Ha ha, yeah, I remember first introducing myself and it had been mentioned. I actually did for a short period here recently work for them but as a seasonal to help out a friend. My friend actually manages a Gamestop and has been for quite a while. Of course during my period of collecting any variant edition during the 7th generation, I got to know the guys that worked at this particular store. So, long story short, the place was up for a remodel and corporate decided they didn't want their stores having the Gamestop logo behind their cash wrap. Why, you ask? From what I gathered is it was great real estate to advertise upcoming games and they felt like it was wasting space. Anyway, me, being one of the most valuable customers at this store and being good friends with the crew, got offered if I wanted to take this home. I couldn't decline as I knew not that many people had one of these. I've always wanted one of those 'World of Nintendo' or 'Playstation' signs but I figured since I bought over 90% of my games from Gamestop, I could just lump them all under the sign as it was more encompassing rather than segregating with the individual brands. Seemed like a win-win. Every now and again, as you can see from some of my updates, I would also receive some of the promotional items the manager didn't want or knew I cared about certain IPs.
I hope that answers your question, lol.
