One Stop Sales in La Puente said four men broke into the store and stole "all of our inventory," including an unknown number of Labubus.

    They better offload those quick. They’ll be worthless as soon as the next consumerist fad comes along.

        Fools are easily parted with their money.

        I went to SDCC a week or two ago, and my cousin who apparently was saying they were dumb and useless before then suddenly wanted one, so she bought like two. One of them for $60. I mean, I also spent a lot of money on useless crap…

          My wife loves them, but luckily (kinda) she loves the fucked up knockoffs more, so I surprise her with a $10 piece of garbage every so often.

    …WHY? I feel like there are far more products you could nab that are easier to offload and you don’t have to worry about a fad dying. Wait quick buck coasts them nothing, need to stop applying business logic to petty criminals and corporations.

    Not that I can’t understand why people are obessed with such thing, but aren’t these Labubu dolls really, really ugly? I wouldn’t want them if I win them at a carnival.
