Re: "Not A Funko Pop In Sight" - Step Back In Time With This Amazing '90s Electronics Boutique Footage

Hi, this is my favorite website (read it every day) and finally posted to say that I believe I know exactly when this was taken. At the very end of the video is a shot of the counter. You can see (and I may be totally wrong in this) EGM2 issues in the cabinet pockets in front of the staff members. Looking closely, I believe these are of EGM2 issue 3 (cover with darkstalkers), which says clearly on the cover (if you look it up) to display only until October 18, 1994 (bottom left side below barcode). Also, another clue are the doom 2 boxes front and center! Doom 2 launched October 10 1994 in the US! This would put the video in an 8 day window in October 1994! Finally, it’s probably that time as the mall goers are still wearing Tshirts (if it were Dec to Mar they’d have jackets or coats on. So mid October 1994 is my guess!

Thanks for these great articles! I’m always looking forward to your content!
