Good morning. Good morning. Day one. Day one. Day one baby, what's up? Day one. Good morning. This is day one of RetroFest, RetroRickFest, Retropalooza, all the RetroRick-isms that you can think of. Day one. And this is the crazy calm before the storm. There's only like 10 people in here. It's crazy to see. I'm going to take you guys around real quick, just to show you. This is the calm before the storm. I'm excited. It's going to be super fun. Hopefully we find some toys. The attic invaders. Look at this guy. Crazy. So this is all of Ed's stuff. Edge Retro Geek Out. And then Retro Freaks. Pixel Dan's right here. Wooden Classics is here. Dexter's Kill Room right here. All set with the Amiibos. More plastic. Oh, we got a toy booth here. Look at this. This is a little Masters of the Universe raincoat. We're going to get into it. It's going to be wild. Here is RetroRick's GamePoint table. Bringing all the games. All the games. All the Switch. All the Nintendo. All the PlayStation. It is time. For RetroFest Arkansas. Here we go. We kind of walked in from the entrance here. I'll show you where we are. With Scrooge. We got Deadpool. And here's the guys. Sprooge's booth. And Marcus. What up? Raided by all the Switch games.
[00:03:32] Speaker 4: Yes. All of them.
[00:03:33] Speaker 1: Let's go. We just got the five-minute warning that the VIPs are coming in. This is exciting. I am at Sprooge's booth right now. I'm going to man the booth until Sprooge comes back. He's doing a little walk around. He did not get to walk around to kind of scope out the areas. But check this out, guys. I did bring a My Pet Monster in the box. And then the OG 86.
[00:03:56] Speaker 5: My Pet Monster. He's bigger than big. When he fights battles, he always wins.
[00:04:03] Speaker 2: And he's your friend, too.
[00:04:04] Speaker 5: He breaks his chains.
[00:04:05] Speaker 2: Put him on you and break away, too.
[00:04:08] Speaker 5: With My Pet Monster, you're bustin' loose. He's big. And scary. And helps people, too. And he's your friend, too.
[00:04:16] Speaker 4: My Pet Monster plays all day. Tough. Awesome.
[00:04:19] Speaker 5: Lookin' great.
[00:04:19] Speaker 4: And all your friends will want him for their friend, too.
[00:04:23] Speaker 5: My Pet Monster has breakaway chains from M-Toy and American Greetings Company.
[00:04:27] Speaker 1: That is the cleanest My Pet Monster I have ever seen. And it is for sale. So, you know, we'll see how it goes today. But I'm very, very excited. I think I'm more excited for this convention than any other convention before. There's such a good mixture of video games, toys. It's all here. So, RetroFest Arkansas, day one. Here we go. I also brought this Bad Balls display. And then these rubber CVS 2001, I believe it is. Halloween decorations. We got this big Mario. And then this is the video game side of Scrooge's booth. I mean, there's video games all over the place. But especially this side. And then over here, he's got some toys. Some bootlegs. And then this really cool Goosebumps vintage poster. I love it. So, as fast as I could talk about the My Pet Monster, I immediately found another vendor also selling on My Pet Monster. Hey. I'm looking at the monster.
[00:05:36] Speaker 6: Yeah, the newer one.
[00:05:38] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[00:05:38] Speaker 6: There's some great sharks and extreme dinos over there.
[00:05:40] Speaker 1: Get out. Extreme dinosaurs. What do we got here? Oh. You know what? I think... I don't have this one. Wow. We got some extreme dinosaurs and, of course, some street sharks. Wow. And then this guy is sick.
[00:06:03] Speaker 6: He talks, too. But he also has, like, the little pop-out feature.
[00:06:08] Speaker 1: Whoa. Wow. And what does that go for?
[00:06:11] Speaker 6: His name's Wolfie. He's, like, 20 bucks.
[00:06:13] Speaker 1: 20 bucks? Yep. And then how much are the sharks and the...
[00:06:17] Speaker 6: So, the ones with accessories, that guy, that guy, and this one right here are all around 100. Okay. Everything else is going to be, like, 25 to 50.
[00:06:25] Speaker 1: 25 to 50. Okay. I actually don't own any street sharks. And how much are you asking on the monster? I've got 100. 100 on them. Okay. Sweet. I don't have one loose, but I kind of think it's counterproductive to have the loose and the... So, we'll see. 100 is a great price. I just have this thing, like, whenever I see a monster, I need to take him off.
[00:06:47] Speaker 6: That's why I put him up in the corner there. Oh, man. Like, everybody will see him there.
[00:06:51] Speaker 1: So good. He's also got some really great VHS tapes. The Ewok Adventure.
[00:06:56] Speaker 6: Yeah, there's two of them. There's an Ewok down here, too.
[00:06:58] Speaker 1: Wow. I do have this one ready. For $3, that is a steal.
[00:07:03] Speaker 6: There's one down here, too.
[00:07:04] Speaker 7: Is it the same one? Nope. Oh, and then this is the second one. A family of lost travelers find shelter and friendship among the Ewoks, peaceful guardians of the forest. But the peace is shattered. An evil storm sweeps the planet Endor, threatening the Ewok's very existence. Run fast. Run. And a courageous Earth child is left orphaned, hunted by the cruel armies of an insatiable warlord.
[00:07:32] Speaker 6: All I want is the power.
[00:07:35] Speaker 1: And then we got some horror.
[00:07:37] Speaker 6: Yeah, mostly horror. Some animated.
[00:07:39] Speaker 1: Yep. How much is this guy?
[00:07:41] Speaker 6: That one's only five.
[00:07:42] Speaker 1: I don't have this one. I've been looking for this one forever. Yeah. That's my second one. Let's put that on the pile. How much did you say on this? Oh, I don't see it very often. Would you do 20 for the pair? 85 bucks. Okay, perfect. I appreciate it. Thank you so much, man. I got to thank Eric for the great deal on these items. And right after that, I head back to Sprooge's vendor booth where I run into some old friends. Hey, aren't you Maddie? What's up? In the U.S. What? Maddie in the U.S. and Ed? Just a little bit like, yeah. What's going on, guys? Are we good? It's so good to see you.
[00:08:19] Speaker 3: There was a convention with toys and stuff and games and stuff. And that's why we're here. And you just flew over the ocean? We just materialized.
[00:08:28] Speaker 2: That's how we roll, man.
[00:08:30] Speaker 1: Well, it's so good to see you. I haven't seen Ed since the Kane County Toy Show. So it's super, super cool to see you. And Maddie, you're like never here. No, no, no. It's the first time. I'm going to say we were in, I forgot where we were. And I think somebody made a suggestion. And I think it was you when we were at dinner. And he was like, let me bring Maddie. Yeah. And I was like, I was so hoping. I was so hoping. And so Maddie was here. And it's so surreal to get to see you in person. Man, I love everything.
[00:09:00] Speaker 2: For me, it's the same meeting everybody. Oh, no, no. I've been watching videos of you guys for years now. It's so cool meeting you guys. Maybe five months.
[00:09:07] Speaker 1: But it's so good to meet you finally. We've known you for a long time. Yeah, we have through Russ's channel. And Russ just had a baby last night. Oh, that's awesome. Wow. All right. Congratulations, Russ.
[00:09:18] Speaker 8: Congratulations, Russ. Hey, I heard people were looking for me. What's up, Maddie and Ed? Man, yeah. Here's Madeline right here. She's about a month old now. Hope you guys found some awesome toys. Maybe I'll be able to make it out next year. Maybe I could bring one of the girls. All right, back to you guys.
[00:09:34] Speaker 1: You need to bring Russ next time, though. I know. Is there anything you guys are looking for? Russ.
[00:09:39] Speaker ?: Yeah. More Russ.
[00:09:40] Speaker 1: Rusty man. We're looking for more Russ. What you doing, Russ? What you doing? He's having babies.
[00:09:45] Speaker ?: Okay.
[00:09:46] Speaker 1: Spoiled the episode. I grabbed Cruz, and we're going to go and look at some toys. There's a booth over here that I think both of us will like. So it's Kapow Comics. That's actually a fair price for that, the $200 on that. Yeah, what Pizza Hut make. And then the whole set. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Of Land Before Time. Oh, my God. Dude, look at all the carded Exo Squad.
[00:10:18] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[00:10:19] Speaker 1: We've got to send this to Russ, see what Russ says about this. This isn't a complete set, right? It's not, but, I mean, we've got some really quality stuff. This guy right here. The creepy crawler. This is wild. Oh, look at these.
[00:10:42] Speaker 9: Oh, look at the bootlegs. Oh, no, those aren't. No, these are official.
[00:10:47] Speaker 6: Those are actually pretty cool.
[00:10:49] Speaker 1: Wow. With the hangers on them. $200 for both. What'd you find? We meet again. Oh.
[00:10:58] Speaker 9: Yes. Oh. I had a Citadel that sold at A.
[00:11:03] Speaker 1: Yo.
[00:11:04] Speaker 9: Yeah.
[00:11:06] Speaker 10: $12.3.
[00:11:07] Speaker 1: Does this work?
[00:11:08] Speaker 10: No, dude. I don't even know. I'm guessing it came with a little package inside of it. Yes. So, yeah. How does it open?
[00:11:14] Speaker 1: Because I haven't actually never seen this in person.
[00:11:16] Speaker ?: Okay.
[00:11:20] Speaker 1: Okay, yeah. So, there was a little thing here. Yep. Wow. I kind of want to get... I love the pink one.
[00:11:29] Speaker 10: I know. If I could find the pink one.
[00:11:30] Speaker 1: I want the pink one.
[00:11:31] Speaker 10: I see that one more than any of them.
[00:11:34] Speaker 1: Wow. That's incredible. Okay. So, let's look at some stuff here. Oh, yeah. Well, I might be interested in this.
[00:11:48] Speaker 11: I'm going to set it out front.
[00:11:49] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Maybe we should hold it down here just in case. It works out. Just in case.
[00:11:55] Speaker 11: I'm like, I got even space right there.
[00:11:57] Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no. Hey. I got some open space and some totes over there.
[00:12:03] Speaker 11: Okay.
[00:12:03] Speaker 1: I was looking at this guy.
[00:12:04] Speaker 12: Yeah.
[00:12:05] Speaker 1: Can we take him down? Yeah. Does he work, like, fully?
[00:12:07] Speaker 12: Yeah.
[00:12:10] Speaker 11: Tail's complete. Time works.
[00:12:12] Speaker 1: Okay. And then the feet. Nothing cracked. Nope. No crack. And then how about the hand? Does that pop out or? Button. Oh, okay. So, that works out pretty good. And what are you asking us?
[00:12:28] Speaker 11: Matt, what do we got on Godzilla? The good one is 600. The other one is 500. Yeah.
[00:12:34] Speaker 1: The good one is, okay. Yeah.
[00:12:35] Speaker 11: This is a good one.
[00:12:36] Speaker 1: That's a good one.
[00:12:37] Speaker 11: This one's got a cracked foot. Right. Right. Okay. And the lever's missing on the back.
[00:12:43] Speaker 1: All right. It's very cool to see. I might have to think about it, but that's very cool.
[00:12:48] Speaker 11: Where are you from?
[00:12:49] Speaker 1: Connecticut.
