If you’re passionate about pop culture, collectibles, or the thrill of finding something rare and unexpected, there’s a new event headed to Orlando that belongs on your radar. The team behind Collectors World Con is launching an all-new experience called Collectors World Outpost, and it’s set to take place on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center.
Unlike the hustle of a massive convention, Collectors World Outpost is designed as a more personal, immersive marketplace. Themed as Iggy’s Outpost, the event transforms the venue into a jungle-inspired trading hub where collectors and fans can connect, explore, and uncover unique finds. It’s all about the joy of collecting—whether you’re hunting for that missing piece or just browsing for fun.
The event welcomes everyone from seasoned collectors to curious newcomers. With rows of vendor booths and artist tables, you’ll find a diverse mix of trading cards, vintage toys, action figures, Funko Pops, artwork, and all kinds of pop culture memorabilia. It’s a curated treasure hunt in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
One of the best parts of a marketplace like this is the sense of discovery. Maybe you’ll come across a rare comic from your childhood, a custom-made collectible you’ve never seen before, or a quirky figure that speaks to your inner fan. The Outpost is built for those “I didn’t even know I wanted this” moments.
Alongside the shopping and trading, Collectors World Outpost is packed with fun extras. Throughout the day, lucky attendees will be randomly selected to take part in free Pokémon pack battles in front of a live crowd. There will also be pop culture trivia contests offering prizes and bragging rights, plus a dedicated community room where you can take a break, swap stories, trade with others, or just enjoy the atmosphere.
Tickets are on sale now at collectorsworldcon.com, and they’ll also be available at the door. The website includes details on confirmed vendors, hotel accommodations, and the full schedule of activities.
If you’re in the Orlando area—or looking for a reason to plan a weekend getaway—Collectors World Outpost offers a fun, low-key way to celebrate the things you love. Come for the collectibles, stay for the community, and leave with a few surprises in your bag.
