Game Store owner had INSTANT REGRET 

Pops do well, but I think for a store like yours, stay away. They take up SOOOO much space and they're never ending. You'll think you have the complete collection and then they release more for you to get. It just doesn't stop... (Coming from someone who once had over 1200 pops... In an apartment.)

Kris is a hell of a dude, love watching and listenining to his commentary on Pixel Plus.

What a fantastic owner . You could just feel his passion for gaming and collecting !

As a reseller, I find old horror vhs tapes sell the best. Also people love the 80s more than the 90s and especially if it’s the first release.

Don't carry Pops. In a few years you will have an entire backroom of just unsold Pops, trust me, not a road you want to go down. Plus the insane and annoying collectors who dig through and mess up the display and order you spent so much time on. Pops are the worst, take up a ton of space, don't net much $$$, and they constantly send you more and more when you already have shelves of unsold product.

Great video. Poor Riff missed out. Love it when Chris and Riff are in Video's.

Lol at Chris and Rick’s store owner instincts kicking in at the same time 13:15

The Bruce Almighty spoon scene gets me every time 😁😂

It seems like the people in nerd or geek culture are really some of the most decent and coolest folks anywhere around. I appreciate the hell outta the positive vibes I get from watching this content. Joe is a bad dude!

I would love to meet Rick. I am not much into retro collecting myself but I enjoy watching this very much.

Retro rick with a cracked out side ways hat is. .....PERFECTION...

You guys are great together. Love it.

Pops are a slippery slope. If you go that route, just carry ones that fit the store feel, retro and gaming inspired. Well done on the ro sham bo for the shirt!!

So awesome of him doing that for you Rick with the shirt, That's what true friends do.

Imo I think stocking pops is a good thing providing you keep with the feel of the store and don't fall in to the trap of collecting or hunting pops , yeah some are expensive but you may wait months for someone to find and buy it where as affordable pops will always sell quicker , not everyone has hundreds to spend on nostalgia so keeping the range affordable should provide good turn over .

With the pops if you are going to try a small section, Funko made a line of pops literally called retro toys so they made pops of Stretch arm strong, furrbies, trolls, ect. I would go with those if you are planning on trying a small section.

Love that Nintendo merch. Those game cases kept intact made my day. I can't believe game hunters are still finding this kind of stuff but I'm so glad they are. I can only dream of finding gaming grails like that stuff. Keep up the great work, guys!

Not a fan of pops but you should create a small section and see if they sells. You should test to see what your market responds to

Such a great fun video! All these guys seem like such good dudes.

So much joy in this video. Thank you guys!

He has so much rad stuff in his store. And that shirt is so sick!

😂 😂 puts the Pokémon game down and says my turn. 😂 classic. Always a great time with Retro Rick. You always seem to amaze me the stuff you come across. That world championship tee is 🔥🔥. I appreciate the education on it with Donkey Kong being the original one. Always looking forward to the next content drop.

Forget the Pops, those things are dying just like Beanie Babies.

Couldn't stop smiling watching this video! Love it!

I’m a store manager for a major British retailer and you sound like us talking about shop layout!

Funk yeah, Rick. I love this community of gaming friends...yll are my favorites to watch on youtube hands down!

Congratulations, Rick

Don't think I've ever seen Rick let someone else buy an item when they both want it. Riff is constantly letting rick have things they both want but Rick always seems to be like "no I want it" or "I saw it first"

He says, "alright, my turn" LoL

Pops you’re going down a deep rabbit hole that doesn’t seem to stop. You might be stuck with a back room full of pops that just don’t sell. However, they do sell really well too. I have a friend in Fl that has a retro store, and he does really well selling pops. He does sit on some for a long time too. Just something to think about.

I thought Rick was gonna run outside and yell "It's FOR MY SON" LOL!!!

Yeah keep those Mario walkie talkies in the box on a shelf, because i can tell you I had them as a kid they have the range of someone whispering in a telephone string cup.

Would you rather Q: buy a Dreamcast bundle with sonic adventure and Crazy taxi or a genesis bundle with sonic 1 and Mk 1

You don't need the Pops!! Take up too much space. Great video!!! Man Kris's store is freaking awesome!!!!!! Good ole Rock, Paper, Scissors!!

That neo geo he has are awesome cabinets...they have a system that takes cartridges and very collectible and had great games

I hate when my favourite stores just turn into a sea of pop figures. They've taken over and ruined some of my childhood favourite stores.

Well, if you think about it. You can just Google that retro Mario picture. Have a shirt print shop print that into a shirt. Then you don't have to pay ridiculous amount of money for a Mario shirt from way back then.

back in highschool in the mid 2000's i took some marketing classes they were pretty fun. ill never look at some movies the same way again.. one of the assignments we were watching BTTF and we had to count all the product placements in the movie like all the times a pepsi sign or someone drinking a pepsi.. a clock brand, and emblem on a car etc.. just anything that had a name to a real life company and it was really fun. makes you think about how much those companies paid to have it in the movie or for someone to drink it in the movie. and when you understand the way the mind works about all of it. its quite interesting. all those commercials you still remember the jingle to and can sing along to it all these years later? also marketing. make it catchy enough to remember and people will buy from your business if theyre looking for that kind of service.

