Struggling to get your hands on a Labubu? The viral Labubu URL trick might be your best shot. Learn how this method helps fans buy Labubu faster and beat the sellout rush.
What Is the Labubu URL Trick?
The URL Trick Can Boost Your Chances of Getting a Labubu Before It Sells Out
There’s something fans call the Spreadsheet Method or the URL Method. This is where people in collector circles make shared spreadsheets with direct product links, updated prices, and restock alerts. These docs float around in Discord servers and reddit threads, and they’ve become a lowkey essential for anyone hunting Labubu drops.
People do this because it gives them a shot at grabbing the doll before it’s fully public. When drops sell out in seconds, even a tiny edge like skipping the homepage can mean the difference between scoring one and walking away empty-handed.
Some people rely on the spreadsheet side of things, they just click the pre-made links and go. Others do it manually. If you’ve seen people talk about the “Labubu URL trick,” this is what they’re doing: open an old Labubu product link, then swap the item code at the end with the one for the new drop. That new link should take you straight to the buy page, sometimes even before it shows up on the homepage. It doesn’t guarantee anything, but it gives you a head start. And when you’re competing with thousands of other fans, even a few seconds can make all the difference.
How to Do the Labubu URL Trick (Step-by-Step)
The Two Ways to Use the Labubu URL Trick (Spreadsheet vs Manual)
Trying the Labubu URL trick for the first time? You’ve got two ways to do it: either grab a fan-made spreadsheet, or go manual and start swapping numbers in URLs yourself. Both are meant to do the same thing, help you skip the homepage and go straight to the buy page before everyone else finds it.
Most people go with the spreadsheet method. Some of these sheets are actually really smart, you just update one number and it refreshes all the links for you. They get shared around on Reddit and Discord, especially when a big drop is about to hit. If you’re fast, they can seriously boost your chances.
Step-by-Step Guide: Using the Spreadsheet Method
| Step | What to Do |
|---|
| 1 |
Make a copy of a shared Labubu spreadsheet.
For example, this spreadsheet by @literallyelir on
Reddit.
Open it in Google Sheets and click “File → Make a Copy.” |
| 2 |
Look up the latest product code or “box number.”
You can usually find the most recent one either on Pop Mart’s website or fans post updates in Reddit threads or Discords right before a drop. |
| 3 |
Update the top cell in the spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet should auto-update all URLs when you change the top number. |
| 4 | Wait for the drop to go live.
This trick works best right when the drop starts, that’s when most boxes are available. |
| 5 | Click through the links until one works.
If the link hits, you’ll land on a buy page. If not, you’ll see a sold-out message. Keep trying. |
| 6 | Repeat and adjust.
Update the numbers or spacing between URLs to find more active pages. |

| Step | What to Do |
|---|
| 1 | Go to the Pop Mart website in a browser.
The URL trick doesn’t work in the app. You need to be using the desktop or mobile web version. |
| 2 | Find the link to the Labubu product you want. |
| 3 | Look at the product number listed on the page itself, not just the URL.
Pop Mart’s product pages show a product ID that’s slightly different from the one in the link. That’s the number you want to experiment with. |
| 4 | Figure out the number range that usually changes.
It’s often the middle 3 digits of the product code that shift between drops. The front and back might stay consistent. |
| 5 | Manually swap the middle digits in the URL.
Try small variations (like increasing by 1 or 2) until you land on a working product page. If it works, it’ll take you directly to the buy page even if the item hasn’t been listed yet. |
| 6 | Use the link as soon as the drop goes live.
You’ll want to have several guesses ready to try fast, the earlier you land on the right code, the better your shot. |
The TikTok video above shows how it works too, if you want to see it in action.
Labubu URL Trick Not Working?
Labubu URL Trick Troubleshooting & Common Questions
If the Labubu URL trick isn’t working for you, don’t worry, it happens. It’s not a guaranteed strategy, but when it works, it works. Here’s a breakdown of the most common questions and issues collectors run into:
How does the URL method actually work?
Each product has its own product page, sometimes hundreds of them. When you click a link, you’re hitting a randomly generated product ID. Some of those pages will already be sold out. But if you find one others haven’t hit yet, you might still be able to buy. That’s why people click through dozens of links fast during a drop.
It’s not working, what should I do?
Double check the links you’re using. A lot of issues come from typos in the product code or using links that are already sold out. If you’re using a spreadsheet, make sure the top number is updated to match the most recent drop.
Will I definitely get a Labubu using this trick?
Nope. It’s not a sure thing. This is just one of many tools fans use to increase their chances. Labubu drops sell out super fast, and even with the URL trick, it’s still competitive. But it can give you a head start others might not have.
Is the URL trick banned?
There have been rumors about it, but no, it’s not banned or blocked as of now. The trick still works on the Pop Mart website.
Why doesn’t it work on the app?
The trick only works in a browser. If you’re using the app, it won’t load the direct links the same way. Just use Chrome, Safari, or another browser to run the links.
Do I have to use a spreadsheet?
Not at all. Spreadsheets just make it easier to test a bunch of links quickly. If you want, you can totally do it manually by swapping numbers in the URL yourself.
Who Started the Labubu URL Trick?
The Method Has Always Existed Amongst Collectors, Reddit User Pants1214 Popularized it for Labubu
There isn’t one person who started the Labubu URL trick. It’s something that’s been passed around by collectors, and versions of this method have been used for years to grab limited items before they sell out. People have used similar tricks for sneakers, toys, tickets, and more.
One of the best breakdowns of how the method works came from a Reddit post by a user named pants1214. They shared a spreadsheet template with built-in link formulas and gave clear instructions on how to use it. It’s become one of the go-to tools for people trying the method for the first time.
The post and the spreadsheet are both still live, and they’ve helped a lot of fans score Labubu drops more easily.
