So, apparently there's a thing going on that completely passed me by. Everyone is buying these little toys called Labubus, and by everyone I mean grown ups. Actual grown ups. At first I was pretty flabbergasted by this, like, get a grip amirite? But then it occurred to me that exatly the same thing happened in the '80s and '90s, and now I feel all warm and fuzzy about those toys. Sure I was a child then, but adults were buying them with the same gusto as now – remember that divorcing couple who had to get lawyers to help them divide their Beanie Babies?
Anyway, a lot of those old toys are now worth huge amounts of money. Huge. Thousands of dollars (pounds) in some cases. So I thought we should have a look at the Labubu equivalents of the past and find out exactly how much money they could get you now if you happen to have one lying around. Or how much you need to spend to buy them, if you're inspired by this post.
