Balma. Geek stock market: pop culture invades the Odyssey

Notice to collectors, nostalgic for the 8-bit era and passionate about imaginary worlds! The Midi-Pyrénées Pokémon club announces the return of its flagship event: the 6th edition of its geek garage sale. On Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3, the heart of Balma will be transformed into the epicenter of regional pop culture.

Like a giant exchange

Much more than a simple garage sale, this meeting is like a giant exchange where everyday objects give way to icons of modernity. Here, no old tools or dishes, but an inventory of everything that makes fans tick: retro and Next-Gen video games, mangas, comics, collectible figurines, DVDs, Blu-rays and board games.

The event gives pride of place to the diversity of this universe. The aisles will be overflowing with merchandise, posters, computer equipment and artisanal creations inspired by the greatest licenses in cinema and animation. Cosplay enthusiasts and card game duelists will also find what they are looking for, all in a friendly atmosphere.

Deployed in the Odyssey room and on its square, this edition promises total immersion, whether you are a “hardcore gamer”, an avid comic book reader or simply curious, Balma will become the rallying point for all generations of enthusiasts.
