I went to the Lego Store in Leicester Sq today, as I work nearby. Only a handful of them had the large qr codes, the rest were the small codes! A member of staff spotted what as I was doing and told me the old batch are large qr codes, and the new ones are small.

@@KMPphotography1 That's some great trivia. The point is that Lego is about imagination, not trying to represent every abnormality or disability people may have. If people want to imagine their minifigs are deaf, they have always been able to do so.
@@KMPphotography1 Your problem is you seem to think it is necessary for toys based on imagination to represent every human disability, which is impossible. Kids don't need to see a toy "like them" to have fun. That just sets kids up for disappointment instead of teaching them to overcome adversity. But thanks for signing off. That's what people do when they have no argument LOL
@@KMPphotography1 Being a specialist in childhood development doesn't make you an expert in toy design, which was the topic. So again, by your "logic", toy makers such as Lego should not focus on fostering imagination. They should be preoccupied with making sure their toy minifigs represent all the thousands of abnormalities, disabilities, etc... As I said, that is impossible, but predictably you offer no rebuttal to my point. So you are helping kids that have been bullied. That is great. When my generation was growing up, we were told to ignore bullies and they will leave you alone... because it worked. So if you have been helping kids, why do they also need toys that "look like them"? Makes no sense. And FYI I work with kids as well. I teach them to be strong individuals, not weaklings who need to be validated in every product they buy, or form of media they use. Also funny how you criticize me for needing to have the last word, yet here you are responding again, when you already said goodbye LOL
It's strange.. as a kid in the 80s who was crazy about footy (and other) trading cards that came in packs of like 5 or 6 or 10 or whatever - with a stick of gum - I'd love the same experience again. Doesn't quite make sense here, given the price and it's only for one figure. If they sold for the same price but had maybe two or three randoms in a pack, that'd reduce the cost to collect and keep the "oooh what am I gonna get!" fun.

I think the boxes are going to backfire on LEGO. I already saw with the Marvel Series 2 minifigs, boxes being opened and put back on the shelves at the Walmarts in my area. Retailers are either going to start locking up or keeping the minifigs behind the counter, as with the bookstore you mentioned, or they're simply going to refuse to carry them because they'll be getting too much damaged/unsellable product.
Same thing where I live. Went to my local Walmart thinking I'd pick up a Marvel CMF box just for the hell of it, but EVERY SINGLE ONE was torn open. Wasn't sure if this was just a my area thing, a Walmart thing, or both, since my local Walmart has been pretty bad with people (probably unattended kids) ripping products open. I'll never forget the craft aisle constantly being covered in thick layers of glue and glitter...
@@ARDIZsq I tend to think it's probably adult collectors, at least in my area. I live in a small town, so we don't usually have problems with shoplifting or other crime. Kids are typically well-behaved in the store, that I see. The other two Walmarts in my range are 20 minutes away along the highway in either direction, they're both in more developed areas, but they're still in usually crime-free areas. I can't say I've ever seen any other merchandise in any department that's been similarly opened in any of these three locations. It's just been the LEGO minifigs, and just since the switch to boxes instead of bags.
@@ARDIZsq I don’t think it’s too much of a coincidence. The Walmart over in Indiana where I’m at somebody went through and opened up all the Star Wars sets and took out all the Mandalorian and other mini figures and just left the pieces everywhere on the shelf.

