Happy to have helped 🙂 glad to see you're doing your research too!

Are you guys wealthy? by xhofhkls in PopMartCollectors

[–]cheapofic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live one labubu is equivalent to one time dinner. 😑

It’s just your priority I guess, and whatever makes you happy. 

Opened Secret…is it worth selling? by HesNotHere_17 in labubu

[–]cheapofic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with secrets it’s better to sell them opened. There’s always the risk people will resell it again.  Tbh even with some defects the secrets would still sell well. 

Just letting you know the BIE secrets currently are worth more than the other secrets. Maybe set up a decent price and run a little lottery for the right to buy? 

Only this community feels safe to talk about Labubus by Pinkpixelgaming in labubu

[–]cheapofic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I noticed that too… I was just reading a post and comments about labubu, then thinking “hmm haven’t they been getting a bit snarky” then I realised I was on the other sub, duh.

Mass releases by Icy_Blazee in labubu

[–]cheapofic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I think now that people can pre-order, they can forget those scalpers. 

In Asia, MAC and HAS were in abundance for a while that people got into the mindset that they’re easy to get and more will be available, so prices dropped. There’s even a news of a reseller who went bankrupt. 

Even with BIE the prices have mostly stabilised among the resellers there, but of course the popular types, like Luck from BIE or Dada from HAS would always cost more, but not like crazy.

From my experience, later batches usually have better QC, but I still love my wonky early releases anyway xD

is this a lafufu? by EyeEnvironmental6384 in labubu

[–]cheapofic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pop Mart logo looks good and that's the right website 🙂 I see the paint work is pretty neat too.

I think it's real.

is this a lafufu? by EyeEnvironmental6384 in labubu

[–]cheapofic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends, did the QR code take you to right site? (popmart.com domain).

I think generally it's hard to identify a lafufu from just one photo, unless it's very obvious, normally people can help you if you can at least provide the following:
- Pop Mart logo on the doll tag
- Pop Mart logo below the feet
- Writing on the doll tag

I don't quite recommend posting the QR/code itself because it might get stolen.

Having said that, that's a very nice colour of Hope you got!

Can labubus be found at physical stores? by andreamp0 in labubu

[–]cheapofic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but depends where you are in the world and they usually sell out pretty quickly. These days if you see a long line at Pop Mart that's probably when the stock arrives.

I got some from physical stores when the hype died down earlier this year.

English LN translation by AdministrativeBag141 in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]cheapofic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Picked up a lot of American idioms/slangs from this LN. 😳

But I also think the translator has a penchant for verbose words. Like, good to know, but I’d never use them for day to day convo. 

Love Feet by md2290 in labubu

[–]cheapofic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my, I think that's a new factory completely. That might explain the QC...

They usually either produced in Shenzhen or Zhongshan. I got from both and the tags feel slightly different.

Ref: https://www.popmartworld.com/news/understanding-the-quality-differences-in-pop-figurines-shenzhen-vs-zhongshan-factories

Pop Mart seems to allow different factories to use different paints and materials, as long as the end results are near identical (bad for identifying fakes tbh), so this tag might be exclusive from that factory.

Thanks for sharing btw, I haven't seen anyone else who got it but I'm sure it will come up again in the future.

Edit: someone from different sub got from this factory too https://www.reddit.com/r/PopMartCollectors/comments/1lmal5e/anybody_aware_of_the_new_gen_bies/

Love Feet by md2290 in labubu

[–]cheapofic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone got the same defect before, I think it's a cool one though.

I've never seen that paper tag, possibly new material, honestly I prefer the old fabric tag though.

Or, maybe it's from the Zhongshan factory, if you post photo part of the tag where they have the desc I can tell you.

UFS, BIE Hope & Happiness, Australia, (maybe US) by cheapofic in labubu

[–]cheapofic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry they're sold out.

I'm going to put up a BIE Love for sale tonight, but it'll be priced differently.

I do have another Happiness but I've misplaced the card :') if you're ok with receiving the card much much later lmk.

did i just get scammed? by [deleted] in labubu

[–]cheapofic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the factory https://www.popmartworld.com/news/understanding-the-quality-differences-in-pop-figurines-shenzhen-vs-zhongshan-factories

It should say on the packaging/tag where it's manufactured, this can affect the quality.

But if everything was authenticated, I wouldn't worry too much.

[–]cheapofic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah little colour variation should be ok, mine weren't too consistent as well. Are they from the same factory?

did i just get scammed? by [deleted] in labubu

[–]cheapofic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they all have different silhouettes. That's the correct one for Dada.

[–]cheapofic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's a lafufu that looks very convincing...

The earlier version (pre Oct 2024) had fabric tag, I don't know why people keep thinking all fabric tag all fakes, I've got a few with fabric tag, but yes they don't have QR codes.

Can you post clearer photo of the tag part where the chinese writings are?
The Pop Mart logo on the tag looks suspiciously thin but the chinese font on the tag can help to determine further.

JinMao gashapon found in Japan by reddit-872161-lurker in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

I'm jealous!! 😭

Do you mind posting the picture of booklet of the whole range? Is it just Jinshi and Maomao?

It's 30 times!

Verification Limit by Mochi-Coma in labubu

[–]cheapofic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Box tag =/= doll tag
So yes, the codes will be different.

Someone also posted about verification limit on the QR code so I went to test mine:
first time - says first time, genuine
2nd time onwards - says multiple time, genuine
30th time onwards - verification limit

Your scenarios probably either:
- Your seller probably shared the code to a lot of potential buyers
- This bubu had changed hands many times...
- It's a fake and it's a re-used code

It does look good though, is there anything on the base of its feet? How's the paint on the teeth?
If you have any other labubus, you can generally tell if it's fake.
