Why not mention blind boxes and Labubu

I never understand why people "collect" these things

Labubus are much less about collectior value. They are more like a wearable luxury item that's sold via a gambling mechanic.

Their value is much less speculative and much more closely based on (blindbox price * distribution percentage of the rare variants) than most of the other items being dicussed here.
