It's time to put into place the changes we've been talking about since October 2024, the coming together of The Retro Collective family, officially.

What does this mean? Well...not a great deal on the surface really because we'll be doing exactly what we've been doing over the last year. Working together on projects, helping each other with videos and creating even better content through sharing our skills and enthusiasm.

So, don't panic, it's business as usual but the rebranding that I'll be doing might make it seem like a bigger change than it actually is. Think of it as a refresh to help make how we work, make sense.

With that clear we can look ahead to 2025, how can we become a "real" museum, what's our big project for the year to expand our video making, repair and museum capabilities, and how can you help us to accelerate these ambitions?

If you'd like to treat yourself to the great bundle of retro goodies we've put together with the community to support the project then here's the link, every sale will go a long way in helping us: https://rmcretro.store

You'll notice I've rebranded the Patreon page, I'll update the public YouTube page etc later in the week when this video goes live publicly.

Thank you for your support, for helping us to achieve what we have so far, and from me personally, for taking the dream that started in my spare room in 2017 to this wonderful creation in 2025.
