Two buildings packed with dealers, creators, and collectors. Here's what fills the tables.
Toys & collectibles
Vintage grails and modern releases — Star Wars, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Ninja Turtles, and the deep cuts you only find in person.
Cards, comics & games
Pokémon and TCG binders, sports cards, long boxes of comics, retro video games, and dealers happy to talk grading and condition.
Anime, dolls & plush
Anime figures and merch, Monster High and Barbie, Care Bears, bins of plush, and the soft-spot nostalgia you forgot existed.
Artists, makers & photo ops
Independent artists, custom figure makers, original prints, and fan groups on the floor with props and characters worth a photo.
Pro tips for attendees
- Arrive early: The best finds go fast. Early Buyer entry is 8:00 AM, two full hours before General Admission.
- Bring cash: Cards are accepted, but some vendors move faster — and haggle better — with cash.
- Make a wish list: Know what you're hunting for, then leave room for surprises.
- Wear comfortable shoes: You're walking two buildings all day.
- Bring a bag: Pack light, leave with treasures.
- Hit both buildings: Exhibition Hall and the 4-H Building are both full of dealers. Don't stop at one.
- Take a break: Grab a drink, stay hydrated, then go back in for a second lap.
