happy friday! we’ve taken in a massive collection of VHS and they’re all out for the weekend, with horror classics like Evil Dead and Hellraiser, sci-fi bangers like The Matrix and Alien, and comedy romps like Ace Ventura and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure!!!

we’ve also got our very first Game Gear in the cabinet for just £135! this has been recapped and restored to an amazing quality, so grab it before it goes! visit us at the back of this weekend for these and many more retro media bargains!

the handheld is having its moment in the spotlight right now, so it’s time to get yourself one from our range! there’s versatility in the GameBoy Advance, with it being able to play the entire GB back catalogue, and the SP is great to pop in your pocket for everyday gaming. if you prefer a more stylish generation of gaming, then you should look into getting a Nintendo DS for some great casual games, or the PSP for amazing ports of PS2 classics. and for those wanting a bit more from their handheld, you can’t go wrong with the 3DS range. from standard versions to special Nintendo themed consoles, it’s a worthy investment to grab one.

all of these are priced cheaper than the high street, so why not check it all out at the back of and grab yourself a deal before someone else does!

hello there! it feels like it’s been a minute since i’ve posted myself on here and not just a bit of content for the algorithm gods to slurp up and spit out into yer feeds! i’ve had a bumpy couple of months, mainly behind the scenes, and i’ve honestly felt a bit claustrophobic in my own workspace and allowed clutter and disorganisation to take over, but i’m getting myself in a position where i can stand back up again and get rid of the static (haha) that i’ve felt recently.

events have been going great, sales have been steady, and generally everything is sound, but it’s time for a change at the Trove. over the next few weeks, things will be shifting around, disappearing, reappearing, brightening up, opening up, all positive things. all i can say is there’s some proper exciting plans in place, so keep yer eyes peeled!

this is also a great time to say that you should definitely join our Discord server! we’re 100+ strong Tapeheads (unofficial name) and we’ve recently introduced a repair service in there, so it’s worth joining for that alone. discussions are friendly, and it’s got a real sense of community to it. link where it usually is!

in the meantime, simply please keep supporting us. the fact this silly little stall has existed for nearly two years and kept me away from the anti-neurodivergent 9-5 lifestyle is crazy, and i can only thank everyone who has been in and decided to go physical. there will be some sales coming up to make space, so save up yer pennies and keep it retro with the Tape Man!

“YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK!”

beware, as THE MUMMY comes to on June 10th on glorious VHS!!! not only was this film perfectly cast to be the bisexual awakening do a generation with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz stealing the hearts of cinema goers, but it’s also one of the best action-adventure flicks ever made!
