I was gonna say...those 64 prices are insane...$30 for Mario 64?? $60 for mario kart 64? blah.

Dude holy shit that booth made me so mad. I was looking around the entire convention hoping for some retro or import gaming goodness, and I finally found that place and all their shit was ridiculously overpriced. So much disappointment at that booth. The rest of the con was amazing though, I got to shake Peter Mayhew's (Chewbacca) hand! And it freaked me out because his hand was HUGE. I'm 6'2"ish and I've got pretty big hands, and this guy just dwarfed me it was crazy.

Awesome convention though, can't wait to go back next year!