[00:12:50] Speaker 11: You came all the way down?
[00:12:51] Speaker 1: Oh, it came all the way down. I was also looking at this. The Slime Time Bat Watch. He's got 25 on it, which actually isn't that bad. It's very cool. It's just these weird watches that are reptiles and bats. It's pretty cool. And this is the cool one. And this is the purple bat, which is pretty awesome. We'll think about that. See if that's here maybe later. What do you got here? Barnyard Command? Wow. Look at that. Oh, I really like it. I've never seen this one. This one is the second tier. I think it's the second tier. The Slime?
[00:13:29] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[00:13:30] Speaker 1: Wow. Did you guys see Megan 2? Yeah. I saw it on the plate. It was great. Megan 2? No. I've never seen the first Megan. The first one.
[00:13:38] Speaker 3: Skip it. Just go straight to the second tier. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. If they put the Megan on it like a tiny robot, it's super funny. So good.
[00:13:49] Speaker 10: What the f*** is this?
[00:13:50] Speaker 1: Yeah, it's serious dope. Wow. And is he selling them as a lot?
[00:13:53] Speaker 11: I don't know.

[00:13:55] Speaker 1: He was like, look at them. Yeah. He's like, look at them. Can I look at them? That Slime one is really cool, though.
[00:14:04] Speaker 8: Yeah, man.
[00:14:06] Speaker 1: And then we got Rock Lords. MC Hammer wraparound.
[00:14:15] Speaker 2: That's not easy.
[00:14:17] Speaker 1: That's crazy. I've never seen this before.
[00:14:20] Speaker 9: No, that's pretty dope.
[00:14:21] Speaker ?: No, that's pretty dope.
[00:14:22] Speaker 11: Yeah. The figures. Those figures alone were allowed.
[00:14:25] Speaker 1: Look at this. It's got a cassette tape.
[00:14:28] Speaker ?: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:14:29] Speaker 1: It's a board game. MC Tiger. Look, it's a Tiger game. Boswin. Tiger made it, so.
[00:14:38] Speaker 13: No, I saw a little bit of that.
[00:14:39] Speaker 1: Pretty neat.
[00:14:40] Speaker 13: Yeah.
[00:14:41] Speaker 1: Sorry, man.
[00:14:42] Speaker 13: Screw that. Murder She Wrote, dude.
[00:14:45] Speaker 1: You know, you're the second person to bring that up this week. Which one did I skip over? Murder She Wrote. Murder She Wrote. So we looked at the Shogun. I am interested. We have some stuff for trade. So he might come by the booth later. And we can see about making a trade. Maybe we do the My Pet Monster. Maybe there's some other stuff that he's interested in. That might be the plot for today. And see how that thickens up later. It's not something I'm actively looking for. But it's there. And it's clean. And it'd be cool in the collection. So we'll see. Cruz and I just met. Ernie Reyes Jr. Childhood Legend. Yeah. Surf Ninjas.
[00:15:24] Speaker 9: Red Sonja. Turtles 2. Kino. Yes. Look at what I got, guys. Signed, sealed copy of Surf Ninjas.
[00:15:33] Speaker 1: So that was pretty wild. Yeah, pretty wild. But we gotta go find toys. Toys, toys, toys. So get at it. There's some Shogun. We got the Battle Wagon from Robin Hood. And the Bola Bomber Net Launcher. Oh, man. Get that guy signed.
[00:15:53] Speaker 9: Would be awesome, actually.
[00:15:55] Speaker 1: Because Francois is here, who played the Shredder. Oh, the Shredder. Look at this little alien. Little clock.
[00:16:07] Speaker 9: That's weird.
[00:16:08] Speaker 1: Hey, did you see this Ewok clock?
[00:16:10] Speaker 9: Oh, that is pretty cool, actually.
[00:16:12] Speaker 1: Wow. That's wild. And then the Pee-wee Marionette. With the instruction book. The ventriloquist book. Oh, and we got a whole binder of garbage pail, kids.
[00:16:29] Speaker 9: Nice.
[00:16:31] Speaker 1: Nice. I think I have all of these. These are earlier series, which is nice. You can always tell by the numbers on them, too. Yeah, 245. Yeah, these are low. So, I would say around series 4, 5, and 6. Very cool. Toothless is one of my favorites. Now, we're going to head over to our new friend, Mac and Brit's booth. They are BC Toys and Collectibles out of El Paso, Texas. I do make a deal with them, which you'll see a little bit later in the video. But for now, Cruz and Alex are there. And they got their eyes on a few items at the booth.
[00:17:15] Speaker 14: How much for the duffel bag? I did a 30.
[00:17:18] Speaker 1: 30? That's clean.
[00:17:23] Speaker 14: That is super dope. Wow.
[00:17:26] Speaker 1: I like this one. Although, that one is really nice, too. What do you do on the pair? 50 on the pair. What do you think?
[00:17:39] Speaker 4: I just want to point out that he just did a video about you snooze, you lose.
[00:17:42] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[00:17:43] Speaker 4: I just called him a deal on Duke Nukem, and then he wants to take a lap to think about it.
[00:17:48] Speaker 1: You snooze, you lose.
[00:17:49] Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I know. Now, look. On other stuff, I have more wiggle room. Yeah. Just, I don't have to. Somebody's going to pay it. Yeah. Well, that's the second. We're going to pay it.
[00:17:59] Speaker 1: So, which one are we looking at? The Duke Nukem, that's 150.
[00:18:02] Speaker 4: I'll do 130.
[00:18:05] Speaker 10: All right, you got it.
[00:18:05] Speaker 1: I'll do 140. Sweet. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I just wanted to see your face. You're a jerk. Yeah, no, I'll do that.
[00:18:12] Speaker 4: No, where I come from, your word is wrong.
[00:18:15] Speaker 1: My word is wrong. Every figure in here is 10. We're going to maybe try to make a pile and just... I'm making a pile. Cruz is making a pile. I'm going to help him because look at this. We got some Bucky O'Hare. Yep. Take them. Small soldiers.
[00:18:33] Speaker 9: Bucky's are a little bit easier to sell without their weapons.
[00:18:36] Speaker 1: That's a nice Captain Planet. Yeah, the Bucky's. Oh, here's another Bucky.
[00:18:42] Speaker 13: Let's go with the Bucky's first.
[00:18:43] Speaker 1: Yep. These are Bucky's. Oh, how about some Barnyard Commando? Oh, the gold one. Found another one. Wow. Ten bucks a piece. I mean, even at that price, it's awesome. Got a Mighty Max. What do we got? We got a whole lot here. So, I don't... I mean... I mean, loose. I mean, they're cool. They are.
[00:19:20] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[00:19:20] Speaker 1: But, like, with their weapons, they're probably cooler. Sure, sure. Backpacks, whatever.
[00:19:25] Speaker 12: Yeah, backpacks.
[00:19:26] Speaker 1: Oh, here's a Ghostbuster. I'm going to go with the Bucky. Oh, you should see all of those. So, what do we got here? Did you look at the other bins? The $5 bin. Oh, there's a flat top. So, we got the prune face. The flat top. Let's see your pile here. Let's see your haul. What are we looking at? That's a... That's nice.
[00:19:49] Speaker 9: That's a little hefty pile right there. Can I see these? Yeah. I think... I think...
[00:19:54] Speaker 1: Cowboy of Moo Mesa.
[00:19:56] Speaker 9: These are real nice.
[00:19:58] Speaker 1: As I was leaving Mac and Brit's booth, I got a call from Sprooch and he said, gotta head back to the vendor booth for something. So, let's see what happened. We're at Sprooch's booth. I have a few things for sale. And Derek here... Can I see your shirt? Yeah. The Retro Lair. YouTube, Instagram. We'll throw his links in the description. This guy... Speaking my language. He is gonna pick up the 1986 OG My Pet Monster. It is the cleanest My Pet Monster I've ever come across. That's not even a joke. Before we get the My Pet Monster, I just gave Derek some stickers. He's gonna scan it because he thinks he's subscribed. So, we're gonna scan the QR code. See what happens. Is he subscribed? No. But that's okay. He subscribed now. And he's gonna enjoy a brand new video tomorrow. This is the cleanest guy I've ever seen.
[00:21:02] Speaker 9: Super clean.
[00:21:03] Speaker 1: Look at this. Straight off the box. So, didn't you have one as a kid or... I didn't. Not at all. So, hopefully we'll see this on the Retro Lair. Oh, yeah. Nice. So, pretty cool.
[00:21:15] Speaker 9: So, he's going to a good home.
[00:21:18] Speaker 10: I'm gonna miss him.
[00:21:21] Speaker 9: David, you have like 700 bucks.
[00:21:23] Speaker 1: No, I don't. Stop your lies. Bye. Goodbye. Goodbye.

[00:23:29] Speaker 1: Cody here has got the Ultimate Stripe. I'm pretty sure I have this guy though, but for 20 bucks, that's a steal right there. With the chainsaw, the skateboard, and then he's got the Mario Cake Pan. So cool. And then also the Michelangelo. I got a beanbag Hawaiian Punch Kid. I've been slimed. Ghostbusters wallet.

Got all the posters. So cool. Look at this guy. He's so cool. Donnie Wahlberg. Magic McDonald's presents the New Kids on the Block Magic Summer Tour. 1990. Wow. Nice. I actually have a friend here who is a big New Kids on the Block collector. I wonder if he has a program. Purple People Eater.
[00:25:26] Speaker 15: What?
[00:25:29] Speaker 1: Purple People Eater. That's crazy. Oh. We might have to get this just to check it out.
[00:25:38] Speaker 16: Some kids have their heads in the clouds. Look at Billy. He dreams all day. There's calling Billy. Hey, Billy. Can't you stream our lives away? But one day, a rock and roll dream came true. A Purple People Eater. Playing rock and roll music through the horn on his head.
[00:25:57] Speaker 17: Wow. Come on, everybody. Do the purple.
[00:26:01] Speaker 16: Purple is a little strange. But that's because he's a real artist. Starring Ned Beatty. What's it look like?
[00:26:10] Speaker 18: Very punk.
[00:26:12] Speaker 15: Shelley Witters. I'm going to twist it up. I'm going to twist it down. I'm going to twist it up and then around.
[00:26:20] Speaker 16: And, of course, Purple. Special guest appearances by Chubby Checker. And Little Richard. Purple People Eater. It's a rock and roll dream come true.
[00:26:38] Speaker 1: Oh, a Captain Power. Eight dollars on this guy. I wonder if Cruz has that one. We'll have to tell Cruz about that. And then... Oh, and here's a really cool one, too. The Quest. If you guys haven't seen The Quest, check out The Quest. As you can see, RetroFest Arkansas has an absolute ton. I'm talking vintage toys, video games, other collectibles, vintage clothing. So much stuff. In fact, with these two days here, I'm going to be splitting these videos up into multiple parts. There's going to be some regular episodes, as well as some exclusive videos for channel members. So if you're interested in becoming a channel member, check the information down below in the description. Remember that New Kids on the Block program that I mentioned earlier in the video? That I had a friend who collects NKOTB merchandise. Well, let's go check in with him and see if he might be interested in this. All right, Jay, you want to go see this thing?
