Fun fact. The Labubu faze is already dead.

Each box contains one pack of four base cards and one parallel plus keychain to show them off.

As stupid as this release seems, my 4th graders would love these cards. If anyone wants to get rid of their base, I'll gladly take them!

[PumpnDumpling]

Yeah but Card People are generally late to the party so appropriate timing

[AnthonyCorona]

This but no heritage minor league?!

[bamafan3559]

I'd rather have a K-Pop Demon Hunters hobby release if we're jumping on cultural trends.

[PoPCulture]

Never heard of her

[cmixer]

Beanie Babies chrome.
I want the Princess Diana Bear superfractor.

[CicadaMound]

Hate Chrome, don't care about the property, won't be able to get any of it anyway... but it's a good idea and they should license more properties like this.

Unfortunately it's a symptom of the high-endification that this is a weird chrome release only available to rich jerks instead of/alongside of a more democratic cheap base/sticker release that normal kids can actually rip in volume.

[patchgenie]

basquiat parallel's!

[kyle1707]

Boxes will probably be 1000 dollars

And someone will probably pay 10 k for a super

if they release retail blasters those might go pretty crazy

[smanzari]

Will these also work with "The Ritual" or is that just the dolls? Asking for a friend

Remember Troll dolls?

[fabiani12333]

Pop Mart turned Labubu dolls into gambling products by selling them in blind boxes. That market has already crashed. Now Topps wants to print images of Labubu's on trading cards and also sell them in blind boxes.

[glassofwater]

that topps keychain is super cool

[Brobocop]

Reminds me of Topps putting out MetaZoo cards, right when MetaZoo was about to go out of business.

[memyselfandi23]

maybe veefriends will buy them and save the franchise.. :)

[Boo]

Fun fact. The Labubu faze is already dead.

Fun fact, I had no idea there was a Labubu faze.

Reminds me of Topps putting out MetaZoo cards, right when MetaZoo was about to go out of business.

Yeah, similar indeed. I may have a box of those still somewhere.

maybe veefriends will buy them and save the franchise.. :)

Please, no.

Fun fact, I had no idea there was a Labubu faze.

There sure was. Popmart ramped up production, opened new stores, only to see people not want them anymore. Then Uncle Pedo Rubin steps in lol.

I'm confused, the site is completely out of stock and everyone around me says they're impossible to get. So if you have a link for authentic dolls lmk

At our state fair in August the hot thing was lafufu dolls which are blatant knockoffs

[Americards]

10th Anniversary?
I only heard about Labubu a few months ago.
Thought it was a brand new thing..

[eastbayak]

Reminds me of Topps putting out MetaZoo cards, right when MetaZoo was about to go out of business.

MetaZoo paid for a lot of overnight trips (and more), loved it (and Game Kastles).

just ordered 5 from topps UK + 1 from Tmall, thinking these will be an easy flip in Asia.

they dropped a ton in Japan last night and even more in UK/EU. This has to be a 300k box print run. But at $50 a box, I guess it's ok?

[Bob Ross]

FYI - 2 month free loan for Fanatics. Dec 18 release date.

Good times!

yup, if the refractor is unnumbered and counts as the "hit" then print run be damned.

[peterose4hof]

Looks like they're still available on the UK site.
Must have printed a lot of these.

i've used them for UK and Japan with no issues.

[anusinha]

50 a box….. might as well go in

[pharmd19]

Instant sell out? I had 4 in my cart and processing through PayPal then got kicked back to the site out of stock.

[FatButcher]

Good old Topps, cases were "sold out" from 12:00:01. But $50/box, can't go too wrong.

[xkj1985x]

Still shows available on my end.

[Seatown206]

cases were sold out instantly... good times

$50 a box, bought my 10.

[FatButcher]

Seems like they are doing the in/out of stock on the single boxes. Still lets you add to cart, but max available dropped from 10 to 5 while in my cart.

[Bob Ross]

Appears like a good price (we'll see) so I bought. YOLO.

Enjoy the two month free loan, Fanatics!!

[bub838]

I bought 10, then I canceled my order.
I just can't do it.
Good luck to everyone else.

[Seatown206]

Everything is sold out now. good times

[yoyosh]

I just can't do it.
Good luck to everyone else.

I did the exact same thing. Good luck, fellas

[pharmd19]

Glad other people are having success but it won't let me check out. I figured buying a few was low risk but I don't care enough about the product to keep trying to buy with no success. I hope everyone does well with it.

[Tonic3]

Only 1 parallel per box for $50. Have there been odds posted for this stuff yet, I don't see it anywhere? That seems like a lot for essentially one card......of Labubu

[glassofwater]

How where cases sold out it never showed up

[Bob Ross]

I'm not cancelling. I'm going down with the ship, 6 feet deeper than I already am.

