Pop Mart NYC Physical Stores
Pop Mart has a flagship store in NYC — the SoHo location at 632 Broadway is the primary one. Hours and stock availability change with drops; check Pop Mart's app for restock alerts before making the trip.
Inventory at physical stores varies by day. The SoHo location typically stocks full current series plus some previous series. Weekday mornings tend to have better availability than weekend afternoons when foot traffic clears shelves fast.
Pop Mart US Website (Ships to NYC)
us.popmart.com ships nationwide, including NYC. The advantage over the physical store: you can set notifications for restocks and buy at retail ($18–22) without traveling. The disadvantage: high-demand drops sell out in minutes — you need to be logged in and ready.
Pop Mart US site ships standard ground (usually 5–7 business days to NYC). If you're buying a current series at retail, this is the most reliable channel.
NYC Secondhand: eBay, Mercari, Local Markets
eBay has strong NYC-area seller presence for Labubu. Search 'labubu' and filter by 'US only' sellers, then sort by 'Sold listings' to see what actually trades at what price (not just asking prices). Common editions run $50–80; sought-after editions $100–250+.
Local options: GreenFlea Market (Columbus Ave & 77th, Sundays) and Brooklyn Flea have sporadic toy/collectible sellers. Hit-or-miss for Labubu specifically. Japan Vintage (various locations) sometimes has Pop Mart stock at near-retail.
Counterfeit Risk in NYC
NYC has significant counterfeit figure traffic — Canal Street and some midtown tourist areas occasionally have fake Labubu. These are obvious to experienced eyes but can fool newcomers. Avoid any unsealed Labubu from street vendors or unverified import shops.
For secondhand: use the same authentication process as anywhere — QR code check, paint inspection, seller history review. NYC's density of both legitimate and illegitimate sources makes verification especially important.
Ships to NYC: 3D Printed Alternative
Labubu Studio (voxelyo.com) ships to all NYC zip codes — flat $6.99 shipping regardless of borough. Processing in 3–5 business days. For NYC residents tired of competing for Pop Mart drops or navigating resale, this is the no-lottery option: pick Duck, Snow Wing, Angel, or Pink Fang, pay $49.90 + $6.99, receive in about a week.