[00:27:46] Speaker 12: Yeah, let's go see.
[00:27:48] Speaker 1: Nice to see you, buddy.
[00:27:50] Speaker 12: Good to see you, too, man.
[00:27:51] Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here. Jay's a big collector of New Kids on the Block. I am. Do you have any tour books?
[00:27:59] Speaker 14: I don't. So this would be...
[00:28:02] Speaker 1: There, I did find some tour... One tour book, 1990. Jay. That's interesting. You ever seen that?
[00:28:10] Speaker 19: Uh-uh.
[00:28:14] Speaker 1: I mean, the pictures alone.
[00:28:18] Speaker 10: Dude, that's cool.
[00:28:21] Speaker 1: Tell me this is not just like the sign of 1990.
[00:28:27] Speaker 19: Let's see. I wonder what they want for it.
[00:28:30] Speaker 1: Let's find out. Let's find out. Look at that.
[00:28:35] Speaker 19: That's interesting. You've got to at least ask that.
[00:28:39] Speaker 1: You've got to ask. What's the worst that they're going to say if you, like, shoot them an offer? They say no. So let's see what he wants for it. This is one of the things. You find out what they want. And if it's not what you want to pay, you come back tomorrow at the end of the day. Yeah. And it's hidden. I kind of feel like it would be here. It might be. Who else is looking for new kids, though? Nobody. Nobody.
[00:29:02] Speaker 19: To be honest.
[00:29:03] Speaker 1: I think that's pretty fair. It's top. You're going to wait on it, or are you going to wait on it? I'm going to wait on it. Okay. I need an ATM. I don't have any cash on me. I'll come back for it tomorrow. Nice. I'll find you before I do it. So to be continued, after the Cubs win. After the Cubs win. After the Cubs win. Unfortunately, the Cubs did not end up winning the game to make it to the World Series. Huge bummer. But Jay and I are going to come back tomorrow for day two. See if it's still there, and see if Jay can get a deal and pick it up for his collection. We made a little bit of a trade. We did. Tell them who you are. I'm Matt. That's Brittany. Where's Brittany? Right there. Hi, Brittany. We're BC Toys out of El Paso. Perfect. And I came to your booth yesterday during setup. Yep. He had something on the shelf. Like a vulture. Like a vulture. I did. So we worked out a little bit of a trade. Trade, and then we bundled it with cash. We bundled it with some cash. So he's also getting some cash. But do you want me to give you yours first? Well, let's see what you're getting. What am I getting? Look at this. Braille piece. I've never, ever seen one of those in person. Not once. Now you own one. Now, can you tell, how did this come about that I actually found this? You've got to tell the story. You found it in the bin before we unpacked it. Did I? Yeah. No way. You didn't even have it out. You're like, what's that? I didn't even get to put it on the shelf yet. You know, I got my eyes set on some monsters. What can I say? Because some order was more. I sniffed it out. I sniffed it out. All right. And then we got some other things, too. We got that bad boy. And I'm straight from Mexico. Carded bootleg monsters. We got the purple, the green, and then translucent green. And with the clear chains.
[00:31:11] Speaker 13: And look at the back. Look at those graphics. Those are booty.
[00:31:13] Speaker 1: Those are man. I love the staples. So good. And so, as part of a trade, I have a few things for you. Well, no. You don't have anything for me. I don't have anything for you? Nothing. I'm getting nothing for you. This lovely lady is getting something.
[00:31:30] Speaker 10: Oh, I am.
[00:31:31] Speaker 1: These are for you.
[00:31:32] Speaker 10: Oh. Okay, that's awesome.
[00:31:37] Speaker 1: So, this is a Argentina bootleg.
[00:31:42] Speaker 10: Oh, my God. That's amazing.
[00:31:44] Speaker 1: If you look at the bottom, it's got a little squeaker in it.
[00:31:47] Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
[00:31:47] Speaker 1: So, it was marketed as a dog toy. So, if you want to open it up.
[00:31:52] Speaker 10: That's amazing. I'll take this. Okay.
[00:31:54] Speaker 1: I'll take your phone.
[00:31:55] Speaker 10: Okay.
[00:31:56] Speaker 1: So, open that up. And then, just give it a little squeeze. So, a little Argentinian bootleg dog toy.
[00:32:12] Speaker 10: Oh, that's awesome. Love it.
[00:32:14] Speaker 1: And then, we also have these here for you.
[00:32:16] Speaker 10: You saw it in the video.
[00:32:17] Speaker 13: You saw your collection.
[00:32:18] Speaker 1: I saw the collection. Okay, okay, okay. And so, here. Here's your phone. Thank you. And we're getting some Fry Guys. No. So, which is the one that you don't have?
[00:32:27] Speaker 10: The yellow one. The yellow cowgirl.
[00:32:29] Speaker 1: With, now, is this removable? The hat? The hat?
[00:32:31] Speaker 10: The hat. This one, I don't think it is. Okay. Maybe.
[00:32:36] Speaker 1: I don't think it is. I don't think the hat is. It probably would have fallen off in the bag.
[00:32:38] Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:32:39] Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll confirm it.
[00:32:41] Speaker 10: This is awesome. Yay.
[00:32:42] Speaker 1: But yeah. And then.
[00:32:43] Speaker 10: I'm from Texas. I gotta have the cowgirl.
[00:32:44] Speaker 1: And then we'll do some cash. Yeah. And then it's gonna come home.
[00:32:49] Speaker 10: That'd be great.
[00:32:50] Speaker 1: If it weren't for NARC, this wouldn't have happened. No. Because NARC was looking out for me and said to him that he's got a My Pet Monster guy and I was the guy. And I was so honored that somebody actually thought of me as the My Pet Monster guy. RetroFest Arkansas was so massive and so many cool things, I am splitting up all of the footage into multiple videos. So we are gonna continue the journey and I don't know if you guys remembered, but at the very beginning of this trip, I mentioned I was looking for some grail gremlin items. I am gonna look for some gremlins. I think gremlins is gonna be one of the things that I wanna look for here and this weekend. Something that I maybe never see before. Well, I think we're gonna find something real soon here at RetroFest Arkansas. The wacky ghoulies. I think I have something for you.
[00:33:47] Speaker 4: I need clicks back. No, that guy was nuts.
[00:33:49] Speaker 1: This guy's missing some teeth, huh? This thing is rad. I'm here to collect. Oh. The Slimer Candy. This is my first one. That other one. Get out of here. You brought them over from Belgium. Dino Riders, Kite. That's what I've done for you. I'm not falling down that dark hole. That thing is... Yeah, wicked, man. He's already in bed. I'm in bed. He's in bed. I'm in bed all day long.
[00:34:12] Speaker 9: Now, open up your eyes.
[00:34:20] Speaker 1: Dave, it's me. One booth that I was mostly looking forward to here at RetroFest is OKChief. We've been friends for a while. He's finally at a show that I'm at. He's always got the crazy stuff. Look at this. This guy. 30 bucks. I mean, that's crazy. And then, look at the bank. This is just absolutely insane. He's got these Robocops. And then, the Super Mario Bros. 3 display. From the Happy Meals. And this dinner set for Nintendo Legend of Zelda. It's insane. These real Ghostbusters. The Ghost Zapper. And what I like is, he shrink wraps everything. So, it looks really nice. Clean. He's got these all... The wacky ghoulies. Oh, I might have to make a play for some wacky ghoulies. Sektar's. This Dino Rider's Kite. What? Air Raiders. And then, here's all of his bagged stuff up here. He's got some... Look at that. He's got different sizes of the Noid. That's cool. Oh, this Troll Force. On card. Chief's also got the Super Mario Bros. balloon. This is the one that Killer Carp famously blew up. And popped it. So, he's got $100 on that. And then, just all of the Nintendo oddities. The Bow Biters. I do have a set of these Bow Biters. The easy-to-paint decorations. Look at this stuff. It's Japanese. Zelda. There's the Q-Bert. Q-Bert on the skateboard. And the PVC. Pauline. Wow. Oh, there's another easy-to-paint decoration with the princess. Oh, the Slimer candy. Well, there's something you don't see every day. With candy in it. And then, he's got all of these... More Nintendo. The carded figures. This is probably my favorite. The View Master. Super Mario Bros. 2. And then, this Zelda water bottle. Look at that. $100 on that. You do not ever see that. And then, the Legend of Zelda. Placemat. Chief just brings the heat. Super Mario Bros. 3 lunch bags for $55. And then, the placemat. Oh, man. We've got some Battle Beast. Little Minis here. They'll really go crazy looking through all of these racks. Are you overwhelmed yet? Because I am. But wait. There's more. The Q-Bert Colorforms play set. The Pee-Wee's Colorforms play set. Oh, we just picked these up. I picked up the cases for these. This is the actual sealed box with the cars inside. I just really like the cases. So, I picked up the cases for, I think they were like $4 each. And then, more View Master with the Turtles 2. The Ren and Stimpy. Oh, man. Look at these. The Rainbow Brite Shrinky Dinks.
[00:38:28] Speaker 17: Ooh, Rainbow Land. The new Shrinky Dinks Rainbow Brite play set by Colorforms. Rainbow Brite. First, color the Rainbow Land characters. Cut them out. Then, into the oven.

Awesome. You do that. Let's go grab it. This is my little pile from Chief.
[00:40:18] Speaker 4: I told you, Rick gets everything.
[00:40:20] Speaker 1: This is what I'm getting. No, my girlfriend gets everything. This isn't even for me. Oh, that's not even for you? No. I haven't gotten anything. You haven't gotten anything?
[00:40:28] Speaker 4: No. For yourself, you haven't gotten anything? No. So, what are you getting? Even the Secret Wars?
[00:40:34] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[00:40:34] Speaker 4: She stole those, really. Oh, no.
[00:40:36] Speaker 1: So, you bought it?
[00:40:38] Speaker 4: All the color forms.
[00:40:39] Speaker 1: Look at all this stuff.
[00:40:40] Speaker 4: Oh, you bastard. He got it yesterday.
[00:40:43] Speaker 1: I did get it yesterday.
[00:40:44] Speaker 20: You can only buy it off you.
[00:40:45] Speaker 1: You want to buy it off me? Right.
[00:40:49] Speaker 20: After what I've done for you, motherpush bucket. So, you didn't see it, but it comes with a shield.
[00:40:54] Speaker 1: Oh, even better.
[00:40:55] Speaker 4: Yeah. See, look.
[00:40:56] Speaker 1: Did you see this thing?
[00:40:59] Speaker 4: How cool.
[00:41:00] Speaker 1: How cool is that?
[00:41:01] Speaker 4: Oh, no. Yeah. No. Yeah. Wasn't found on self. I grew up in the 80s. I never saw that. So, this is what he's talking about.
[00:41:08] Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the My Pet Monster.
[00:41:10] Speaker 4: And one of the.
[00:41:11] Speaker 1: One of the candies. And then this guy.
[00:41:14] Speaker 4: You're getting one of those. Oh, and this. So, this is his purchase. All right. Oh, I love it, man. But the guy tried to get the free piece. In his mind. No, I get it. In his mind, it was only 25% off.
[00:41:26] Speaker 10: Yeah.
