The Mini Pokemon Market lands at the Filipino Community Center in Waipahu on Sunday, September 27, 2026. Organized by Rocket Relics, the same west-side crew behind the West Side Card Show at the Kroc Center and the Card District series, this is a compact, Pokemon-first market built for collectors in Central and West Oahu who want a show closer to home than the Honolulu venues.
Despite the word mini in the name, the format is a full vendor market. Tables are packed with Pokemon singles from every era, from current Scarlet & Violet chase cards and illustration rares to vintage Base Set, Jungle, and Fossil holos. Japanese product is a highlight of every Rocket Relics event, so expect Japanese booster boxes, promos, and exclusives that are hard to find on the mainland. Graded slabs from PSA, CGC, and BGS are plentiful, and sealed collectors will find ETBs, tins, and booster bundles at competitive island pricing. A handful of vendors typically round out the floor with One Piece, Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and a few sports card binders, plus plush, figures, and Pokemon-themed accessories that keiki love.
The organizer has not yet posted final hours or admission for this date. Prior Rocket Relics markets have run midday, roughly late morning to mid-afternoon, with free or low-cost admission, so plan around that and confirm on Instagram the week of the event.
The FilCom Center is at 94-428 Mokuola Street in Waipahu, right off Farrington Highway and about 25 minutes from downtown Honolulu via the H-1. The center has a free on-site parking lot and additional street parking nearby. The venue is indoors and air conditioned, and Waipahu's Filipino food scene is one of the best on the island, so plan to eat before or after the market.
This event is ideal for families with young Pokemon fans, for West Oahu collectors who skip the drive into town, and for set builders who want to knock out reverse holos and bulk rares at fair prices. Serious collectors chasing Japanese exclusives should make the trip; Rocket Relics vendors consistently bring import product that does not show up at the sports-heavy shows.
A few tips: arrive at opening for the best selection of Japanese product, bring cash in small bills, carry your want list and a trade binder sorted by set, and pack sleeves and top loaders for pickups. If you are planning to vend at a future Rocket Relics show, this is a good place to meet the organizers in person.
For confirmed hours, admission, and vendor lists, follow @rocket_relics and @hawaiicardshows on Instagram or check the event listing at hawaiicardshows.com. Note that the Pokemon, Sports Cards & More show at the Ala Moana Hotel runs the same day, so ambitious collectors can hit both with a short drive between Waipahu and Ala Moana.
