I am surprised that I never heard of Labubu, Lafufu or PopMart or any of the other collectibles that you have mentioned as we have a twelve year old daughter :) We did spend last night shopping for Incari Alpacas via a Google Meets Video call to their warehouse in Netherlands :)

That is another interesting case in Marketing, you should look them up if you are not already aware of this brand. So we were first greeted by a lady who described what the VIP shopping experience would be like and that we are not required to buy anything, but of course we would :) Then she forwarded us to the warehouse team which consisted of two young Dutch guys who spoke flawless English with a slight Dutch accent. They had hundreds of these cute alpacas lined up on multiple tables and showed us everything we wanted to see and we were able pick our favorites and order.

Then they sent us a picture of our selections with an invoice, which we took care of this morning :)

This is not their normal selling model, it was a one time event, normally people just order those from their site: https://inkari-alpaca.com/
