Oh my goodness, the upcoming Labubu drop on Saturday, May 17 @ 2 PM has me absolutely buzzing! As a fellow collector, there's nothing quite like the thrill of a new Pop Mart release, especially when it's our beloved Labubu. I've been following Pickaparty for a while now, and they always host the best events. This time, with new series like Big Into Energy, Have a Seat, and Macaron figures, I'm already planning my strategy! For those new to the Labubu world, these little monsters are more than just toys; they're tiny bundles of personality. I remember my first Labubu, a cheeky little guy with a mischievous grin. It instantly brought a smile to my face, and that's the magic of them – they just make you feel happy, almost like they're laughing along with you. That's why I'm always on the lookout for those playful expressions! The OCR mentioned some incredible series dropping, and I'm particularly excited about "Big Into Energy" – the vibrant designs always catch my eye. And "Have a Seat"? Those are just too adorable to pass up. Plus, the classic "Macaron" series always adds a sweet touch to any collection. Knowing that full sets and singles will be available makes it even better. Sometimes I love the surprise of a blind box single, other times I just need that complete set! A word of advice for the drop: whether you're planning to go in store or shop online, be prepared! For in store events, it sounds like tickets start at 1 PM, so definitely get there early if you want the best chance at securing your favorites. The atmosphere at these events is always electric, a real community vibe among fellow collectors. If you're joining online, make sure your internet connection is solid, and be ready right at 2 PM. These figures often sell out in minutes! I've had my fair share of near misses, but the victories are so rewarding. I'm also hoping to see some of the other fantastic series mentioned in the OCR, like Mokoko, Fall in Wild, Pumpkin, Checkmate, and Wings of Fortune. It's always a treat when there's a wider selection. It means more chances to find that perfect piece that speaks to you. What are you hoping to snag this Saturday? Are you going for a specific character from "Big Into Energy" or hoping to complete your "Have a Seat" collection? Let me know your drop day strategy! There's nothing quite like the shared excitement of the Pop Mart community. Good luck everyone, and may your hauls be legendary!