[00:41:27] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, that guy was nuts. But when it added up, like, do you even hear yourself? Like, no, man. And he wanted to get, I think it was that.
[00:41:36] Speaker 1: What's that? The Crash Dummy set? The Crash Dummy. Okay.
[00:41:39] Speaker 4: And the Little Orpene.
[00:41:40] Speaker 1: Yes, I saw the Willow Board Game.
[00:41:41] Speaker 4: And he wanted. Basically. He wanted that and that for.
[00:41:46] Speaker 1: 200.
[00:41:46] Speaker 4: 200.
[00:41:47] Speaker 1: And what does the Willow Board Game cost? 60. 60, okay.
[00:41:49] Speaker 4: And I told him, so buy this and get this for free. He goes, no, no. I'll give you 150 for this and, like, well, I don't remember. 50 for that? In his mind, it was like 20% off.
[00:41:59] Speaker 1: Right, right.
[00:42:00] Speaker 4: Which is fine. But when it adds up to free, that's when you've got to pump the brakes. It doesn't work out that way. Yeah. I'm not giving you something for buying something. You know what I mean?
[00:42:07] Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense.
[00:42:08] Speaker 4: So what did we say yesterday?
[00:42:09] Speaker 1: You know what? I don't even remember, to be honest with you. I think it was 30?
[00:42:14] Speaker 4: Where was it? I think we could do 35. Perfect. 35. Perfect. And then this one, I had to think, because that's right around where I got it for. Okay. So that was 75. And then this was 45, but I'll just forward it.
[00:42:29] Speaker 1: Okay. And then the candy. That was 10. Oh, oh, and the color forms, because he just took them. Okay. See, I'm being very honest with you.
[00:42:39] Speaker 4: You're not being a scumbag reseller. It sure is.
[00:42:46] Speaker 1: That's awesome. We're at 145. We're at 145. That's where we're at. And that's with the color forms? Okay. Yes. That's where we're at. And you got a bunch of cool stuff, bro. Yes, I did. What are you thinking?
[00:42:56] Speaker 4: I'm going to work 30.
[00:42:58] Speaker 1: Okay. We're good? I'm not going to argue with you. We're good. You're a man of, like, your business. I got to, I'm taking care of you, man.
[00:43:04] Speaker 4: Thank you, bro. I appreciate it.
[00:43:05] Speaker 1: Dude, I appreciate you. That's awesome stuff here. It's really, let's show what we got. So, oh, I've already gotten rid of the color forms, which I'm not going to lie. You're a little sad. I'm a little bummed. Yeah. I did pass off the Ghostbusters color forms to Mac. However, in all fairness, he did hook me up with this really sweet My Pet Monster for the collection. So, I was definitely happy to return the favor. But this thing is rad.
[00:43:31] Speaker 4: That's pretty neat, bro.
[00:43:32] Speaker 1: With the shield, too?
[00:43:33] Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't beat that.
[00:43:34] Speaker 1: Where did you, did you find the shield, like, somewhere?
[00:43:37] Speaker 4: Yeah, it was inside the, the, the view of her garbage can. Oh, wow. Interesting. Yeah, where it was, so it was just fell in.
[00:43:43] Speaker 1: Yeah. And then we got the little candy. The Wacky Ghoulies. And that was from Toy Base 10. That's Toy Base 10, which is awesome.
[00:43:48] Speaker 4: That's part of history right there.
[00:43:50] Speaker 1: And then.
[00:43:50] Speaker 4: And then that. The My Pet Monster. That's supposed to be thrown away. That was supposed to be discarded, but someone saved it. Because this was in a buddy's shop of mine. Okay. And that's why I told you. Did he have it set up? No, he had it just folded, like, loosely, like this. Okay. Like, folded. Okay. So, when I got home, I put a piece of cardboard in there. Well, it's staying in there. Sturdy. And I put up my, my sealing machine.
[00:44:11] Speaker 1: Okay.
[00:44:11] Speaker 4: So that it could be protected. Because people were going to rub your hands, you know. Yes, rub your hands. Up, down, up, down. It would get dirty. Dude. So, I just protected it even more with my sealing machine.
[00:44:19] Speaker 1: It's perfect. Oh, my God. Did you get it?
[00:44:21] Speaker 4: He got waxed. He got it.
[00:44:24] Speaker 1: Stop. Stop. That's a... Look at how well this just, like...
[00:44:28] Speaker 4: You can't beat that. Look. Look at that. Imagine him going around just drinking. Wait. Is this... Oh, that's not one. I'm going to think we need to get out a drink from this later. Perfect.
[00:44:35] Speaker 1: So, that's amazing. You know, I went over there. I saw one missing. And I was like, I wonder who got it.
[00:44:42] Speaker 4: Who's that sucker? Yeah.
[00:44:44] Speaker 1: Wow.
[00:44:45] Speaker 4: Fresh off the train.
[00:44:46] Speaker 1: This is Dave's very first time traveling for a convention.
[00:44:50] Speaker 4: Outside of the Northeast. I hope it made it worth your time. It's every day. Look. That's awesome.
[00:44:56] Speaker 1: He could just go home and go straight to bed. He's already in bed. In bed. He's in bed. I'm in bed all day long. Chief said 1.30. We're getting all this cool stuff. I'm super excited about this.
[00:45:07] Speaker 4: This is... Like I said earlier, this is toy history.
[00:45:10] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[00:45:11] Speaker 4: Because it came from a really cool spot that everyone wants to migrate to. Yeah. Toy Base 10. If you're in the area of Oklahoma City, do yourselves a favor and stop at Toy Base 10, you guys. Yeah. And be prepared for the most widely old man. I'm scared to even go. Be prepared. Just...
[00:45:29] Speaker 1: Just quick. Have quick comebacks. Yeah. Quick comebacks. Quick comebacks. All right. So, let me pay you. Yes, sir. This is a dream, getting a buy off of this guy. Thank you so much. We've been friends for a while on Facebook. It's part of it, man.
[00:45:40] Speaker 11: You want to buy it off of Christmas.
[00:45:41] Speaker 1: Oh, let's shake the hand. This is my guy right here. This is my guy. Thank you so much, brother. Nicest dude in the world.
[00:45:47] Speaker 4: Appreciate you coming by, man. I love this. Yeah. Can I just say, like... He invited me last year. I was like, I'm back. I'm coming back next year. And yeah, man, this was great. I'm glad he put me on this side. Yeah. Like the main aisle.
[00:45:59] Speaker 1: Yep.
[00:45:59] Speaker 4: Because last year, I was like in the back. Okay. And everyone went down the main aisle. And by the time they got to me, they ran out of money.
[00:46:04] Speaker 1: So they go typically this row first?
[00:46:06] Speaker 4: Yeah, because when you enter, you just make that left.
[00:46:08] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[00:46:09] Speaker 4: And this is the main aisle.
[00:46:10] Speaker 1: Interesting. So this is great. Rick invited me out to come. And I'm so glad I did. Because we go to a lot of retro conventions. But on the East Coast. On the East Coast. You know, we just went to Siege. We have the retro world in Connecticut. Right. But the thing is, like, I'm getting out of the video games. Right. And I wanted toys. And Rick's like, you got to come to the show. You'll really like it. And let me say, this is probably of my... favorite show.
[00:46:36] Speaker 11: It's great.
[00:46:36] Speaker 1: And it's not even, like, what, three hours in? Right. It was really great to finally meet OK Chief. We've been friends on the internet for quite some time. But we're going to pick it up a few hours later now. I did take a little bit of a break. But it's time to get back to hunting. It is 4 o'clock on day one. And there's one hour to go for the end of day one. And then we have the after party that begins here. So we're going to do one quick walk through again. See if we might have missed something. And maybe we'll find some last minute items. We also have all day tomorrow. This guy's missing some teeth, huh? Freakball missing some teeth. It's pretty nice. Series one, number two. I don't have this one. Ooh, 30 bucks. Our friend Derek came by the booth and let me know about it. But there's some really cool stuff here.
[00:47:48] Speaker 10: There is. I didn't see this right here.
[00:47:49] Speaker 1: Oh, there you go.
[00:47:51] Speaker 10: I just picked up Mario and Luigi recently.
[00:47:53] Speaker 1: Yep, Iggy. And then the Super Mario Brothers Halloween costumes. The Thundercats is awesome, too. This is a very cool freakball. But yeah, I see what you mean about the missing teeth.
[00:48:13] Speaker 14: On the shelf, I can see it not really being a bother.
[00:48:16] Speaker 1: Yeah, but you would know. Yeah. If it was cheap enough. Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. I found a cruise in the wild. Yeah, found a cruise in the wild. I don't think I've ever seen like a box that big. I don't know anything about Pokemon. I don't want to know anything about Pokemon. I'm not falling down that dark hole. Do it. Not going to happen. Do it. Okay, Matty. What's up? I hear that you might have something for me. Look at the content. Look at the content. What's up, buddy? I need clicks back. Yeah. Well, don't come here then. I should be coming to you. Matty might have something for me.
[00:49:03] Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I have something for you. Okay. You're going to like it. You ready?
[00:49:06] Speaker 1: I hope so. Look at this. Oh, my God.
[00:49:10] Speaker 2: It's a full set of the Yolanda Spain PVCs.
[00:49:15] Speaker 1: Jeez. Can we open them up? Yeah, for sure. Take a look at them. Here, I'll let you do that. Let's make some. Come on, Ed.
[00:49:22] Speaker 9: Come on, Ed. Get out of the way.
[00:49:24] Speaker 1: Get out of here. Can I ask where you got these from?
[00:49:27] Speaker 2: I got these from a flea market in the French part of Belgium.
[00:49:32] Speaker 1: Wow.
[00:49:33] Speaker 2: We go there once a year, and it's like a 10-mile flea market.
[00:49:38] Speaker 1: Okay.
[00:49:38] Speaker 2: So, it's really cutthroat to get good stuff. Yeah. Because everybody's hunting.
[00:49:43] Speaker 1: Now, this is a full set.
[00:49:45] Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
[00:49:47] Speaker 1: And it's from Sweden.
[00:49:49] Speaker 2: They're from Spain. Oh, Spain. I'm sorry, Spain. Yeah, I think it's Yolanda or something, the brand on them. Okay. Now, why is this one rubber? I don't know, man. I don't know anything about these. That's wild. Yeah, I think they all are rubbery.
[00:50:05] Speaker 1: I still do have my original gorilla figure. Yeah.
[00:50:10] Speaker 2: The regular size one?
[00:50:11] Speaker 1: The regular, yeah, the regular size. I wish I had the house.
[00:50:18] Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:50:19] Speaker 1: But I also had, I think it's the, what is it? The time cruiser? Is that what it's called? The boat? The boat trollers? The boat trollers? Something like that? Something like that, yeah. Yeah. I used to have that, and I don't know. I can't find it. You used to have it. I did have it. Cool. All I had from the Filmation Ghostbusters was that and the gorilla.
[00:50:40] Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
[00:50:41] Speaker 1: And so, I still have my gorilla. I just can't find my vehicle.
[00:50:45] Speaker 14: Yeah.