bc then noone would buy duplicates and thas not good for them this way only a few people will scan it most of thme will buy randomly and thats a huge profit ans they can say they give an option to see whats inisde just they doesnt tell it to most of the people
@@edgardpalotai619 people army build CMF. I buy duplicates. I get bad choices later turn into winning options to make something else. least with an app I can army build CMF I want now. but still gonna get the others eventually before each retires.
The toy shop that's in the city near me, they would have done all the hard work for you. When you go in, all the bags were labelled so you knew what you were getting. They were 100% accurate. Now the CMFs are in boxes, they can't help
The difference in "elaboraton" in a single series was always something i found odd. On one side you got the Vampire with a new cape, new helmet and fancy shield and axe, but then there is the Triceratops whos just there on its own. Sure he has the new head mold and beautiful printing, but imo he feels idk unfinished maybe without any accessories. Like why couldnt he have a plant or bone pieces to hold?
we got different themes too, some gay schroom person or disabled sportsman which are literal trash, i would totally give them out for free. And the cool vampire knight and viking lady lol.
I had good success using the packing order method with a fresh box at a grocery store. Made it very easy... too easy... what is the point of blind box if the pros know what to get via the codes and pack order. I went to the famous big family store though and they had all theirs mixed in a big bin, so I didn't try any there. The goatherder and bat knight were my top picks, but the barbarian is printed really nicely and maybe underestimated... the sword is a bit extreme, I like that is has a stud, he will be a viking.
Australia and NZ just got their first batch of these minifigs, and the barcode scanner is not working for it :( , the barcodes look to be different it seems.
I tried using the app to scan the boxes at my local Walmart, but it didn’t work. I noticed the app was using £, and I assumed it was a regional problem as I’m from the U.S. is that the reason I couldn’t scan the small code, or is there a different reason? Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
I tried this a couple days ago and some Qr code worked but with others didn't because they were faded. I don't know why but I decided to buy none of them
It works in Germany as well!! I got the detective and Basil lord today!! 😌 one of the store employees asked why I was photographing products, I told him about the application and he left without asking any more questions
doesn’t work when I was scanning the barcodes just now in Tesco it was just bringing a complete picture up of the series instead of the individual minifigure inside!
How does the app know what region I'm in? According to everything else I've seen, the numbers on boxes manufactured in Czech Republic are slightly different than those manufactured in Mexico.
My guess is that the every region gets a different code. Or, you, know just allow the app to track your location. Phones have been doing that for years.
Hi there - I work on the Brick Search app so I can clarify this. It'll work regardless of region as there are two codes, one for each region, and both are in the app's back-end. So the app doesn't need to know your region, it will scan the code on the box and show you the corresponding minifigure.
@@andrewtuft8386doesn’t work when I was scanning the barcodes just now in Tesco it was just bringing a complete picture up of the series instead of the individual minifigure inside!
My Walmart just put out a few, in a PDQ with a few different lego small sets as Easter gifts. It had a mix of a few that would work with the app and a few that wouldn't. So can't hurt to check anyways. I lucked out and got a Vampire Knight. Sadly it was only that and the Gamer Girl in the boxes that could be scanned. I kinda want the Goatherd and Barbarian as well and I doubt my Walmart are going to get more.
Everywhere I go I still can't do this because people have either torn them all open, or they're kept behind the counter (Rightfully so!) and won't let me scan them :(
Stop crying and go and find your desired minifigs. I got 8 Vampire Knights and 6 Goatherds all by using pocket scale. I had to go to 3 different stores to find them.
For what its worth. I have seen cases with mixed barcodes. I grabbed a number of the updated barcode ones before scanning them in the store and they are all of the same 4. Not really a big issue but just keep that in mind.
The gamer girl is nice, Black Falcon symbol on the front and if you have the Friends Gamer Room set..... Nexo had a Black Falcon shield as well. So yeah, so many options to tie in the Forrestmen & Adventures lines...
Great work! I tried the app earlier! Worked great on the big QR codes except when they were printed badly! The store also had a ton of small codes sitting around, so I wonder how long this will work. 😎
At Walmart on Friday I saw a rack of boxes and like 75% had already been popped , hanging so you could just look to see and I picked what I wanted , I ended up buying like 6 figures . This bricksearch app way sounds better though and hopefully this is the way so boxes don’t get popped and risk parts falling out.
If you're getting a picture of all the minifigures rather than just the one in the box, the app has scanned the barcode instead of the dot matrix code. You just need to cover that up with a finger or piece of paper etc so the app knows which thing to scan
Yea so in response to them putting them into cardboard boxes over at Walmart people have instead rip open the box to see what's inside of them. And so the workers gotta tape them up because cant have that happen.
Thank you so much I tried the app in Smyth's toys here in the UK this morning (13th Jan) and it worked perfectly. I found the goatherd , triceratops girl , vampire knight and dog groomer no problem. It's fantastic thank you so much 😊
Which batch are those from? I got the box of 6 from Lego online and they all had the small dot matrix code, so i wonder if the stores have different codes
Hey man! I wanted the Robin Hood and prince john mini figures I travelled to a bunch of target stores for them. Even got to work late one day cause of it. I don’t care if I looked a fool. I got my 3 Robin Hood’s and 3 little John’s. So who looks a fool now. 😜😜😜
After watching tons of videos to try to solve this, I ended up using a small scale and found my goat battle pack. 4 in 2 boxes. So, since the small matrix codes don’t work here, I’ll wait until a better solution comes along to find the others on my list. Thankfully, only 2 others. 😂
I do not like the new mini fig box’s. I never felt up my mini fig packages to figure out what fig I am getting. I simply don’t like the fact that because the box’s are so easy to steal from no retails are carrying them (I’m in Los Angeles) it sucks.
This may have me actually buy CMFs for once, and not just one. If only Lego knew they could sell so much more if they didn't hide their products behind blindbags. Now I only have to find a store that has these things, with the right kinda code, and not behind the cashier, and have the figures I want... it Would be easier if I could just order them online without a 150% markup.
Some of the prices on Ebay aren't awful it is the shipping that kills me. Like I don't like having to pay half the damn price of a figure I am already paying extra for just to ship the damn thing to me. I am willing to wait the extra days or weeks for less money spent.
I don't even entertain the idea of buying these things. Getting a complete set of Super Mario Characters Sets Series 5 and Series 6 was a (six figures/series) was an absolute pain. Twelve Minifigs to collect, not bothering. BTW, I do not think there was an even distribution of the Super Mario Character figures. Have all kinds of dups, except for Toad. One for Series 5 and two for Series 6. At least with the Super Mario Character sets there are lots of pieces for repurposing, so that is a plus.
Awesome that the app can do this Lego should make an official way thats always the same to identify minifigures The mushroom girl would work well for a Mario toad
They would make less money because people won't be buying multiple packs to get a figure they want. Hell I can't bring myself to buy specific ones on Ebay because while I can understand a markup to get the actual figure I want, as long as it isn't more than about ten dollars of retail, I dislike having to pay half or more of the cost of an already more expensive figure in shipping.
I was all set to scan the bottoms of boxes to find the 5 or 6 that I wanted. My local stores only had the ones with the small QR codes so I couldn't scan them. Then I took a trip and checked the local walmart there, and those only had the small QR codes. Luckily though some kind soul had opened every pack on the display and I found all the ones I wanted. I have no idea what that other person was looking for but I picked up 3 goat herders so it wasn't that one. I also picked up a couple of the mushroom person, bat knight, triceratops guy, and harpy. Pretty funny. They are going to be left with MANY fitness instructors and dog groomers, there were tons of those.
That would’ve been super helpful I don’t recommend it but I opened almost all the boxes at the store to get what I wanted but i didn’t find what I wanted I haven’t bought any Lego since that set cuz I’m broke& poor
Hopefully they keep this system. It works out for everyone now.
honestly I prefer the challenge of feeling up the bag for 5 minutes over having an app take all the fun from me but what can you do

