Where and how to get Labubu in Utah

• Sold in "blind boxes," buyers don't know which version they'll get — sparking a resale frenzy and soaring prices.

The intrigue: Buying one has gotten tricky, even for those of us with a local store.

How it works: The toys are available via the Pop Mart App — which, as of Tuesday, only listed products that were "out of stock" or "coming soon."

Yes, but: Staff at the new Fashion Place Mall store say they do get shipments some weeks — and those can be purchased on the app, too.

• Follow the store on Instagram; a story will appear when new products drop. Then you can buy online and pick up your doll in the store.

You also can win the collectibles at Claw Zone, SLC's new claw machine arcade.

The big picture: Millennials and Gen Z adults — aka "kidults" — are all in on a collectibles craze, and it's reshaping the U.S. toy market.

Catch up quick: Labubu is an elf-like character created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung.

• After gaining a following through Pop Mart's 2019 release, its popularity exploded with Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and David Beckham among the celebs displaying the dolls on their bags.
