shop! 🍻🤙🏻
Why aren’t your videos over 500k-700k views? Or 1mil!? You guys are awesome! Thanks for the entertainment and education 😎
These guys never grew up and it looks like a hell of a good time hanging out with them... If I bring my lawn darts can I come to the party?
Riff checking out Curtis’s Hogg
I just picked up two snes games that came with rental cases with those stickers thats awesome to see, as I had never seen them before myself.
Pixel Game Squad And Boxes Of NES Games Amazing
That store has so much rad stuff! I want the tmnt roller skates lol.
I have that Slime Time bat watch! I got it for christmas in like 1988 and just got one again now. Pointless but cool!
That’s my fave TCM the sequel with Dennis hopper the horror comedy was awesome…. If you travel down to La Mesa CA reanimated records has the Italian promo poster for the first film for sale I’ve been eying it for years lol

Bro Riff, that NES rental box lot wuz 🤤 All the nostalgia synapses in my brain were firing!
🤘😁👍
Retro rick is apart of the retro squad at this rate and it’s great
5:39 EXTREME CLOSE-UP!! WHOAAAAAAAA
Those cases rock! Much better for display purposes, especially near a Genesis collection. Sweet!
So rad and such a blast of nostalgia!
That last shot lol
the store is loaded
And our inventory is always different!
So Cal must be the mecca for retro game hunting. It sure isn't Austin!
Dam Curtis cheeks now Curtis bulge outta line riff 😂
Another awsome episode in the books Keep up the awesome work
Great video as always, keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the next one
More to come! And thank you!
Love your content! Fan from the Philippines!

That ring can’t hide his southern charm
That TCM 2 display was sick!
Dang Retro Rick has really gone Hollywood on us now.😂
"It slimes you when it times to go" 😂😂😂😂
Let’s go Pickle Famequads ❤🎉
I just picked up that mario super show at a thrfit store for 50 cents!

He can't wait to edit that footage
Congratulations 100k🎉
Thank you so much 😀
These rental cases would look great on a wall like blockbuster
Ball shot..
Retro Rick vs Hotwheel Ricky
Retro Rick loves them hot mustard pants.
Great video! I think the stress of running a store is getting to Retro Rick’s upper lip and it’s time to consider shaving it off or Just For Men.
I'd love to find abandoned stores or run down or a store that is closing down for the soul purpose of getting new consoles and games, just like you are doing
man i wish i could go back to renting a 5 day n64 game with my mom again at family video
I definitely would have been all over the rental case lot deal you got
Retro rick Is that the magic mirror from romper room ?
I love the contact you guys create and you should have offered him $10 for that about 20 years ago it maybe he would have took you up on that offer
How is Riff so positive all the time...when he like all the slasher movies... maybe he has a dark side we have never seen 🤔
The sound quality on the 32X was very low.
For my son!!!😂😂😂 nice pickups!
FINALLY, seeing some horror goodness!
I couldn't find an answer to a weird question I have so I thought I'd try here. I just found an OG Xbox with no controller, and I don't know if the disc is supposed to load instantly or because I'm at the date and time settings it won't??? Sorry if I'm confusing just wanted to know.
I started jizzing at the first thing. Nap time now.
Good lord. LOL!
I love the Power Glove....... It's so bad....
❤ your stuff keep it up and see you on the next 😊😊😊😊😊😊
It's bothering but what game is the song that plays at 55 second mark
For my boy Luis!!!!

Gotta visit!

That Section Z has got to be expensive.😮
what was that dreamcast box next to the power glove at 7:02?
Not the console but the dreamEye camera
What’s the music at 4:29? Is that sonic? I can’t remember….(stay sober kids)
Where is the one and only Gabbo 😢
Jealous of the white game cases. Trying to find anything that isn't clear is difficult online.
No maniac mansion?
I sold that banner to him for store credit! Lol
Now it’s signed by the voice actor of darth maul in the game!! 🙌
@@saradykes2286 I know lol. 🙃🥲

Where in Gods green earth do you live that a rental store was JUST closing down in 2023!?
Closed many years ago, but owner put ALL contents in storage units and we were lucky enough to come into contact with him to buy his stash! 🤗

You don't look happy spending 650 dollars on plastic, you could probably sale each for 20 bucks each afterwards
somehow riff is still underpaid
#StickerMakesItSicker
Am I the only one who thinks the Retro Rick bullying has gotten out of hand? The guy is supposed to be your friend and you treat him like shit.
they love him.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Don't mean to be a dick but Riff is a bit much, Ricky is sound nice and chilled.
Riff has a great positive energy imo. its the reason i subscribed. Ricky is the man too, he's more quiet like myself.
🕹🎮🕹👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You guys wanna buy some of my stuff!?
You guys ripped the store owner on that game you paid 100 and its worth 450 thats not fair.
If you would have paid 200 250 you still make really good profit 😊
The section z?
Box is actually beat up.
It’s worth it to get them to come to our store! 🤗
