You either love 'em or hate 'em, but the Labubu craze is still going strong in Singapore.

Now, local claw machine operators have entered the game, offering blind boxes of the popular Pop Mart character for players to try their hand at snagging one.

In the span of half an hour, avid fan Lu Tianfu (transliteration) was spotted catching three of such blind boxes at an arcade in Jurong Point on Wednesday (Oct 23).


The 41-year-old architectural consultant told Shin Min Daily News he plays the Labubu claw machines to destress.

"Work is very stressful, so I will visit different arcades in the west almost every day. Now, I sell all that I catch."

Lu added that he has over 60 Labubu blind boxes as well as larger figures purchased online in his collection. He has splashed out over $10,000 on the dolls in one month, according to the Chinese evening daily.

Crazy. I wouldn’t do that

 

[Capitalist]

I dont know what is there to be proud of and go on the news.

10 years from now when he look back he is going to feel dem stupid.

Appears more xia suay and childish, to me.

Well, ... I'm entitled to my comment, no?

 

[Mephist0pheLes]

He sld jus buy a claw machine, might be cheaper in the long run

 

[Sillyporeboy]

How to indirectly show ppl that chiu ish brigin and BBFA

 

[Youareme]

too stressful
seems like got mental hoarder syndrome.

 

[Roughice]

So long as never go into debt, compromise day to day life, don't see any issues with it

Everybody has their own unproductive hobbies, this is no different

 

[Visor9999]

lol 10k is nothing to an architect. his pay can be from like 10-20+k. only half his pay nia , LOL he happy can liao

His home must be huge to keep storing these items. Size of gcb?

 

[Visor9999]

First thought ish siao lang spend so much moneh...but then think again, everyone got their own hobbies.

Even though I won't go spend money on this kind of thing, as long he is able to fund his hobbies, no need to go judge people.

It’s depends on their house size for this kind of items. Usually normal homes too small, no place to put dolls. In sg, usually people spend money on digital items like games or online subscriptions

Hard to say....
If you have some cards for example Pokémon (first edition grade 10 charilizard) can worth over thousands of dollar