[anusinha]

yeah cases were dumb, they werent ever available

[kingomi]

How was a single box $50 but the case of 20 was $600?! That makes no sense. Thats a $400 discount for cases? Topps has NEVER offered that big of a discount for buying a case... Ive seen them drop products with cases having ZERO discount. The most ive seen is like a 10% discount. But 40% is INSANE....

Mistake. They'll catch it and cancel if it is indeed 20 boxes. They don't let mistakes like this slip. They did this for an F1 product a year or two back that I checked out. Cancelled everything and relisted at the correct price.

Lets not forget, however, that their employees are the opposite of elite talent. So these may be 12 box cases and not 20 as stated.

[glassofwater]

People are saying only 98 cases loaded no one had a chance

[anusinha]

98 cases is a lot, i was refreshing constantly and hobby went in stock while cases never popped up

[esoxwaters]

Is this one of the greatest pump-and-dumps of all time or is this stuff going to the moon?

Lots of presale boxes sold on eBay in the last hour....

I wouldn't say its already crashed. Every kid at my girl's school it seems has those weird looking toys hanging from their backpacks.

[Bob Ross]

Restocked.

[AllMyCardsSuck]

Restocked.

Coincidentally just checked the Topps website and say that they were still available! Grabbed 5. I'll see if my girlfriend is still into them when the boxes arrive for Christmas lol

EDIT: Wow, and the restock didn't last long at all!

[FatButcher]

Interesting how fast these are selling on Ebay for $120-130, demand does seem to be there.

It is interesting that preorders are suppose to be 40 days out of ship. I guess Ebay does not track that much.

[FatButcher]

'Tis a powerful thing...

[boxbuster7]

why even sell a $50 box for $120? What are you making $30 after shipping and work? not worth it.

[eastbayak]

What work? Taking a minute to list it on eBay, and upon receipt (from Topps), re-taping the package and dropping it off on your next visit to USPS/UPS/FedEx?

Most people, including BO members, work a lot harder/longer for less.

[TimBuckTwo]

Hustle harder.

The novelty.

No one is going to care about trading cards of stupid demonic-looking dolls in a few years, but the novelty and uncertainty of the first release can drive sales.

[boxbuster7]

to be fair I only heard about these 6 months or so ago. They may have been around for 10 years but only recently became mainstream.

[cypher]

Fanatics perfected the scam distribution model. Offer under %10 to the public. Sneaker flippers and breakers swoop it all up. The big 3 pack %40 into their warehouses. Breakers take the last %50 and let the flippers do their magic pumping the secondary market.

TY was around for almost ten years too before Beanie Babies became huge. We all know how that played out and how quickly the fad fizzled.

[cruiserdaddy7]

Say you make $45 a box and sell all 10 to the same buyer. Slap a new label on the parcel Topps shipped to you. I mean thats about 3-5 minutes of work for $450 profit. Who wouldn't take that?

[prospectorgems]

Yes, this makes more sense than to sell for a $5 profit like I have seen others do on other products. I always wondered if people just don't understand how ebay fees are calculated or just trying to get money back so they can pay off their CC debt.

Controlling price is key for fanatics

Only having a handful of places that can sell any real quanity

2-5x ing the price of everything.. people have no choice if they want it

Would be like if target amazon walmart were the only places that sold bread and milk .. then they raised the price of bread to 20 dollars

[jdandns]

Two good rules of thumb are to buy only cards (or anything else) you wouldn't mind getting stuck with, and only at a price you're comfortable paying should you not be able to get anything back reselling the product.

The popularity of Labubu is driven largely by gimmicks and hype -- there is a lot of volatility in its market.

[sauceboy]

People will surely overpay for these. They'll be worth next to nothing in six months to a year after release date.

I just hate selling sealed wax for 2 reasons - 1. I sold a huge hit 2. More this one but buyer opens boxes doesn't get anything good then files a claim.

Just not worth a few bucks to me.

I've never had a buyer do that before. People do that?

[FatButcher]

I don't sell much wax, but never had that happen to me either. I guess its possible, just nothing I've run across.

[prospectorgems]

I think it used to be a thing where people would try to scam you on ebay by buying sealed product and trying to return it but I haven't had any issues like that ever.

[Chris P]

I've never had a buyer do that before. People do that?

It's never happened to me but it is something I worry about

[PoPCulture]

I've never had a buyer do that before. People do that?

This is something that I worried about a lot in the past but now I rest easy knowing that the person buying my box(es) aren’t buying to open it for themselves. Online breakers couldn’t care less if anything good comes out because they make all their money up front. I haven’t really worried much about selling boxes over the past couple of years.

