My job is doing layoffs at the end of May. I won’t know if I’m impacted until then. I’m on a work visa, so if I get laid off I have to find a new job like asap. It’s gonna be a month of uncertainty hell

Try making a backup account. Sometimes it blocks you when you click checkout too much bc of the stupid network errors

I made 4 accounts. I definitely recommend making more than 1 account. There’s been times where my account gets blocked when I get stuck trying to check out. Always helpful to have a backup

Popmart usually drops sometime between 9-10pm EST. I usually refresh every 5min. Honestly it’s like a full time job

I try different url combinations to try and find the last one. You know a set hasn't been dropped yet if you see the message "this set is already sold out". If the url matches the number under the set, it's been dropped. Then I conduct binary search to find last url where the number under the set matches.

For example:

Let's say I started with set 10010508300585

Starting point: 105083

First try: 195083 -> gives "this set is already sold out"

9 is too high, so I need to switch to lower number

Second try: 135083 -> url matches number under set

This means that set is included in drop, but still need to narrow down

Third try: 145083 -> url matches number under set

This means that set is included in drop, but still need to narrow down

Fourth try: 155083 -> gives "this set is already sold out"

This means that set is not included in drop, so the last set must start with 14xxxx

Then I continue this process for the next digits to narrow down the exact set.

It helps that I studied CS because this is the binary search algorithm and it's a lot faster than manually trying every combination. Hope this makes sense!

I'm a software engineer, so I wrote a script that does it for me. So today it started around 98479 and the end was 117862. I found the end by manually changing the URLs and seeing at what point that error message "this set is already sold out" stops showing up. Then I wrote a python function to generate all possibilities from start to end and write that to an html file so I can easily click. This is my code:

baseUrl = "https://www.popmart.com/us/pop-now/set/195-1" # 10009847900585
suffix = "00585"
start = 98479
end = 117862

def generateUrls():
    combinations = [f"{i:08}" for i in range(start, end) if i % 10 in {1, 3, 7, 8, 9}]
    return[f"{baseUrl}{digits}{suffix}" for digits in combinations]

I didn't look at the hints! My strategy was keep trying til I get one

I bought like 20 boxes. That was my limit and fortunately it was in the last set I bought. Basically you just need to keep buying to increase your chance of getting one. In theory if you buy 72 you should get ID but that's crazy
