Labubu secret odds for 24 boxes (two cases)

Two cases. Twice the boxes, not twice the odds. The tier people reach after one case disappointed them — and where the gambler's fallacy does its most expensive work. Last updated 2026-08-31.

28.5% chance of at least one secret from twenty-four boxes (two cases) — at 1:72 printed odds

The claim this box count disproves

Circulating: “I went through a case already, so I'm due.”

Actually: The boxes you already opened change nothing about the ones you have not. Doubling from twelve to twenty-four boxes does not double your chance from 15.5% to 31% either — independent draws compound, they do not add.

The math, in the open

For twenty-four boxes (two cases) drawn independently, the chance of at least one secret is 1 − (1 − 1/N)24 and the expected count is simply 24/N. Across every reported series format:

Series formatPrinted oddsChance of at least one secret
Standard 6-figure series1:7228.5%
Some collab series (low end)1:12018.2%
Extended 12-figure series1:14415.4%
Some collab series (high end)1:16813.3%
Glow / ultra variants1:7203.3%

Model: independent single-box draws at the printed odds. Sealed-case allocation can differ — these numbers model loose boxes. The authoritative number is always the one printed on that series' own box; the rates here are collector-reported for orientation (sources in the dataset).

What that costs — as a multiple, not a price

We do not print prices — they rotate with series and stock. As a multiple: the expected cost of one secret is 72× a single box at 1:72, 144× at 1:144 and 720× at 1:720. Twenty-four boxes (two cases) covers 0.33 of that. Put your own local box price into the calculator on the psychology page.