[eastbayak]

Never had that happen to me. I’ve had people attempt to “abuse” the system in their favor over the years though. Many stopped after I shared eBay’a definition of card condition (for those buying raws and only wanting gem mint cards) or if I said I’d be happy to call them at their home/work number (and send them a screenshot of their name/mailing address/phone number) to discuss the (bs) issue.

If it’s a genuine issue/mistake on my end though, I always own up to it. But if someone tries to game the system and screw me over, I fire with fire.

These days, probably less of that going on (opening a box and returning it) via eBay due to our cancel culture.

[boxbuster7]

cancel culture

lol

[Bruin7]

She do these ship/release? DA showing 12/18.

[premium1981]

I've never had a buyer do that before. People do that?

No, it’s not a thing. At least not common. I’ve never had it happen and I’ve sold a large amount of wax.

[premium1981]

My family took 4 very good vacations this year completely from points and miles. If I gave a number for how much money I made from reward cards people wouldn’t believe me. If you are responsible everything you buy should be put on a rewards card. I have not used a debit card in over 20 years other than for the atm.

[StlBen]

People aren't returning boxes after they open them and any decent site (ebay) will protect you against that.

Absolutely. Fraud/chargeback protection on a CC over a Debit is crazy, too. Banks don't care when it's your money.

how much percent do you get back? I use citi double cash and could probably do better than 2% but they also have merchant discounts which are nice.

Heard Amex platinum is a good one but I'm lazy

I have a good variety, including the Amex Platinum. I'm what you would call a "point/travel hacker" so I use different ones for different things. A few that have helped the most with our travel:

1) Amex Platinum - I could buy a house with what they let me spend on this thing, so just having the spend ability is huge. But when you spend over $5k you get x2 points per dollar. Best use IMO is transfer to Hilton when they have their bonus. You can transfer 1,000 points and get 2,500 Hilton points during these promotions. We use them in Maui for the Grand Waliea Waldorf Astoria property. I would rank it as one of the best family resorts in the world. And their redemption rates are rock solid.

2) Amex Delta - My wife and I have both achieved Diamond status with Delta with the spend on this card. Free upgrades to Delta One lay flat beds going to Europe is truly incredible. Those seats can cost $10k or more and we have gotten them for free after buying Main Cabin seats.

3) Chase - You have to have the right version, but Chase to Hyatt hotels in also incredible. Some of the nicest resorts around the world are Hyatt properties and we like these for our couples trip each year.

I could go on and on because I love the topic so much, but to repeat, anyone who uses a debit card is throwing away free money. I realize most people cannot put the spend on their cards that I do each month, but even a 2% cashback card can net you a couple nice steaks at Outback every month. :)!

Thanks for the info but my steaks I cook are better than outback :eek:

[premium1981]

Then go to Red Lobster and get a free lobster tail.:)!

I'm a sucker for a steak. I'll eat them at home, at Outback, on a cruise ship, or anywhere else that is offering them up. We even planned a weekend trip about 2 years ago based around a steak.:D We flew to Houston so I could eat at the Taste of Texas a second time after finding it the year before. SOOOO good, and I got to watch a ballgame that same weekend. Nothing better than a good steak and some baseball.

[YayNJ]

Amex is dangerous :D

When I was given basically 'no credit limit' (ie spend what you want) by them I had to start treating the card like a loaded weapon.

Enjoy the extended free loans, Fanatics! You're doing a wonderful job!

The creator of Beanie Babies is worth $7.3 billion. Ty still makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year selling bean bag plush to this day. The Beanie Babies line just evolved into other Ty products like Beanie Boos, Beanie Bellies, etc.

And?

My point was that these fads come and go. Are beanie baby's selling for big money or selling them in blind boxes to encourage gambling? If Topps put out a Beanie Baby trading card set today, would it be selling for hundreds of dollars per box?

I never said Ty went bankrupt, just that the popularity of Beanie Baby's was here today, gone today basically. Pop Mart may go the route of Ty and continue on with other products, but I don't think the popularity of Labubu is going to be something that goes on to be a years long thing.

5 pages in and I still don't know what Labubu is. Guess I'm too old.

5 pages in and I still don't know what Labubu is. Guess I'm too old.

It's a monster character that originated in a series of picture books by Chinese artist Kasing Lung. The book series is reminiscent of the Where the Wild Things Are storybook. There's not much more to it -- the dolls became a fad for a few months. They were promoted by female influencers and celebrities and became a fashion accessory for young women. They were also promoted as a gambling product due to being packaged in so-called blind boxes and the inclusion of high-value limited-edition variations.

