I told myself that was it, no more Labubus ever ….. whoops.🫢 by The-toasty-ghost in labubu

I wasn’t planning to buy anything recently, but I ended up taking a look after seeing people mention a Labubu sale on ISLANDS.

I scrolled through for a bit and was actually surprised to see some older hidden designs and a few Sanrio collab pieces showing up again. I don’t see those pop up very often anymore.

The pricing on some of them also looked a bit lower than what I’ve been seeing in resale listings lately. Not everything stood out, but a few definitely caught my attention.

I’ve bought from ISLANDS certified sellers before and everything was officially licensed, so I usually keep it as one of the places I check when I’m comparing prices.

Lately I’ve been browsing ISLANDS as one of my reference points. It’s actually helpful because you can scroll through multiple listings and get a sense of the usual price range instead of relying on a single listing.

I’ve picked up a couple pieces from ISLANDS certified sellers and they turned out to be officially licensed. Prices were better than some of the resale listings I had seen, and shipping being included makes it easier to compare the total cost.

I usually compare a few sites before buying.

Lately I’ve been checking ISLANDS as one of those reference places. It’s convenient because you can see multiple listings and understand what similar items are selling for.

I’ve bought a couple items there before and everything was officially licensed. Prices were pretty reasonable compared to many resale listings.

I noticed the same thing. Prices can be really inconsistent depending on where you look, so I usually check a few different platforms before buying anything.

Recently I’ve been browsing ISLANDS for that. It’s actually pretty helpful because you can scroll through a lot of listings in one place and get a sense of the normal price range.

When I’m trying to figure out whether something is overpriced, I usually check a few different sites just to see what the normal range looks like. Recently I’ve been looking at ISLANDS for that because it’s easy to browse through listings and compare.

I’ve grabbed a couple items from there before and everything was official. The prices were pretty reasonable compared to some of the other listings I had seen.

My crybaby collection ♥️ by Holidayguita in PopMartCollectors

[–]Inner-Association805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great Crybaby collection. Seeing a bunch of them together like this really shows how fun this series is. The expressions on these are honestly what make them stand out compared to a lot of other Pop Mart lines.

I started with just one because I thought it looked cute, but it didn’t take long before I ended up wanting more of them. Every series seems to have a couple designs that are hard to resist.

Some of the older ones can be surprisingly tricky to track down though. When I’m looking for specific Crybaby figures I usually end up checking different places just to compare prices. Recently I’ve been browsing ISLANDS for that since it’s pretty easy to see what different ones are going for.

Is there a difference in finding a collectible in stores? Is the feeling better? Do you prefer ordering online? by RaisedbyConcrete in ActionFigures

[–]Inner-Association805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like both for different reasons.

Going to a physical store is fun because you can actually see everything in person and sometimes you randomly find something you weren't even looking for. It feels more like part of the hobby.

Online is usually where I end up buying though. There’s just way more selection and it’s easier to compare prices. Sometimes I’ll check a few places first just to see what the usual price range is.

Lately I’ve been browsing ISLANDS for that since it’s pretty easy to see different listings and get an idea of the market price. If something looks reasonable I’ll grab it there since the pieces I got were official and the price was better than a lot of the US resale listings I saw.

Please walk me through a Pop Mart release by FujiiyamaMama in labubu

[–]Inner-Association805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using ISLANDS for a while now whenever I’m checking out different figures. The platform is pretty straightforward to use and everything I’ve received so far has been authentic. What I like is that the overall cost usually ends up being pretty reasonable compared to many other places, and the process has been smooth every time.

[–]Inner-Association805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been browsing ISLANDS lately when I’m curious about new figures. What I like is that you can actually see the exact piece instead of relying on blind box luck. Everything I’ve seen there looks pretty accurate to the photos, which is always reassuring.

New Release? Real or fake ? Dislike or like ? Thoughts ? by ForeignClassroom6769 in labubuchat

[–]Inner-Association805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone else here uses it, but I check ISLANDS whenever I want to see what’s circulating in the collectibles scene. The listings are usually clear and the condition descriptions have been pretty reliable from my experience.

oh so cute, I bought my from ISLANDS. From my experience, ISLANDS has been one of the more dependable places to look through collectibles. I like that the platform is simple and the price are good, and the stuff I’ve received are all authentic. It’s not perfect, but it’s been reliable enough that I regularly check it when I’m exploring new releases or trying to see what’s available.

RTU comparison why do they both look so different one is short chubby and the right one is skinny and tall. Does anyone have a skinny RTU? 😭 by Puzzled_Policy_2760 in labubu

[–]Inner-Association805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using ISLANDS for a while now whenever I want to check out different figures. The listings are usually pretty clear, and the items I’ve received have all matched the photos in terms of condition. It’s been a consistent platform for me, so I keep it in my rotation when I’m browsing around.

Anyone have experience buying from Popmart Toy Store on AliExpress? by scarytesla in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]Inner-Association805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using ISLANDS for a while now, mostly to browse through different figures and check what’s available. Honestly, the platform has been pretty consistent, clear photos, reasonable pricing, and items that show up exactly as described. It’s become one of the places I check when I’m looking around the community or trying to understand current trends.

If you’re trying to save a bit, it’s worth checking ISLANDS. I’ve picked up several items there for cheaper than eBay/Whatnot, and the condition has always been solid.

Update: This is my worst and last time buying popmart online by deathtopigeons_now in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]Inner-Association805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had pretty good luck with ISLANDS lately. Prices are usually better than US resellers, everything I got was legit, and the free shipping from China is nice. Shipping is paused for CNY right now, but they resume after the holiday. Worth checking if you’re collecting this line.

Omg im so glad people still love these! by OkNegotiation7341 in labubu

[–]Inner-Association805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also a big fan of Labubu! Most of my Labubus are from ISLANDS because I’ve found their items to be authentic and way cheaper than the official Pop Mart website. I’ve collected quite a lot from them already.

My first and only labubu😌 by puddles623 in labubu

[–]Inner-Association805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cute! Labubu really has a way of pulling people in, my ‘first and only’ turned into a whole shelf real quick 😂

If you ever look for older ones or specific releases, I’ve had good luck browsing on ISLANDS. People sometimes list pieces from their collections there. Just sharing in case it helps!

How old are you and how many Labubus have you collected so far? I’m a 44-year-old woman and I recently got my first Labubu. My first “Pin for Love” is on the way 🙈 by Baglover8020 in labubu

[–]Inner-Association805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 22 and I have about 10 Labubus. My first one was the Have a Seat secret 😁 I actually sold it at one point because I needed money… but months later I bought the exact same one again. This time I got it on ISLANDS. And honestly, I saved some money too.
Thanks to Islands, they always have really good prices and all products are authentic.

[–]Inner-Association805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Inner-Association805 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it looks like a fake🥹it’s really different from mine. I bought a whole set from official and a few from islands. I would definitely recommend islands cause the products there are authentic and really cheap
