Where to Buy Labubu in Portland: Local Shops, Online, and Studio Options

Portland's indie retail culture and love of all things quirky make it a city that should be a Labubu hotspot — and the demand is there. But the supply side is still catching up. Here's an honest look at where Portland collectors find their Labubu.

Local Retail in Portland

Portland has no Pop Mart store, and neither does anywhere else in Oregon. The city's strength is its independent retail scene — neighborhoods like Alberta Arts District, Hawthorne, Mississippi, and downtown have specialty toy shops, comic stores, and import retailers that sometimes carry designer toy lines.

Some Japanese and Asian import shops on 82nd Avenue and in the Jade District carry Pop Mart products. Portland's vintage and secondhand shops occasionally have Labubu figures in their collectibles sections, though at resale prices rather than retail.

Oregon has no sales tax, which is a genuine advantage for in-person buying. That $15 blind box is actually $15 — no extra charges at the register.

Online Buying from Portland

Portland collectors benefit from West Coast shipping speeds — 2-3 days from most US sellers. And Oregon's lack of sales tax applies to many online purchases too, depending on the seller's nexus status. Pop Mart, resale platforms, and direct shops all serve Portland well.

The trade-off with online buying from Portland is that the city's excellent local retail culture makes the in-person hunt appealing. But for specific Labubu designs, online is still more reliable than hoping your favorite shop got a restock.

Studio Editions Delivered to Portland

Duck Bubu, Snow Wing Bubu, and Pink Fang Bubu ship to any Portland address for $6.99 flat. Each is $49.90, 18×16×10 cm, hand-finished 3D printed. You pick the exact design.

Portland's no-sales-tax advantage means the out-the-door cost is just $56.89 for figure plus shipping — no hidden charges. For a guaranteed specific design without the scavenger hunt, that's competitive with what most collectors pay through any channel.