Boxes are selling on eBay around $90. Not great. Not sure what I'll do with my 10

Just dont know how these cards are going to sell

[Bruin7]

Mine has been picked up with an estimated delivery date of Thursday. At least they used FedEx home delivery instead of smartpost. Says 8.8 pounds for two boxes. Chrome must be heavy these days.

Strange I noticed the crazy weight as well via FedEx. 4 boxes was over 16 pounds. It’s 1 pack per box lol.

The hobby is a male-dominated space. Why would trading cards that feature a character exclusively marketed to women have appeal to men?

[bub838]

Glad I canceled my preorder.

[shu4040]

Got mine. The weight is real. It’s super nice and heavy boxes. Kinda wild for what’s in there but they went all in on the packaging.

Curious to see what the cards look like today. I have not seen singles on Ebay yet. Maybe the cards are made of Rocks. 4 pounds a box?

I watched two different breaks on youtube and I swear that each person pulled the exact same cards.

[jjcan]

The packaging looks really nice. The keyring and card holder is Different..

The 2 videos I saw, I guess the cards look fine better than the Disney, Marvel designs.

Better than Topps Chrome update Jumbo i guess.

Yeah… I can’t see opening this. What are people going to do with multiple generic key chains if they open more than one box?

Box art is A+ though!

[Chrominator]

:cry:

Wait... how much are they charging for this??

Looks exactly like the previous break except for the keychain being green instead of black.

50 big ones, basically nothing in this hobby

[Chrominator]

Oh, okay. I guess that's on par for something like this. (i.e Mega Box)

[71sbeetle]

Topps website does say:

"5 Chrome® Cards Per Pack! 1 Pack Per Box.

(1) Chrome Parallel
(4) Chrome Base Card Complete Set
(1) Topps X Labubu Keychain & Magnetic Case Holder
Look for Artist Autographs!"

Note the (4) Chrome Base Card Complete Set

This means there's only 4 cards to the whole set. And the 5th card could be any parallel from these:

"Refractor

10th Anniversary Border

Artist Facsimile

Speckle Refractor /499

Purple /299

Blue /150

Green /99

Gold /50r

Orange /25

Black /10

Red /5

Superfractor /1"


Ouch Topps ..... ouch!

[Bruin7]

Definitely a strange release. These belong at the Pop Mart locations exclusively to the casual shopper. Not a fun rip whatsoever.

Kids and young adults have the attention span of a goldfish these days. There is such a small window to cash in on a viral trend. Before that virus is dead.

skibidi toilet movie was announced when all that nonsense blew up. Its been over a year and a half since then, and not even a script yet. Thats dead in the water already.

As for the knockoffs selling out. Blame stupid relatives Christmas shopping. I know my two preteen daughters had Labubu on their X-Mas lists. And I also know that my extended family, all 35+ years of age, don't know what these are. And went out and bought "Lafufu" thinking its all one in the same.

Blame ignorance and the holidays for knockoffs selling out.

Yup. I give Topps credit, the mag and keychain holder were great ideas. Labubu is meant to clip to your backpack so other kids know you have one. Bringing that idea into the card pack was smart.

A Labubu doll blind box is about $35ish retail. These should be the same price as that I'd think. $50 is not a stretch either. Asking $100+, to the most likely buyers for Labubu might be a reach.

Good for Topps that most box buyers are just addicts. As the value is in the fun of opening these, like the dolls. And not is the actual contents.

I can def see these being at the local bodega/gas station.

[glassofwater]

what is the print run? only 4 supers then.

im opening one for the keychain i love the ridiculousness of this colab. now i hope i can sell the rest

I think without odds no one will ever know. There could be 20,000 on the non numbered cards each.

I think they have found their target audience, welcome to the wonderful world of Fanatics and Topps Ma'am.

[glorbgorb]

A 5:27 video for what amounts to 10 actual seconds of content, dumfounded by what was pulled. Cool...

At least he^ got 4 different color silicone things

[finfangfan]

I feel like some breakers are falling into the trap of buying everything that Topps releases and not really taking the time to vet out some stuff that is clearly meant for the Hot Topic crowd… not grown men.

Well said :)!

[fabiani12333]

It's wild that there are only four different cards. There must be a licensing issue preventing Topps from printing other artwork. The artwork they used look like original sketches from before the character was published.

This gotta be a record bounty retraction XD wondered why I couldn’t find the thread BO made yesterday about it

[Brobocop]

Imagine offering $100k for a card without checking if said card even exists.

He's the inventor of the rip card, so he has real hobby credentials. It's still silly but isn't super corrupt. If it was corruption he'd've read the checklist :)

Interesting, thx for sharing.

I guess we should give him a mulligan then.

[csmtampa]

He was also the Rip Master and has certified Topps autographs from 2008 lol

[ThatGuyPal]

Bar is low if creating the rip card makes you have real hobby credentials lol