[00:50:45] Speaker 1: So, that would probably be, like, the only one, because it's an expensive line. Yeah. So, I would probably just want to get that just to have again. Yeah, for sure. But this, I mean, just to have the complete set of all of the characters. All in one. And the fact that they're from Spain. Yeah. And you brought them over from Belgium. Yeah. Is wild. So, that, I love that story. Yeah. What do you want for these?
[00:51:09] Speaker 2: I'll do, I'll do 40 for you. For the whole set.
[00:51:11] Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to do 40. So, I'm not even going to. Matty's my buddy. Yeah. And we're going to hook him up so he can buy more toys.
[00:51:19] Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, man.
[00:51:20] Speaker 1: And then this is great. I need that paper. He needs that paper. Yeah. Well, I'm super excited to have this. Yeah. Thank you so much. No problem, mate. It's so nice to finally meet you, man. Yeah, for sure, man. This is fun.
[00:51:29] Speaker 2: Sadly, Rosie isn't here.
[00:51:30] Speaker 1: I would love to meet him one time.
[00:51:32] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[00:51:32] Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah. We got to have you come back again. Yeah, for sure, man. For sure, for sure. I mean, maybe Kane County? Yeah. I'm up for it. Matty has this guy, and I think that this is the most wild bootleg. I mean, is this bootleg, or is it called Hogan?
[00:51:50] Speaker 2: No, it technically is a bootleg. Look at this guy. Yeah. So, can you tell me about him? Yeah, it's called Star Toys, Hulk Hogan. Okay. They're like three figures in the line. Only three? Only three, yeah. I think so. You have the Hulk, you have Ultimate Warrior, and you have... Hacksaw. Oh, there's a Hacksaw. There's a Hacksaw. Does he come with a two by four?
[00:52:13] Speaker 18: I think so, yeah. Hey, folks. I'm Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Be part of the WWF excitement. Don't get me on it. I'm not a toy guy, so...
[00:52:22] Speaker 1: Does Hogan come with anything?
[00:52:24] Speaker 2: Just the two straps.
[00:52:26] Speaker 1: Okay. But no accessories or anything like that?
[00:52:28] Speaker 2: No accessories, no. I think the figure is so good, it doesn't need accessories to be gold.
[00:52:31] Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at this hair. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it is as golden as the sun. Yeah, yeah, for sure, man. And that face. Yeah. I mean, that thing is... Yeah, wicked, man. One day, maybe I'll own one.
[00:52:46] Speaker 2: Yeah. But... They're from Spain, so I think if you want one, you'll have to come to Europe. I'll have to come to Europe. Yeah.
[00:52:52] Speaker 1: We'll see what happens.
[00:52:53] Speaker 2: Have some of your Euro buddies bring one over. I mean... I don't know.
[00:52:57] Speaker 1: Let's see. What's been really cool about this day, it's not just the thrill of the hunt, but it's also getting to meet some longtime friends from across the world, from across the U.S., and finally get to meet in person. But not only that, I've been able to pick up some really cool items from them with stories behind it. So, Matty, Chief, thank you. But now it's time to get back to Sprooge's booth, because our new friend Eric is stopping by. Let's see what is going on there. Look who I found. What did I buy from you earlier? What did you get? Oh, the wolf. The wolf and something else. The VHS tape. The coming out of their shells. Turtles VHS. VHS tape. And so I invited him over, because he also had a 2001 My Pet Monster, and I said, well, I have a 2001 My Pet Monster. Now, do you not have one for yourself? Like, why are you selling that one? So, I have one, but I really wanted the old one.
[00:53:57] Speaker 6: But mine also didn't have the cuffs. Oh, interesting. So, I'm like, now you've enticed me with a brand new one.
[00:54:04] Speaker 1: All right, so bring it in. So, he's looking at this guy in box. And this guy is clean. He's nice. He's even got the little tags here. So, this is complete. I mean, when you talk about complete in box, this is what we're talking about. You're going to take him out? Play with him? Or are you going to? He's going to stay like that. On the shill. Smart man. Where's it going? Do you have other My Pet Monsters, or just this one? So, this is my first one. Get out of here. So.
[00:54:35] Speaker 6: Your first one. I have the VHS tape, so I'll say that. But this is my first actual My Pet Monsters.
[00:54:40] Speaker 1: So, I did just find the VHS tape. Okay. It's the first one I've... Wait, did you buy that here? No. I've had it for a couple years now, but... So, I just found one. I've never, ever seen it in all my hunting. I've never come across it. Is it the coming alive one? Where he's like busting out of the screen? Yes. Yes. So, I found it at a flea market. What does the tape run? What does it go for? I know it varies.
[00:55:06] Speaker 6: I was going to say, I have no idea what they go for now.
[00:55:08] Speaker 1: So, I mean, granted, mine's a little beat up. Okay. But, I mean, the front is still nice. It's just the top and whatever. Right. I found it for $10. Oh, that's cheap.
[00:55:18] Speaker 6: I was thinking around like $20 to $25 normally. It's crazy. That's insane.
[00:55:23] Speaker 1: So, congratulations. Yes, thank you. Thank you so much. It's so... You know, I'm sad to see him go, but... I know he's going to a good home. Why is it always so sad to see a My Pet Monster go? This guy is definitely going to a good home. So, Eric, thank you so much for stopping by the booth and picking him up for your collection. But before we go, my friend Kevin over at C&C Games, he found me during setup time and told me he had something for me, a little gift. I, of course, wanted to get it on film. So, before this day even started, I found Kevin and he definitely surprised me. Kevin from C&C Games, who you saw in the Siege Part 2 video, came to me yesterday. He says he has something for me. Yeah, he made that awesome sign for you too. Yes, he did. That thing is sick. So, we've got... Kevin's booth is all set up right here.
[00:56:23] Speaker 9: Got the greatest.
[00:56:24] Speaker 1: Where's Kevin? Is Kevin here?
[00:56:26] Speaker ?: I'm here.
[00:56:26] Speaker 1: Kevin. Look at him with the bling. Wow. Look at this. That's awesome. Official Nintendo seal of quality right here. I mean, he ain't wrong. Kevin hooked me up with the big Madball, David's Me, the graphic. Yeah, your logo. Yeah, the logo. So, he came to me yesterday and he has something. I don't know what it is. All right, let me close my eyes. Tell me if he's coming.
[00:56:50] Speaker 9: Not yet. Not yet. I'll hold you. Stay right here. Okay, I'm right here. You're good. You're safe. I'll tell you. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Now, open up your eyes. Look at that. To go with the sign. I got you. And the baby version of it, too. That is so cool.
[00:57:13] Speaker 13: And the best part is I'm not charging anything. It's all for you.
[00:57:16] Speaker 9: Look at that.
[00:57:17] Speaker 13: No, it's all for you.
[00:57:23] Speaker 9: It gets emotional. It's very touchy. I know, I know. It's a very touchy one. David, that is awesome.
[00:57:31] Speaker 1: If you know, you know. And if you don't know, Dave, it's me, is for my dad. In fact, I put a video out recently on the origin of this channel. So if you haven't seen it, check it out. There's a link in the description below.
[00:57:49] Speaker 13: Oh, yeah. Thank you. Yeah. I couldn't quite do the, you know, the grid, the graded that you had. This is perfect. I thought this was a cool filament. This is perfect. It kind of looks different.
[00:58:00] Speaker 1: And I think this is a perfect size to go right next to it on the wall. Yeah.
[00:58:04] Speaker 13: I think I'll make two and do whatever.
[00:58:06] Speaker 1: Best pickup of the weekend and it's, and it's like not even 10 minutes in.
[00:58:11] Speaker 10: What booth?
[00:58:12] Speaker 1: Oh, this is, I'm so late.
[00:58:14] Speaker 10: CC Games. CC Games. CC Games. Kevin. Just be up on, on Instagram, CC Games CEO.
[00:58:21] Speaker 1: Well, yeah, dude. Your work is so good. This is, put it down at the bottom. This is incredible.
[00:58:25] Speaker ?: Yeah.
[00:58:26] Speaker 10: You see the little light.
[00:58:27] Speaker 1: Oh, I'm, dude, I'm not even worried about it. Thank you. Come here. Yeah, man. I appreciate you.
[00:58:33] Speaker 10: Yeah, I appreciate you too, man. Thank you, Kevin.
[00:58:35] Speaker 1: Okay. Seriously. Thank you, Kevin. Many hours later. So it's five o'clock and day one is done. What a day at Retro Fest, Arkansas. Retro Rick Fest. Retro Palooza Fest. Retro Rick Palooza. Rick a Palooza, whatever you guys want to call it. Day one is done and it was a great day. Now we're on to the after party. And maybe we'll go get food trucks. Maybe. I just ate, I just ate Whataburger. Whataburger. How do you pronounce it? What's a burger?
[00:59:20] Speaker 10: Whataburger?
[00:59:21] Speaker 1: Whataburger? But it's what. It's a water burger. What a burger. I think that's what it is. It's been a long day. Let's go get some food and let's go and hang out with some friends. That's going to wrap up our time on day one for Retro Fest, Arkansas 2. Guys, stay tuned because there is so much more hunting to go. We have day two and it is going to get absolutely wild. More friends, more pickups, more grails. And remember at the beginning of this entire Retro Fest, Arkansas road trip series, I mentioned I'm looking for some gremlins. I am going to look for some gremlins. I think gremlins is going to be one of the things that I want to look for here and this weekend. And now is the time. We manifested it. Just wait and see. Buy some my pep monster.
[01:00:13] Speaker 14: Well, is it even still there? So I actually tried to buy it yesterday. What is that? I leave it at home.
[01:00:18] Speaker 1: I'll come alone. This is uncanny. Pool really stinks. Just say no to drugs. And that's why it's good being me. This thing is sweet. Something I've never seen before. There was a return policy? This is like the LeBron decision. I feel like I had one of these. I'm coming to pick up my piece.
[01:00:36] Speaker 4: What do you want? Can you open up a box?
[01:00:37] Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, guys, you heard it.
[01:00:40] Speaker 14: That is gorgeous, dude.
[01:00:48] Speaker 4: Dave, it's me.
[01:00:49] Speaker 6: What is that? VHS for my pep monster. The animated tip. What?
[01:00:56] Speaker 1: Is this for sale?
[01:00:57] Speaker 6: It is.
[01:00:59] Speaker 1: I don't have this one. It's got the video camera. That is very nice. You look at this. Look at how, like, that must have been sitting in, like, a video rental store.
[01:01:09] Speaker 6: You can tell which side was sitting out.
[01:01:10] Speaker 1: And then, boom. Wow. What are you asking on this? 20 bucks. 20 bucks. I mean, I'm not even going to argue with you. I'm not even going to argue. Let's take a look at this thing. You know, I was, the reason I even was, when I was walking down, I was like, oh, look. He looks familiar. That's because you bought him yesterday. Look at that. My Pet Monster. Monster Movie Mayhem. Be Kind Rewind. Pathmark video. I like this. It's got the barcode sticker that says, my pet monster. That's sick. Yeah. We'll do that. Thanks for looking out. Did you just, like, go home and go through some stuff?
[01:01:52] Speaker 6: I was going to say, I knew I had it at the house. Yeah. I'll bring it up the next day.
