Meet-Up at HobbyShopen!
Short notice and only relevant to a vast minority of you, BUT...
My local hoppyshop, HobbyShopen, is celebrating their 30th anniversary.
On March 30th, 31st as well as April 1st, 2nd and 4th, I (Alfabusa) will be in the shop joining the celebrations, hanging out, stocking H:TP Plushes and playing Yu-Gi-Oh against anyone who would challenge me and my 20 year old garbage children's decks (wiping the floor with me is so okay).
Karl the Deranged will be joining me on April 1st to frighten anyone who approaches.
And on April 4th, Gorkamorka will be played in the shop for anyone to join in on (no funny car model required, but you can bring your own if you'd like).
In addition, Big-D and Kevin Plushes will also be available, as well as FREE GLUE (REAL, NOT A FOOL'S PRANK)!!!!!!
Location: Norra Rådmansgatan 2, Gävle, Sweden
Between 11:00 and 18:00.
Again, quite a niche and local thing, but if anyone makes it;
you'll recognise me at the table, by both my gormlessness and the H:TP shit littering my immediate area.
I'll be more than happy to chat, hang out and play funny games!!!
Hoping to see literally any one of you there, but if not, its ALL good, don't worry, I'll be in HobbyShopen, which is my favourite place to be in general.
EDIT: If you got Pokémon Gen 3 games on the Game Boy Advanced OR FR/LG on the Switch, I'll totally trade or battle or record mix with you 'cause I spend all my little free time playing Gen 3 games rn don't know why I didn't think of this when writing the post PLEASE LET ME RECORD MIX WITH YOU

Time for a trip to GÄVLE to check out this store on SATURDAY THE 4TH and plan how THE BOCK WILL BURN NEXT YEAR
Will the event be live streamed? It would be quite awesome to watch!
Welp, the Agorithm™ is going to be giving me advertisements for flights to Sweden for months now...
DAMN IT! I want that Kevin plushy so BAD!!! If only I could afford to fly to SveRIgE
How I wish I was had the funds to travel to SWEDÄEN
I wish I lived in Europe and was also a real person :( Glad for your HobbyShopen's thirty years of running though! Here's to thirty thousand more!
I will astral project there to sniff the glue from the comfort of my home. If you catch a whiff of cinnamon on the wind, my presence is known! Perhaps someday I shall make a pilgrimage in person.
WHY DON'T I LIVE IN SWEDEN AAÀAAAAAAAAAAÀA-
Another valid reason to move to Sweden
I've never wished more to be Swedish
Next meetup should be over here in Norfolk hehe, gutted I can't go. Even for the glue
Any news on the new episode or the graphics version of norfolk 4?
Alas, beyond my reach!
Free glue??? Sign me up for the eating contest!
dID SomEOne sayFREE Gluuuuee?
that's RIGHT, carefree cum catcher!!!
Never have I wanted to go to Sweden more in my life. Unfortunately, I am unemployed and cannot afford it. Best wishes to those who can attend. Please annihilate them in their silly card game. Let there be blood.
I think its too late to get a ticket to sweden for me
I *AM* geographically closer than most people lamenting their inability to go but it might still be not the best idea to rush over to sweden for this
I mean, its not, like, the greatest event of all time here. It's a small celebration for a small shop with a small tuber haunting its halls. I wouldn't say its worth traversing the baltic for, necessarily.
My one chance to get a D plushie and I’m too American to do so. CURSES!!!!
Cant wait to hear the reports of an inlufx of brits and americans flocking to the holy land
Ill se you there!
HEEEEEEELL YEAH
Alfabusa i would visit sweden for your beautiful htp arrangement however it is quite a long flight so just know that i will be haunting hobbyshoppen in spirit just as any good htp fan would
That is ALL I can ask. HobbyShopen themselves will have to stand for the exorcism costs after the fact.
So you are saying I can travel to Gävle to meet you and destroy you with MY 20 year old yugioh deck?
ABSOLUTELY
"niche" and "local" Alfabusa says, while I worry that I will hear about the "Terrible HobbyShopen Stampede of 2026" in the news next week.
Well shoot! My Mayan calendar was off by one year so I crossed the Atlantic to go to Sweden and HobbyShopen last year!
I am recruiting my comp sci trans friend to make the great journey for me as I am locked behind the incomprehensibly vile condition known as "living in america" but I wish for the absolute best!
(*existential Floridian horror-comprehension and inability to attend*)
Dam it how the fuck am i supposed to get a flight to Sweden on such short notice
You could not pay me with a HUNDRED glue too sett foot in gävle
Yet another American L for me to take
Okej nu måste jag komma ner 👍