When do you think LEGO will stop shipping/making/producing them.

Yea so in response to them putting them into cardboard boxes over at Walmart people have instead rip open the box to see what's inside of them. And so the workers gotta tape them up because cant have that happen.
It's a QR code not dot matrix code and certainly not bar code. Btw a box full had 3 full sets for me with various QR code sizes.

This may have me actually buy CMFs for once, and not just one. If only Lego knew they could sell so much more if they didn't hide their products behind blindbags. Now I only have to find a store that has these things, with the right kinda code, and not behind the cashier, and have the figures I want... it Would be easier if I could just order them online without a 150% markup.
Some of the prices on Ebay aren't awful it is the shipping that kills me. Like I don't like having to pay half the damn price of a figure I am already paying extra for just to ship the damn thing to me. I am willing to wait the extra days or weeks for less money spent.
The app only works in the UK do you know an app for the US
I don't even entertain the idea of buying these things. Getting a complete set of Super Mario Characters Sets Series 5 and Series 6 was a (six figures/series) was an absolute pain. Twelve Minifigs to collect, not bothering. BTW, I do not think there was an even distribution of the Super Mario Character figures. Have all kinds of dups, except for Toad. One for Series 5 and two for Series 6. At least with the Super Mario Character sets there are lots of pieces for repurposing, so that is a plus.
Just tried this today. It doesn't work.
My local Sainsburys let me down with their boxes ☹️
Awesome that the app can do this
Lego should make an official way thats always the same to identify minifigures
The mushroom girl would work well for a Mario toad
Or just tell you (on the box) what the figures are
They would make less money because people won't be buying multiple packs to get a figure they want. Hell I can't bring myself to buy specific ones on Ebay because while I can understand a markup to get the actual figure I want, as long as it isn't more than about ten dollars of retail, I dislike having to pay half or more of the cost of an already more expensive figure in shipping.
Thank you
Didn’t work in the Leicester Square LEGO store
What App is this for the scan ?
I was all set to scan the bottoms of boxes to find the 5 or 6 that I wanted. My local stores only had the ones with the small QR codes so I couldn't scan them. Then I took a trip and checked the local walmart there, and those only had the small QR codes. Luckily though some kind soul had opened every pack on the display and I found all the ones I wanted. I have no idea what that other person was looking for but I picked up 3 goat herders so it wasn't that one. I also picked up a couple of the mushroom person, bat knight, triceratops guy, and harpy. Pretty funny. They are going to be left with MANY fitness instructors and dog groomers, there were tons of those.
Works in the Netherlands for big QR codes
Great work
That would’ve been super helpful I don’t recommend it but I opened almost all the boxes at the store to get what I wanted but i didn’t find what I wanted I haven’t bought any Lego since that set cuz I’m broke& poor
Thanks for the heads up on the Bricksearch app! I look forward to trying it to hunt down these figures!