[01:01:55] Speaker 1: Oh, I appreciate it. Do you have doubles? Or is that from your personal? Yeah, that's from personal. Oh, my God, dude. So, this guy right here, this Godzilla, I actually have that as my childhood Godzilla. And I do have one like this, but it was an earlier model. So, seeing those two next to each other is wild. And here they are. These are my actual Godzillas from childhood, and they still sit here in the toy room. Super happy to still have these in my possession. Now, Eric does have a bunch of cool things at his booth, and it looks like on day two, he even went back home, pulled out some more stuff, and, well, let's check it out. The Mario sealed with the plastic on the hands. And the hat. And the hat, yeah. We've got number one. What are you asking on the number one? You said this one does not have the poster. 150. And then, how about the link? That is 40. 40. I think I do have that one. We've got the Hulkster. What is this one? This is the bonus issue, the 95. Street Fighter Mega Man X2?
[01:03:10] Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
[01:03:10] Speaker 1: Oh, the Earthworm Jim is really nice. This is the best one. Mm-hmm. Let's show the people what's inside there.
[01:03:16] Speaker 6: Best colors on the front, obviously.
[01:03:18] Speaker 1: So, this is the Virtual Boy issue, and it came with a few inserts that maybe a lot of people don't know about.
[01:03:23] Speaker 6: Super Power Supplies Catalog, which shows you all the stuff you could buy if you thumb through it. Wow, look at that.
[01:03:30] Speaker 1: That's cool. And then, it's wild that this was not inserted into it. Like, you had to pull it out.
[01:03:40] Speaker 6: It does have the poster.
[01:03:41] Speaker 1: The poster is Killer Instinct. And then...
[01:03:45] Speaker 6: It has them there. And then it has the Virtual Boy cards. Oh, this here. And the 3D glasses.
[01:03:50] Speaker 1: The 3D glasses for the Virtual Boy. Now, I think this... I don't know what this sells for alone, but... Yeah, and then the 3D, the Virtual Boy cards as well. And it's not an expensive issue.
[01:04:04] Speaker 6: No.
[01:04:04] Speaker 1: It's only about 20 bucks. What is this game?
[01:04:07] Speaker 6: Just Say No to Drugs.
[01:04:08] Speaker 1: Just Say No to Drugs. The board game.
[01:04:10] Speaker 6: It was actually sealed, but it ripped, so I opened it. Okay. The back is just every peer pressure sound you've heard as a kid.
[01:04:16] Speaker 1: Answering open-ended questions such as, What makes you special? Why do you think it's a good idea to Say No to Drugs and Alcohol? Who do you talk to when you have a problem? Okay. And then, here's the game board. And it's just got these wild... Where is it? Don't worry, it's safe. It won't hurt you. You can handle it. You're not afraid, are you? No one will like you. Nice... Wow. They go hard. Mm-hmm. And then, look, it's the swamp of excuses and the web of lies. This is... Classic 80s. Crazy. Talk about something else. And what is the cost on this guy?
[01:05:00] Speaker 6: He is 20 bucks.
[01:05:01] Speaker 1: 20 bucks. Can we open it and look at the board? Oh, my gosh. What? You slip, slide back. Stuck in the alley.
[01:05:13] Speaker ?: Stuck in the alley.
[01:05:13] Speaker 1: Oh, my jeez. There's even a trap door. This Just Say No board game is absolutely wild. I have never seen it before, nor did I even know of its existence until this moment in Eric's booth. Like I said, Eric had some really great items. One of my favorite booths at RetroFest Arkansas. And as I'm leaving, I did spot Sprooch, and he had some pickups. So, what'd you get? I got an acrylic sign. Is that just a... You got to peel that off? Yeah. Is this official, or is this someone hand-made it?
[01:05:50] Speaker 19: He said they were... He's had them forever, so I don't know.
[01:05:53] Speaker 1: Okay.
[01:05:53] Speaker 19: I mean, they're not official, but I don't know exactly.
[01:05:56] Speaker 1: I mean, it's still cool. And then, what else you got here? Starship Troopers. This remote control hopper bug. This is sealed?
[01:06:05] Speaker 19: Yeah.
[01:06:06] Speaker 1: That's so cool. And you collect Starship Troopers. I do. So, have you seen much of it out? No. I'm starting to learn that Starship Troopers was a lot bigger than I had originally imagined.
[01:06:18] Speaker 19: It's not a ton of stuff for it, and you don't find a ton for it. Yeah. You know, hologram?
[01:06:24] Speaker 1: Oh, holograms. The Spider-Man.
[01:06:28] Speaker 19: One of my grail cards is, of that, numbered out of 10.
[01:06:32] Speaker 1: Dan Marino.
[01:06:34] Speaker 19: Is that Dan Marino?
[01:06:35] Speaker 1: Oh, I just saw the... Whatever, man. I just saw the dolphin. Whenever you see a dolphin, you think Dan Marino. Just like bulls. You see bulls, you think Michael Jordan. And just for the record, guys, this is not... This is a reprint of Honus Wagner, because the original would not be $120.
[01:06:55] Speaker 21: It'd be like $100 million.
[01:06:57] Speaker 1: $120 million. Wow. Doors are officially open to everybody, and I'm going to just kind of go around to some booths that I didn't really get to spend a whole lot of time with, and just do some digging. I'd like to find something for my daughter Kylie, so we're going to look at this booth. This booth has tons of girl stuff. I'm here. I'm here for the girl toys.
[01:07:19] Speaker 15: Do you have boy toys here?
[01:07:20] Speaker 1: Yeah, but I want to get them for my daughter, so I need the girl toys. Oh, they do. Look at this little stitch. She does love the stitch. I love this one right here. And then the Rainbow Brights. Love the Rainbow Brights. Little dig bins here. Grumpy Bear is my guy. Oh, we got some He-Man down here. Very nice. Like, I like the bag up. They're very clean. Very clean. Really nice. Oh, the paper doll book. That's very cool. Oh, and a Wuzzle. There's the Wuzzle. Some Care Bears. Oh, the bunny. Swift Heart. Don't ever see that one. We have a Falcor on a pumpkin. Walking around more, I did spot somebody in the distance. That had a very strong resemblance of another friend of mine. A friend that, in fact, I had to go pick up a few items from. Craig. We found a Craig clone here. He was just walking down that way. He has a black and white flannel shirt on. A hat. Like, dude, it's like a spitting image. No, it definitely wasn't Ed. Flannel and a hat. I heard about these NARC crates.
[01:08:59] Speaker 20: Yeah, NARC crates. So what are NARC crates? So I made 16 of these. There's everything from vintage TMNT, all sorts of vintage action figures. Retail value, 65, up to $100. There's three of them that retail around $100. So there's a number inside the box, one through 16, at the end of the show. I'm going to rip the wheel. And if you've never remembered Apple, I'm just going to win a hotspot on top of that. What's retail on a hotspot? $350. Wow. So it's a good little, like, a little gamble. Sweet. Roll the dice. And what else you got? You got some blue ones, right? Yeah, the Scare Glow. You got the Scare Glow, and then you got the Muscle. Those are awesome. Yeah, these are sick, dude. And where'd these come from? So my wife made these. That's amazing. Yeah, super cool. Super dope. But you came by earlier, and you're like, hey, I like this color. I did. It was the only color I had. Sweet.
[01:10:02] Speaker 1: So Narc did put something aside for me. We met earlier in the week. He's doing some digging.
[01:10:23] Speaker 13: Oh, there it is.
[01:10:38] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome. Craig also reached further down into this bin, and he found something that I just needed to add to my collection.
[01:10:49] Speaker 15: What is this?
[01:10:51] Speaker 20: It's a custom My Pet Monster. Where did this come from? So my wife also makes these. Get out. She hand-pins them. Puts a nice, clear coat. So it's 3D printed, but if you fill it, it's almost like an action figure.
[01:11:07] Speaker 1: Wow, that's 3D printed? Yeah.
[01:11:09] Speaker 20: And then hand-painted. Yeah.
[01:11:12] Speaker 1: Wow. Okay. Is that for sale?
[01:11:17] Speaker 20: Yes.
[01:11:18] Speaker 1: Well, I'm the My Pet Monster guy, I guess, so.
[01:11:20] Speaker 20: I got 50 on this, I got 40 on this. Okay. So we can do $70. That is a buy. For the pair.
[01:11:31] Speaker 1: This guy is amazing. The green pops, right? The green is going to go great on the mussel shelf for sure. And she made these as well. So these are all 3D printed. Yep. I can't believe.
[01:11:41] Speaker 20: Yeah, feel it, dude.
[01:11:43] Speaker 1: That does not look like a 3D printed.
[01:11:45] Speaker 20: Yeah, you really wouldn't know. No. Unless you really, really, really look. Really look, but it's all magnetic. Oh, look at that. You can interchange it if you have any other.
[01:11:55] Speaker 1: Let me take a look at this. This thing is crazy. And it's so lightweight. Yeah. That's going to look sick.
[01:12:03] Speaker 20: It's going to look really good.
[01:12:04] Speaker 1: Do you know if this one glows in the dark?
[01:12:06] Speaker 20: It doesn't. It doesn't. We have the filament to do it, but we didn't print it that way.
[01:12:10] Speaker 1: All right. And then let's take a look at this one one more time. Wow. Love this guy. Yeah. That's, dude. Sick.
[01:12:20] Speaker 20: So did she make a lot of these? She's, that's only the second one. Wow. So the shorties have one, and you have the other one as of right now.
[01:12:30] Speaker 1: Yeah. That's awesome. Thank you so much. Thank you. All right. Let's do the deal. Thank you, Craig. I am so happy to add these custom toys made by your wife to the collection. And remember when I mentioned I found your clone?
[01:12:47] Speaker 10: What's up, Craig?
[01:12:51] Speaker 1: This is uncanny. Yeah. This is...
[01:12:54] Speaker 20: Greco. Hey, Craig.
[01:13:06] Speaker 15: Oh, look.
[01:13:12] Speaker 1: I found a Greco in the wild. I can film you too, right?
[01:13:17] Speaker 12: You're not the only one with a camera attached to this. Hi. What do you want to know about?
[01:13:20] Speaker 1: Are you finding anything?
[01:13:22] Speaker 12: Uh, for my personal collection? No.
[01:13:24] Speaker 1: You're finding anything for Caleb?
[01:13:26] Speaker 12: Yes, absolutely. Caleb and DK Old. I am their personal shop. I'm upset he's not here. He's my hero. He's made me a...
[01:13:35] Speaker 1: Well, he has a new store now.
[01:13:36] Speaker 12: A thousandaire. Find anything for personal? Actually, I mean, well, not technically personal. But I do need a copy of Metal Gear because I have the box and the manual. I just don't have the game. But this seems to be everybody's asking price. Fifteen. I don't want to pay fifteen. Hello, shop, shop, Keith. Hello.
[01:13:55] Speaker 10: What is it that you want to pay?
[01:13:56] Speaker 12: What do I want to pay?
[01:13:57] Speaker 10: What does Greco want to pay?
[01:13:59] Speaker 12: I want to pay eight dollars. Eight dollars? Yeah.
[01:14:01] Speaker 10: Greco wants to pay eight dollars? I do. Okay. Pay eight dollars.
[01:14:04] Speaker 12: I'm going to pay eight dollars.