Chris was saying the PlayStation Kiosk is all cardboard and no metal at all, but there was twisted metal on the screen .... lol

lmao the stuff that guy had bought from riff had Rick like "Mario 3 walkie talkies are they from you🤨"

Some of the skate vids from the 90s-00s are hard to find online, so nice that there are still VHS copies out there.

Omg 😭 i grew up in San Francisco, born in 90 . There was this place called “ the jungle “ right on top of the toys r us building .. it was a arcade/obstacle course for kids.. and my FAVORITE game to play in there was the SUPER MARIO PINBALL MACHINE .. I have never seen one again. But now I know they are still out there.. I will find one and buy one 😭

You both seem extra happy, comfortable and authentic in this video. Great to see, may that trend continue. :)

That rock paper scissors match was intense.

Nice to see someone else says " rock, paper, scissors, SAYS, shoot" Thats how it always was as a kid growing up in brooklyn But then when I moved it seemed like i was crazy when noone included "says"..."says" was a whole shoot, cant play against someone who's shooting their hand a whole word before you are. Haha. Dont know why I thought of that 😂. Love your videos for sure!!

As a kid I had that Chicago Bulls shirt that Rick is wearing. That shirt is definitely over 30 years old. I've been looking for it for a long time, but haven't found it yet 😢

Gotta love these videos with ZERO TOXICITY...

The “my turn” at the end had me rolling… great video boys 🍻

I'm a simple guy. I see a new Retro Rick video I click! 😂

Cheap Finds Gold Mines!! What happened to those guys!? Really liked watching their videos

The price stickers on Pokemon cards is one of the best ideas I've seen in a while.

i would only carry pops you find in the wild for dirt cheap and can flip. this way you're more in control. you don't have to worry about being completely under and having a surplus.

No pops Those things are going to fill the landfills instead of regular garbage......

A Liquor Store by my HS in Westminster, CA had that Super Mario Pinball back in the day

7:08 best GAME OF ALL TIME

Been awhile since I watched a whole vid. This one's a keeper

I miss this kinds of videos! It reminds of the old school Retro Rick from 2020. Lol 😂

That owner is awesome!

That Bulls shirt Rick wears is pretty dope

Back in the mid 90's we used to say. " stuck on stupid. ".... pay no attention to him he's stuck on stupid.

I'd definitely build something to brace that cardboard stand better. All it would take is a customer accidentally denting the cardboard with a trip or fall, then goodbye kiosk.

That turbografx-16 Bonk shirt is so cool

Duuude, at 6:45 I want that Mortal Kombat Deception shirt with the Gamecrazy logo.

one of my favorite videos so far!

That Mario pinball is a thing of beauty 😍😍

what a great store he has! so cool that riff found him those nes shelves too!! those r sick!!

I'd buy that shirt with no hesitation

9:06 Unspoken rizz

Definitely got "this place used to be a Blockbuster" vibes.

Rick has plot armor 😂

I love the community! Great video guys!

This video goes dummy hard dawg. Stupid clean back hit with that Pokémon snap kiosk

Rick is cutting that puppy into a sweet half shirt and going to wear it on hot days playing basketball at the local elementary school.

That MBs pin goes for $4k to $5k. They landed a deal. The Topper is for Nintendo VS Super Mario Bros.

You're the best looking one here... besides me and Rick bahaha. Got em!

Bro that jaguar and bonks adventure fit is insane! 🔥🔥🔥

I love how everyone is already hommies. Your gangs corner on the gaming market is astounding. Gang gang. There one for yuh lol..

3:30 Christmas Eve on Sesame Street??? On the top shelf.

I had that exact same Jordan tshirt. I wore it ALOT LOL

Just realize I was at that game store with the Jean jacket retro Rick lol

seems like it was 2-2 in the bet? what am i missing?

He’s like this is all mine now, you may leave!

Rick, you better buy something. Anyways, that was an insanely generous and kind to even offer that deal or opportunity. Very blessed! 🦀💲💲👀👀🦀

Chris is the coolest dude, reminds me of Dustin Johnson for some reason. Just too much swag 😎

If your going to carry Funko, I would stick with store related pops like he said (vintage character/ gamer pops), and exclusives also tend to do well

"Dummy Hard!" lol

Riff and Retro Rick always a good time

certain pops do well but there are so many just random ones i would think it wouldnt be cost effective to carry them

Lmfao "My turn...."

Grail papa is a good dude!

oh that tekken shirt in the back 8:10 would be super cool, i use to have a Link shirt that was super badass but i lost it, it was black and it had adult Link in the center and if i remember correctly he was swinging his sword down in kinda a lunge.

Seeing that PS1 kiosk, I instantly remembered the demo discs for some reason

That's an awesome game store cuz I'm stuck in des arc Arkansas in a nursing home and my family pretty much disowned me

Thats whats up, I never knew half this stuff existed and Ive been gaming since 92.

Never been so antsy over a rock paper scissors match before lmao

I would say no pops but maybe that will bring in new buyers into the retro game world 🤷‍♂️

I have the exact same World of Nintendo Cabinet 😎😅. Great store guys.

The POPS bubble is already bursting. Just look how many Funko literally destroyed as it was cheaper than storing them in a Warehouse. I would keep a small range of nostalgic/gaming ones and thats it.

WOAAAAH whole bunch of nostalgia

It hard not to go into a game store that doesn't sell pop they are highly collectable and an easy way to make a profit on so why not as long as they don't over take the store. Sometimes you got to go with what sells and is popular as video game aren't always going to keep the lights on.
