Chance the set holds the secret at all: about 8%. Agree on the secret rule before anyone opens a box.
Agree on the secret before anyone opens a box
In a 12-box set at 1 in 144, there's about an 8% chance a secret turns up. If it does, it takes one regular figure's place, so one friend's pick goes missing.
Two rules feel fair to most groups. The secret goes to whoever claimed the figure it replaced, or everyone gets an equal draw. Pick one above and the table shows each person's chance.
Write the rule in the group chat before the order ships. Settling it after someone pulls the secret is how friendships get tested.
Sharing makes the whole set affordable
Many fans only want two or three figures, so a whole set wastes money on the rest. Splitting it gives each person their picks at the box price, with no repeats, so nobody ends up trading away doubles afterwards.
It also helps when sets are hard to get. Collector Hannah Gumbley got Big Into Energy because "my friend had won the raffle and we shared a box."
Questions collectors ask
Can we split a 6-box Labubu set?
Yes. Three friends taking 2 figures each from a $161.94 set pay $53.98 each, before tax and shipping.
Does splitting change the odds of a secret?
No. The set has the same chance either way. Splitting only decides who pays what, and who keeps the secret if it shows up.