[01:14:05] Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's why it's good being me. I knew Alex would be looking at this eventually.
[01:14:10] Speaker 14: So I actually tried to buy it yesterday. Stop it. It's sold.
[01:14:13] Speaker ?: Wait.
[01:14:14] Speaker 1: So what happened? It's not sold anymore?
[01:14:16] Speaker 14: No. You know, people trade.
[01:14:17] Speaker 11: People order. They bring it back because they want something else.
[01:14:22] Speaker 1: I bought it. There was a return policy?
[01:14:24] Speaker 11: No. He brought it back and traded for something else. Oh.
[01:14:28] Speaker 1: Dude, this artwork is insane.
[01:14:30] Speaker 11: Look at the back of the box. Back of the box is what gets it.
[01:14:33] Speaker 14: God. Geez, man. Wait. Also, because you, much like myself, are an organized person. Yes, I am. Look at the organization of everything in here.
[01:14:43] Speaker 1: So this is complete?
[01:14:45] Speaker 14: Yeah. I mean, this is a little bit.
[01:14:46] Speaker 1: No, that's fine. But it has the hair. It has everything. What is the price on something like this? Yeah. Oh, it comes with this Chinese container as well? Little General Tso's chicken, right? Look at that.
[01:14:59] Speaker 14: Those are all original Ziploc bags. Yes. So I need to ask you and Scrooge a favor. Can I, will you please, please drive this back to Connecticut?
[01:15:10] Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll strap it to the room.
[01:15:12] Speaker 14: Exactly.
[01:15:13] Speaker 1: I think there's a storm coming, though. There is another thing that I think that is kind of interesting that would be right up both of our alleys. Okay. Do you remember these? The slime time? The slime time? I don't.
[01:15:27] Speaker 21: Check, check. All right. Retro Fest.
[01:15:30] Speaker 1: Thanks, Rick.
[01:15:31] Speaker 21: You're 10 minutes away from Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Sign up.
[01:15:35] Speaker 1: I feel like I had one of these. And I want to say I might have had this one, the bat.
[01:15:43] Speaker 14: But this is, this is very cool. I feel like this is a little bit before my time. You think so? But I feel like it's like right up my alley as well. Yeah, it's 86, so it's definitely before your time. Seven years before my time.
[01:15:54] Speaker 11: I know everybody's going to laugh, but I had that one.
[01:15:59] Speaker 1: I think I had a bat. I like the frog.
[01:16:01] Speaker 11: I had the frog.
[01:16:02] Speaker 1: Yeah. Because I didn't care for snake. I'd have to ask my mom to see if I had this, but it looks so familiar. I feel like this is an Alex piece right here. Look at that.
[01:16:14] Speaker 11: I don't know what he did with X-L-Sport.
[01:16:15] Speaker 1: How much is that?
[01:16:17] Speaker 11: Seventy-five, fifty, and fifty.
[01:16:21] Speaker 1: Wow. Let me see. Watch this. Is it attached?
[01:16:25] Speaker 11: It's just on the piece of paper, yeah.
[01:16:26] Speaker 1: Okay. No, no, no. I don't want to upset any.
[01:16:30] Speaker 11: He just got, we just got it taped to it.
[01:16:32] Speaker 1: Oh, oh, yeah.
[01:16:33] Speaker 11: Because that was an original drawing sketch behind it. Oh, yeah, see? They painted it on it, and you put three or four of them.
[01:16:41] Speaker 1: So, you know that that's original because you can see the paint strokes on the back. Yep. And he's got 75 on it.
[01:16:48] Speaker 14: So, I have the one from the Comic-Con episode where we have Super Slammo, and it's Super Slammo in his outfit. Okay. Which I also have the storyboarding.
[01:16:58] Speaker 1: That one's just nice and fills the frame.
[01:17:01] Speaker 14: It's massive. I have one of the app already, but I got to think about the streets. Yeah. But we might be coming back in a little bit for it. That's nice.
[01:17:07] Speaker 1: Kapow Comics and Toys, in my opinion, has the craziest inventory here at RetroFest. And we're going to pick this up with them a little bit later in the video. The sealed turtles game. That is insanely cool.
[01:17:24] Speaker 18: Look at that pot.
[01:17:26] Speaker 1: Wow.
[01:17:30] Speaker 13: We got a whole box of raisins.
[01:17:35] Speaker 1: These are cool.
[01:17:40] Speaker 15: So, we got sealed ones.
[01:17:47] Speaker 1: And loose ones. Oh, and a whole bag of Dick Tracy figures. Oh, the snotty sign stickers. 30 on that. School really stinks. I had so many of these as a kid. I think I still might have some, but yeah. Chris is seriously stupid. So funny. 15 signs in each pack. So good. And it's like $30 on the whole set. And then on the back side, we have the puzzle pieces. I forgot what it forms. I don't know if it forms this or something else, but insanely cool. Alex just found this Scholastic Hot Dog Magazine. How to score higher at Nintendo games. Something I've never seen before. I know Carp was looking for this. So, we picked it up for Carp. It's issue number 58. It's got this little advertisement in there. How to score Nintendo games. Hot Dog gives you some hot tips. Look at that. Look at that.
[01:19:12] Speaker ?: Look at that.
[01:19:12] Speaker 1: Super Mario Brothers in there. Punch Out. How to play it. Kung Fu Bubble Bobble. It's got a Garfield cartoon. Look at this. Look at this. This is wild. Don't forget the elephants. So, it is a Scholastic Hot Dog Magazine. So, it has all of the normal Scholastic stuff. But, yeah. Get a kick from Karate with Ralph Macchio. Get out of here. This is so cool. Roger Rabbit's in here. Cool. And it's a little scratch off that hasn't been scratched off yet. Look at that. There's a Ghostbusters 2 one. This might be a new, like, deep dive that we have to look into now. It's seeing what kind of IPs they have issues for. And it's even got the back that is not even punched of to make a, looks like a flashlight puppet show. Wow. Awesome. I'm just hanging here at Sprooge's booth. And our good friend Matty comes over. And he has to show me about his latest pickup at Retro Fest.
[01:20:40] Speaker 2: I need to show you this.
[01:20:41] Speaker 1: What do you need to show me?
[01:20:42] Speaker 2: I'm on the Nintendo Power Kick when I'm here. Okay. And I just want to show you. Oh, you got it. Yeah.
[01:20:49] Speaker 1: This is my favorite issue.
[01:20:51] Speaker 2: I know. It's my favorite issue.
[01:20:52] Speaker 1: Wait, did you, is it because I told you? Or you saw it in my video? In your video. Get out of here. For sure, man.
[01:20:58] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[01:20:59] Speaker 1: Get out. So, did you look through it? What do you think? Is it, is it complete?
[01:21:03] Speaker 2: It's complete. No way. I knew what to look for thanks to your video. No way. For sure, for sure. So, that's like the cool. All right. So, let's see. So, I love this.
[01:21:12] Speaker 1: Yeah. And then, the, yep.
[01:21:14] Speaker 2: Yeah.

[01:21:21] Speaker 2: The poster.
[01:21:21] Speaker 1: The poster. We got the Ren and Sticky poster. The Ren and Sticky in there. Can I ask how much it cost?
[01:21:28] Speaker 2: It was $3 for $25.
[01:21:30] Speaker 1: Stop it.
[01:21:31] Speaker 2: I don't know. Is this an expensive issue? That's a $20 book. No way. Yeah. There's a guy in the back. Like, yeah.
[01:21:38] Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's great.
[01:21:39] Speaker 2: So, does it have the...

[01:23:40] Speaker 1: So, now we got all of Maddie's secrets.
[01:23:42] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:23:43] Speaker 1: Don't tell anybody. I've been telling everybody, like, even on the podcast. I don't know if I, I think I said, I was like, I'm so excited to meet Maddie. Cool, man. Because Maddie's like never here. No. I keep watching Maddie on all of Ed's videos. So, check out Ed's Retro Geek Out. For sure. And I will say, you do pick up, you do a lot of video games.
[01:24:03] Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
[01:24:03] Speaker 1: That's my main thing. And so, I love the dynamic between you and Ed because Ed learns a lot from you as well.

[01:24:36] Speaker 2: I live at home.
[01:24:37] Speaker 1: I'll come alone. It was so great to finally meet Maddie in person. He is seriously one of the nicest dudes I have ever met. And I can't wait for our next toy hunting adventure together. But speaking of the nicest people I've ever met, check this out.
[01:24:56] Speaker 20: So I saw this in Chief's video.
[01:24:58] Speaker 1: Yes.
[01:24:58] Speaker 20: Toy Base 10.
[01:24:59] Speaker 1: And you know, he paid $20 each.
[01:25:01] Speaker 20: Son of a gun.
[01:25:02] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I already called him out on it.
[01:25:05] Speaker 20: But yeah, these are just so cool. This is a display. Yeah. On a pin, gun ball, or machine.
[01:25:11] Speaker 1: I picked one up day one from him. I made sure I got one with like each character. Each character. And the cards are nice. Like, this one's a nice flat one. Yeah. You know, I think you just got to watch out with like, you know, some of this that kind of like bleeding a little bit on the card. Yeah. But yeah. Are you going to pick any up? Yeah.
[01:25:31] Speaker 20: You pointed out something good. Yeah. So you like this.
[01:25:33] Speaker 1: Like the bleed on that.
[01:25:34] Speaker 20: That's kind of coming up.
[01:25:36] Speaker 1: I really like this one, though, because it's got the green slobulus.
[01:25:40] Speaker 20: They're like the eyes. Yeah.
[01:25:42] Speaker 1: I do like the ones with the horn head, though. The horn head. And then also Screamin' Mimi.
[01:25:47] Speaker 20: Yeah.
[01:25:49] Speaker 1: And then this one's crushed. Yeah. So it's hard.
[01:25:53] Speaker 20: It's hard, man.
[01:25:54] Speaker 1: This one's really nice. I think I pass on this one, but now that I'm looking at it again, I kind of want it. But again, like, look up here. See how it's coming off a little bit? But these ones are really great. It says collect all eight. So are there eight different packages? I didn't even notice that.
[01:26:13] Speaker 10: Is there eight different styles?
[01:26:16] Speaker 1: Or is it eight different characters? Because each character is different colors. So how does that work?
[01:26:23] Speaker 20: I don't know.
[01:26:26] Speaker 1: I mean, it's made in China. It's, I don't know. This is like the LeBron decision.
[01:26:34] Speaker 12: It is, dude.
[01:26:35] Speaker 1: Answer to the question everybody wants to know.
[01:26:37] Speaker 12: LeBron, what's your decision?
[01:26:39] Speaker 20: These are so cool, too. When I saw the video, I was like...
[01:26:43] Speaker 4: Bro, he had a warehouse. Where he went there. Yeah. And he opened up a box. I'm like... And what's funny, Scott went to Toy Base 10, like, 10 years ago. And he still had the... You still had the... Oh, really? From 10 years ago.
[01:26:59] Speaker 1: So wait, these are from 10 years ago?
[01:27:01] Speaker 4: Probably older. Hey, Scott. Remember when you told me about that from Toy Base 10? How long ago?
[01:27:11] Speaker 1: 10 years. 10 years. 10 years. Wow.
