Littlest Pet Shop blind boxes: what is verified, series by series
Generation 7 put Littlest Pet Shop back on the shelf as a $4–$9 blind box. Six series have appeared in US retail listings since 2024 — but the official record covers some of them far better than others, and Basic Fun has never published pull rates.
The short version
If you want a specific pet, buy it opened rather than chasing it: no odds have ever been published for these boxes. If you want the fun of the format, single boxes at $4–$6 are a fair price for a painted figure with an accessory and a collector card. If you want a full series, buy the sealed display — and check the series number on the box, because the wave on the shelf is not always the wave in the listing.
What a Gen 7 Pet Surprise box contains
Basic Fun's Generation 7 packaging is consistent across series. A single Pet Surprise box holds one 2-inch bobble-head pet, one themed compact accessory, a sheet of DIY gem stickers, a collector card and a collector guide.
- Age grade: 4 and up on the packaging, with a small-parts choking-hazard warning.
- Rarity: the collector card is where rarity is disclosed — the card identifies the pet's personality, habitat and rarity type.
- Virtual code: some formats include a code that unlocks digital items through the brand's online play experience.
- Habitats: Series 6 groups pets into four habitats — Pawsville Plaza, Furrytail Forest, Cyberpet City and Glam Glacier.
The six series, and how well each one is documented
| Series | Confirmed | Not confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Series 1 | 18 pets in the display, numbered 1–18; each box has a pet, accessory, collector card, virtual code and guide (collector-site compilation, not an official checklist) | Per-pet checklist; odds |
| Series 2 | 18 pets, numbered #70–#87; on sale by September 2024; rarity types disclosed on the collector cards; also sold as six different 3-packs | Odds; complete single-box checklist |
| Series 3 | Sold at Target as Surprise Pet Pairs by July 2025 | Set size; whether it is a true single-box series |
| Series 4 | Listed in retail channels | Any reliable checklist found |
| Series 5 | 18 new pets; purse-shaped pack; Chase Pet is a Raccoon with a fuzzy tail; release January 2026 | Odds; per-pet rarity beyond the chase |
| Series 6 | 18 pets, including Basset Hound, Rat, Seal, Moth, Moose, Red Tree Panda and Greyhound; four habitats; at Target by October 2026 | Odds; whether the display is packed without repeats |

What they cost right now
| Format | Listed price | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Single box, Series 2 | $3.99 | Target listing |
| Single box, Series 6 | $4.99 | Target listing |
| Single box, Series 6 (clearance) | $5.99, $5.69 for Pro members | GameStop listing, currently unavailable |
| Single purse pack, Series 5 | $8.99 | ToyWiz listing |
| Sealed 18-pet display | $88.45, about $4.91 a pet | Walmart listing |
Prices move constantly and a listing is a snapshot, not a policy — the $3.99 Series 2 box and the $8.99 Series 5 purse pack are the same physical format sold at different moments. The useful comparison is cost per pet: a sealed display at $88.45 is about $4.91 a pet and is the only route that puts the whole 18 in your hands in one purchase, if the display is genuinely sealed.
Do not assume an 18-pet display contains 18 different pets. Basic Fun publishes no such guarantee, and the box art describes an assortment. Treat a display as a discount on volume, not a guarantee of a complete set — unless the listing explicitly says otherwise.
Chase pets and rarity
Rarity exists in Gen 7, and it is disclosed on the collector card rather than by an odds sheet. Basic Fun has confirmed that pets carry rarity levels; Series 5 names its chase explicitly — a Raccoon with a fuzzy tail.
What is not published is how rare a chase actually is. For a line priced at $4.99 a box, this matters: at a hypothetical 1 in 144 the expected cost of pulling one is around $719, which is far above what the opened figure trades for. The pull-rate guide shows the arithmetic. The honest reading is that the chase is a bonus, not a purchasing strategy.
Two practical checks when buying seconds: the collector card should match the pet in the box, and a figure sold as "sealed" should still be in its inner foil bag. Opened pets relisted as new are the most common disappointment in this line.
How to collect this line without wasting money
- Pick a series, not "all of it". Six series of 18 pets is 108 figures. Choose the wave whose sculpts and habitat theme you actually like and finish that one.
- Read the series number on the box. Retailers restock older waves, and a listing photo is often a stock image of a different series.
- Use 3-packs for the regulars. Series 2 shipped as six 3-packs, which is a cheaper way to collect a defined trio than three random singles.
- Buy one display, then trade. A sealed display gives you volume; the duplicates it produces are the currency for the pets you are missing.
- Check the age grade before gifting. These are 4+ toys with small parts. A pet-themed figure does not change the choking-hazard rules.
Questions collectors ask
How many pets are in a Littlest Pet Shop blind box?
One, plus an accessory, a collector card and a collector guide. Series 6 has 18 pets to collect; earlier series vary in how completely that number is documented.
Are the odds published?
No. Basic Fun discloses rarity levels on the collector cards but has not published per-pet pull rates for any Generation 7 series. Any exact percentage you see quoted is an estimate.
Is a sealed display worth it?
At about $4.91 a pet against $4.99–$5.99 singles, a display is a small discount and a lot of storage. It is worth it if you want most of the wave; it is a poor buy if you only want three pets.
Which series is the current one?
Series 6 was listed at Target by October 2026 and is the newest wave we could confirm. Series 5, released January 2026, is still widely listed.
