Finding it
The Fan Stand – Vending Machine is in 2nd Level - Departures - D-55 in North Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.

Hours against the security queue
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
At Gate D-55 in North Terminal, this Fan Stand machine sells trading cards and collectibles around the clock, with no attendant needed at any hour. MIA's other Fan Stand, in Central Terminal, posts its own hours as 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., which amounts to the same all-day availability written a different way. Because it's a vending machine rather than a staffed counter, it works for a red-eye arrival at D-55 when the nearby Lilly's Munchies and Peet's Coffee counters may not yet be staffed for the day.
Other options in North Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
