~Rocket’s Preparing For Replay~
It has been a tough first half of the year for Rocket Replay. I have been unable to operate my pinball business to its baseline capacity since the Dawn of the New Year. There are many reasons for this, and I have taken all of these reasons to be universal signs of what I need to be doing with my skills, time and resources while I exist on this rock of a planet.
My business was formed with many ideas in mind. Rocket Replay was incorporated many months before I determined to pursue pinball repair and services. My first business card says Pinball & Retro Video Games.
Today, I have established new streams and business arches through direct and live sales of my other personal kid-like wonder driven interests. One of those passions is and always has been Pokémon. We now have a plethora of Pokémon TCG, Japanese sets and accessories listed to purchase now. Many more to come, for a long time to come.
I have slowly operated small facets of the pinball arch of the operation that I’ve been able. Repairs, Rentals and Restorations are still active services we offer. I only ask for your continued patience with replies and scheduling while I work through the remaining obstacles to full-time awesomeness again. I offer my sincere appreciation and gratitude for bearing with me and sticking by me as part of a community. This business is nothing without the people that have supported me since our first interaction, through thin and through thick. I owe it all, to you all, and no one else.
More of my thoughts will be coming. More of the business will be vocal again, both professionally and candidly. I am Derek, that will never change.
Love you, mean it!