[01:27:12] Speaker 4: That's how long he's had them.
[01:27:13] Speaker 1: And they were just sitting and...
[01:27:14] Speaker 4: They're just... He had five in the glass case. Yeah. And when he told me 20 bucks...
[01:27:19] Speaker 1: And Billy and Jay have been there and they didn't pick them up?
[01:27:21] Speaker 4: They didn't know they didn't see it. We go to. Oh, and you haven't seen them either? Oh, they're like, wrap them up.
[01:27:25] Speaker 1: I wonder if they were just sitting in the storage.
[01:27:28] Speaker 4: Yeah, they were in the storage. Yeah. And he just brought them out. I'm assuming. And then when I picked them all up, he asked me if I wanted more. And I said, heck yeah. So we went to a storage room and he opened up. And he let me pick, like, anyone that I wanted.
[01:27:43] Speaker 1: So he had more after that?
[01:27:45] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Yeah, he had more.
[01:27:47] Speaker 1: I think someone's going to Toy Base 10.
[01:27:50] Speaker 4: Well, to be fair, my video's been out there. And they're probably already doing vultures.
[01:27:54] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[01:27:55] Speaker 4: Yeah. You're right. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
[01:27:57] Speaker 1: If you remember from episode one of my RetroFest Arkansas videos, Jay and I went over to a booth and found a New Kids on the Block tour book. And Jay was going to make a play on it, but he wanted to wait until day two to see if maybe he can get a little cheaper. So let's see how that's going to go. What's up, Jay? Hi. How are you doing?
[01:28:18] Speaker 10: Good. How's it going?
[01:28:19] Speaker 1: It's been a... Staying hydrated and safe. Yes. I took an Airborne this morning. Did you? Yes, I did. Drinking lots of water. I'm starting to feel my voice go a little bit. So yesterday, we were looking at the New Kids on the Block tour book. And he had 20 on it? 20. So now it is day two, and we are almost done with the show. An hour and a half from closing. So now you said, let's see what happens. Well, is it even still there? I believe it's still there because I was there earlier, and it's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It is still there. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor.
[01:28:55] Speaker 19: It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor.
[01:28:56] Speaker ?: It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor.
[01:29:03] Speaker 10: It's still on the floor. It's still on the floor.
[01:29:05] Speaker 1: Oh, you got it.
[01:29:06] Speaker 10: It's still on the floor.
[01:29:07] Speaker 1: 15. Nice. And sir, I have come to collect as well.
[01:29:13] Speaker 15: All right, buddy.
[01:29:16] Speaker 1: So what people don't know is that before the show, well, not before the show, but like when the show first started yesterday, which was day one, I came to the booth. I made a purchase, but he's held it for me because I didn't want to store it. And I figured it was a good display piece. There it is. This baby's coming home. This thing is sweet. This is the marionette, right? Is that what it is? It's like the ventriloquist. Yeah, sealed. That thing is and the box is so nice. So you used to have this? No, I do. You still have it. Is it your childhood?
[01:30:05] Speaker 19: No, it's actually something picked up on Toy Chasers in California.
[01:30:11] Speaker 1: But you picked it up.
[01:30:12] Speaker 19: I can't remember if I had this one or the pull string one, but the box looks about the same size as the one I had.
[01:30:16] Speaker 1: The pull string one is a lot smaller. It's a lot smaller, right? Yeah. I love that it has this in here. Like in the front with the artwork. Is that like instructions? I guess. I'm guessing. But yeah, it's super cool. And it's got all of the figures listed on the back as well.
[01:30:33] Speaker 19: I love the show.
[01:30:34] Speaker 1: Have you seen this, though?
[01:30:35] Speaker 19: Oh, damn.
[01:30:36] Speaker 1: Pro Stars.
[01:30:37] Speaker 19: Yeah. That only ran what? A season?
[01:30:40] Speaker 7: Pro Stars. In your face. I'm going to put them in that place.
[01:30:45] Speaker ?: Pro Stars. Pro Stars. Pro Stars. Pro Stars.
[01:30:49] Speaker 16: Pro Stars. It's all about helping kids. Pro Stars.
[01:30:53] Speaker 1: Enough messing around. This guy's... Now we've got to figure out... We've got to get this guy back to Connecticut. What?
[01:31:01] Speaker 10: Did you fly or drive? Oh, we drove.
[01:31:03] Speaker 1: Okay. We've got 20-something hours. We're making stops on the way.
[01:31:07] Speaker 10: You're flying that back? Yeah. It's going to be dangerous.
[01:31:10] Speaker 1: But hey, thank you so much, man. I really appreciate it. Thanks for holding it. I hope it was a good eye-catcher for you. All right, it's going to get home. Yeah, it's going to... Yeah. For sure. Now we've got to find a spot. Good job, Jay. Jay got his book. I'm happy with that. That's awesome.
[01:31:23] Speaker 19: He came down $5 with me. That's awesome. I'm really having to ask. I'm good with that. I have way too many new kids stuff that a 46-year-old man should have. Way too much.
[01:31:33] Speaker 1: You still got that punky Brewster down? I do. You have that, too. Yeah, I do. So there you go. If we're being honest, you said 46? Yeah, 46. I'm 45. Okay. So I think we all have some issues. Oh, yeah, I think so, right. That, you know, we have to figure out eventually. First and foremost, we're hoarders. So there's that. And the other thing, too, is that I always... I've come to the realization our collections are eventually going to be somebody else's collections. Or somebody else's mess to clean up. Or... One of the two. Yes. Think about it that way. So for now, it's going to sit at my house. Yeah. Because I know my son's not interested in any of that. No? No. My daughter, she loves all of it. She always wants to go downstairs and play the arcade. That's cool. Because I have that. That's cool. And my wife supports it. And having a supportive wife. That's always good. Especially to go away for a week. Yup. And do it multiple times a year. Is... That's always good. That's the... I mean... Good job, wife. That's the best thing ever. So... Well, thanks, Jay, man. It's nice to see you, man. I'll see you soon. Hopefully. I will. I'll see you soon. So we're at the end of the convention. I have to go pick up one last thing that I purchased. And they've been holding it for me. They were going to wrap it for me. And now is the time. I'm going to pick up my final piece. So we can pack it up in the car from Kapow Comics. There's the man. He's packing up. So I'm making my way. Is it wrapped up? Did you have a good weekend? I had a great weekend. I'm coming to pick up my piece.
[01:33:11] Speaker 14: What'd you have? It's right over... It's right over...
[01:33:14] Speaker 1: You guys were going to pack it up for me.
[01:33:16] Speaker 14: You mean like this?
[01:33:17] Speaker 1: This is the moment of truth. This is the moment that has been building since the very first video of the RetroFest Arkansas road trip. The first moment that I turned a camera on to document the journey to RetroFest Arkansas. I manifested it and I said, "I want a rare gremlin item." I'm looking for gremlin items. I don't want a gremlin item that I could find at any store, back home. This is the RetroFest Arkansas road trip. This is our goal. And we're here at Kapow Comics, ready to collect. I bought something here yesterday. It's in the corner there. Yep. That's coming home with me. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. But wait. Let me show you how we got here first. Matt had... He's from Kapow Comics. And he had the Shogun Godzilla that I was looking at. He sold it. And he also sold the My Pet Monster Lunchbox. I'm sorry. But I came back and found this beautiful... I mean, this thing is... No water damage. Do you mind me asking where you got it from? I bought it at a video store that saved all their stuff. Okay, were they closing or no? No, they closed. Ian had it closed for about 15 years. Okay. And it was actually the first VHS rental store in Arkansas. It's beautiful. Yeah. What's a good way, because we're from Connecticut, to transport. Do you have... I will bring up some cardboard pieces. Okay. So I can just take the cardboard shut. Okay. And it'll just, like, loosen the cardboard for him. Okay. So I'll bring that tomorrow. I'm gonna ask you, and I'm gonna shoot my shot. Would you take 150? Cash.
[01:35:13] Speaker 10: Yeah. Uh...
[01:35:15] Speaker ?: 250 is...
[01:35:16] Speaker 10: I can't quite do that much. Okay. 180.
[01:35:20] Speaker 1: 180. Okay. I'm never... I'm never gonna see this ever again. And I am a Gremlins guy. We said 180? Yeah. And that's cash.
[01:35:32] Speaker 10: Cash will do.
[01:35:33] Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for selling that, because if you did not sell that, I would not have this. How did this even happen? Let's show it to Alex and see what he thinks.
[01:35:48] Speaker 14: This is...
[01:35:50] Speaker 1: That's wild.
[01:35:52] Speaker 14: That is gorgeous, dude. It's gorgeous, dude. Yeah. I couldn't.
[01:35:58] Speaker 1: Like, look at how... There's no water damage. Yeah. You know, there's this natural... Natural crease. Natural crease. But that's fine. But dude, look at the stripe. No fading. It's got this one little crease, but I mean, you can notice that. It is. This is gonna... This is gonna pop. Yeah. It was manifested since day one of this road trip, and it has happened. We have finally found the grail item, and in my opinion, the holiest of grail items for gremlins. This thing is beautiful, and I seriously cannot believe I get to add this to the collection. We're getting to the end of day two of RetroFest Arkansas, which also means the end of the RetroFest Arkansas weekend. So, let's meet up with our good friend and man behind the convention, Retro Rick. Rick, I just want to say thank you for having me. Oh my God. It was such a good time. I love hanging out with us. Your staff is amazing. I loved every second of it. I picked up so many cool things that I never thought I was gonna find.
[01:37:15] Speaker 21: A lot more toy people than we thought, honestly.
[01:37:17] Speaker 1: I honestly thought I was walking into a video game convention, so I was so surprised, and I think that made it really exciting for me, too. And all of the things that you did with the stage. Oh, yeah, yeah. The after party. I made sure that I grabbed a couple of the ICs so I can bring a cup home to Kylie. The fact that they're color changing.
[01:37:37] Speaker 21: He made sure. Oh, yeah. He tucked it out and had three snow cones.
[01:37:42] Speaker 1: Well, actually, funny story. You and I were sitting, and you were eating one. Yeah. And then you left your cup, so I grabbed that, too. So I do have three.
[01:37:50] Speaker 21: Oh, believe me, I have plenty. Yeah. I always appreciate you. I always appreciate hanging out with you. Yeah. I just always wish we had more time.
[01:37:57] Speaker 1: I mean, you're busy. You have some time. You know, you got to do your thing. You guys worked so hard, and it shows. I can't wait for next year, and I'm going to tell you. Uh-oh.
[01:38:09] Speaker ?: My favorite convention.
[01:38:10] Speaker 1: Dang. Guys, you heard it. Yeah.
[01:38:13] Speaker 21: You heard it from Dave. I'm just saying. It was so fun. I might feel like I'm going to die, but at least we put on a good convention. It was a really good show. Dave said it was a really good show. It was a really good show. Thanks for having me, man. Always love hanging out. Can't wait till next year.
[01:38:26] Speaker 1: We're going to make it happen, bro. Let's go.
[01:38:28] Speaker 21: Let's do it.
[01:38:29] Speaker 1: RetroFest Arkansas was awesome. I cannot wait to get back down there. I still can't believe that I found that Gremlins VHS display.
