Local Retail in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Minneapolis has no Pop Mart store — the Upper Midwest is a Pop Mart desert. The Twin Cities do have some solid collectible shops, particularly in Uptown Minneapolis, Northeast Minneapolis, and along Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Asian import shops on Nicollet Avenue and University Avenue sometimes carry Pop Mart products.
Mall of America in Bloomington is the obvious place to check — its massive retail footprint includes toy and collectible shops that occasionally stock designer toy lines. But don't make the trip specifically for Labubu without calling ahead; availability is far from guaranteed.
The Hmong and Asian-American communities in the Twin Cities support import retail that sometimes includes Pop Mart, particularly in the Midway area of St. Paul.
Online is the Practical Choice
Minneapolis is far from major coastal fulfillment centers, so shipping typically takes 3-5 days from either coast. That said, central US distribution hubs serve the Twin Cities well, and online is still faster than driving around in January hoping shops have stock.
Minnesota charges sales tax on online purchases. Pop Mart, resale platforms, and direct sellers all ship to the Twin Cities without issue. For specific Labubu designs, online beats the limited local retail options every time.
Studio Editions Shipped to Minneapolis
Duck Bubu, Snow Wing Bubu, and Pink Fang Bubu all ship to any Twin Cities address for $6.99 flat. Each is $49.90, 18×16×10 cm, hand-finished 3D printed. Choose your design, stay warm.
For Minneapolis collectors, the calculus is simple: limited local retail, long winters that make browsing less appealing, and reliable online shipping. Studio editions give you exactly what you want without the uncertainty.
