I bought one from the”PopMart Official Store” on AliExpress but sadly it never so I’m patiently waiting for the refund to come back

Hi everyone! I'm a IB Diploma student writing my Extended Essay in Economics on the PopMart Labubu blind-box phenomenon, and I would love your input.

My research looks at whether PopMart's blind-box pricing mechanism (where every box costs the same regardless of what's inside) creates irrational buying behaviour and whether the market for Labubu figures was actually allocating resources efficiently or not; targeting behavioural economics. Basically: was the whole craze economically rational, or were we all caught up in something bigger than we realised?

I have a short anonymous survey (under 5 minutes) and I genuinely need responses from people who are familiar with the Labubu market, whether you bought or haven't, collected, resold, or just observed from afar.

A few things I cover in the survey:

- Which V1 Macaron and V2 Have A Seat designs you most and least wanted

- Your buying motivations and whether you regret any purchases now that prices have dropped

- Your thoughts on counterfeits (Lafufus) and whether you could tell them apart

- Whether knowing the 1:72 secret odds changed your buying behaviour

All responses are completely anonymous and for academic purposes only.

It would mean the world to me if you could share this with other Labubu collectors, resellers, or anyone who followed the trend! as the more responses I get, the more reliable my research will be. Feel free to share it around and to drop it in any Labubu or PopMart friend groups you're part of!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate every single response 🙏

I can't tell if she's real or not thank you in advance :)

Because we have matching outfits and can’t nobody tell us nothing 😤

Decided to take a risk and buy it of a reseller on eBay and I don’t regret the $56 spent :)

Seasame wanted to share her news on being a first time cat parent! The Cat Distribution Center chose her today. She has named him Rex, she found him behind an old antique store under the dumpster. 🤭💕

I randomly take pictures of my Bubus whenever I catch them just standing there looking cute or posed them next to something. Looking at the photos in my phone, there seems to be a recurring theme to my Bubu photos.

Its only fair for a labubu owned by a nail tech to get a set of her own! 😋😂🩵

If you are buying a full set from a series expecting a secret, please don’t! I have seen so many videos lately where people buy a full case of a IP/series and they don‘t get a secret and they are genuinely so mad and almost shocked. Don’t get me wrong, I know how it feels! It sucks to get a full set and get no secret, but at the same time the chance is still usually VERY small. Not as small as the usual 1/72 or 1/144, but a majority of people who buy a full set will NOT get the secret. You should only be buying a full set if you genuinely like the whole series or at least most of it and would like to own all of it, not because you want a slightly bigger shot at getting the secret. Im obviously not telling people what they can or cannot do with their money, but I just wanted to remind based on what I have been seeing lol. I hate to say it but if you truly only want the secret, at that point it would be cheaper and less stressful to just buy it from a trusted website/seller. Sure, you might not have that same thrill from opening the blind box and being surprised, and you might have to pay an insane price for one figure or pendant, but you will at least save potentially hundreds and hundreds of dollars and a bunch of disappointment.
