Official Labubus are Now in South Africa! Here’s Where to Buy & How to Avoid Fakes
The official distributor for POP MART in South Africa, has announced that the anticipated new wave of Labubu products is set to launch in the country soon.
The latest range is called Labubu: Big into Energy and is available to pre-order through authorised resellers. What are authorised resellers? These are retailers and stores that get their POP MART products directly through official supply chains, which results in real products at affordable prices. You can find out more about where to buy here.
Purchasing from a non-official reseller comes with the risk of getting fake “Lafufu” products and paying well over R1,000 for grey imported/unofficial parallel imported goods. Non-official resellers have been taking advantage of the blind box craze by targeting consumers who are desperate to find stock of these products.
Thankfully, the BlindBoxZA community has now been formed to help with this. It is a local community aimed at keeping one another informed on stock availability, Lafufu knock-offs, and the best, safest places to purchase official POP MART products. You can join the community on WhatsApp at the moment, with plans to launch other platforms coming soon.
The new Labubu V3 Big into Energy items will start shipping as early as next week. Fans are encouraged to contact their preferred authorised retailer for pre-order details if they haven’t done so yet. More details on retailers can be found here.
