#FunkoPop #GamingGrail #SoCalRetroGamingExpo
We drove 6 hours West to the SoCal Retro Gaming Expo in Ontario, California! We had the pleasure of meeting some incredible people, bought lots of games, and had a great time!
In this episode we trade a Valuable FunkoPop for a Video Gaming Grail!
This is part two of three videos in the series. Stay tuned to the next in which we interview famous gamers and talk about RPGs!
This is the video where we picked up the $1500 Funko Pop for $4 at a yard sale:

    I always knew that some Funkos had value, but that is insane. I think I said it in a previous video, but congrats on that find. I also don't see Vita stuff too often (or really at all to be honest) in my area, so I had never even heard of that game before. But now I would like it - although I may never find it lol. Great to see you guys trading and making it easier on the wallet in the long haul. I think the power of trading as well as the power of the ask is HIGHLY overlooked. Very nice prize there from Retro Rick, dude is such a great channel and person in his own right. I think the Sabrina should be a choice (if possible) for the next livestream. Feel like it would be an interesting and fun stream. Asura's Wrath is one I too have missed out on Dan, hope to find it one day for a deal. Arc the Lad is a series I have no experience with but working out a trade with a friend for either one or both of the PS2 ones. Another great video as always guys, super cool pick ups, some insane collection additions for sure. Keep up all the amazing work, and have a fantastic day. #Roadto3k

    Holy cow! Einhander was selling for $200? I swear I picked that up for $60 back around 2017? And it was actually "free" considering I had some trade-ins the day I picked it up, along with a minty looking PlayStation PSOne LCD that the store I frequented happened to have that day. One of my best deals, IMHO, because that copy of Einhander is also mint.

    We are honestly pretty happy with it. The danger of selling something so expensive on eBay is pretty intimidating to us, to be honest. Plus, after ebay fees and taxes we would have already been left with just about enough money to buy the game, so it all balanced out 😀
