We went slightly over budget...

The gaming market hosted an impressive variation of different stalls. It was refreshing to see so many different vendors with original and unique products being sold. Here's a list of what we bought:

Firstly, we each bought a coaster from Mojoe Ink with a 4 for £10 deal, three with a Pokémon game design, and one replicating a lucky block from Mario. They are the cutest addition to our coffee table and have sparked up fun conversations at pre drinks!

Arguably the most impressive vendor to us was Retro Dojo. Admittedly, we almost missed this one, but noticed it on our way out - and we were so glad we did. This stall had a plethora of different, hand-customised lego figures on displayer, and I think we must've spent a good 15 minutes just gawking over how much detail and effort had been put into these little guys. They were only £3 each, so it felt wrong to leave without buying any. We brought hime Super Sonic, Venom, and Darth Malgus.

When we found Bill PCs stand with an insane amount of vintage Sonic merchandise, we were instantly sold. After a while of debating, Adam settled on some retro Sonic playing cards for £4. Each suit had a different character on (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy), with Metal Sonic being the Joker cards.

It's not a gaming market if there isn't a stall with a mountain of plushies - and Bad FX Games had the cutest. As a loyal Yoshi main, no matter the game I'm playing, I had to take him home with me for a reasonable £12. Adam also bought a Pikachu disguised as a Garchomp for £12 too.

From the moment Keyon walked into the gaming market, he decided he would be a Waluigi cap if he found one, and thankfully he did for £6, also from Bad FX Games!

Our team had an amazing time at the Newcastle Gaming Market and we are so thankful to Replay Events for the invite! Looking forward to the next one.
