The more I look at them the more I'm liking this series. Love to see an update on your loft buddy was enjoying the progress, and enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you 😀 I have taken on board some feedback on the loft. I am going to show and discuss a rearrangement in a video hopefully soon. I have still been unsuccessful getting all the parts I need for MILS platting, so may just start putting sets up there to get the ball rolling. I can always MILS them later.
It’s great when you can find these minifigures early and also when they’ve not been mixed up by other people. I’m personally on the fence about this collection but I’m sure I’ll weaken when they get them at my local Tesco lol.
I was not entirely convinced when first seeing images of them. Once I had a look at the minifigures in person though I was very impressed by the series. Hopefully you'll enjoy them too 😀
These space themed Minifigures are really good and I like the Alien Beetlezoid a lot because insects have their place in the world and also in the universe.
I think it's worth noting, on the Ice Planet gal, the renders show the blue bit of the chainsaw with the stud facing out, and /that/ attaching to the back studs to stow it away.
You're right, I could not believe my luck when I actually saw them on the shelf! Great favourite minifigure choices, the Orion looks amazing in person.
Thanks for this! I did actually use the Brick search app yest in my local Sainsburys and was a little surprised how well it worked!! They only have series 25 at the moment, but wanted to test how accurate it was. My Morrisons is a few miles away so hoping they have series 26 in!!
Never occurred to me before, but the robot chef appears to have mashed potato in their pan... are they a tribute to the Smash robots from the 1970's UK TV adverts?
Think it's a cross Homage.. Legs are very similar to the original lost on space robots.. the bubble head as well.. The toros seems to be gerneric.. thought the back reminded of a old 80s toy Teddy Ruxpin..
Haha I got the heads up about Morrisons, so popped in only 4 packets left, so me and ma boi went on a birthday adventure to another Morrison and well we are now the proud own of a full set and a couple spare. PS. For the ice planet explore you can attach the chainsaw to the back pack
Good to hear you were successful getting them too 😀 Thank you for the tip on the Ice Planet chainsaw! I had to spin a piece around, it worked although I'm sure Lego could have made it look a bit neater with an extra piece or two.
No clear cut one this time. I think the one with the space baby will do quite while. Then the Blacktron, M-Tron and Ice Planet ones will be popular with a lot of Lego fans. The alien beetlezoid may do quite well too for army building.
I used the bricksearch app. A normal QR reader would just give you the code, which you would then have to compare to a list. It's what I did in this video ruclips.net/video/kTmXMh4sz7E/видео.html for series 25 before these specialised Lego apps were updated to make it easier, showing a picture of what is inside.
They tend not to really go down in value. They will be phased out at the end of August 2024 if they have not run out of stock, may be the occasional discount then. I think it is best not to wait to avoid disappointment.
How long ago was it since you tried? From what I have heard the North America data is now uploaded to the app too, so should work now. I have found if the phone internet signal is weak the app does not load the ID, and just lists the item as the overall minifigure series. Something to think consider when out and about. Hope it ends up working for you and you get the minifigures you want 😀
Yes it usually does 👍 There were 2 sizes of QR code in series 25, with the older smaller ones not working. The newer QR codes were introduced early on in series 25, so most boxes should now work with the app.
That's a shame, I assume you found some in North America for sale early? Another person on here commented saying omgbricks app is another option to try and identify them.
What the f is wrong with you all,let's just tell the company to say who's in the box,id buy them if I knew what I was buying.this is lego ripping people off
Lego have made them "blind bag" ever since the first minifigure series. They have said they want to keep that going so people that enjoy getting a surprise can do so. At least there is a quick and easy option to find the ones you want now. Just need to spread the word so everyone that wants to do it actually knows about it.
@@construction_wolf unless you are someone who is opposed to cell phones.i love lego but refuse to become a phone slave,and feel extremely resentful to lego and all other companies forcing me to need a cell phone to do anything.in the near future when russia or China use a sonic device on us to knock out our E.M spectrum what are all you hooked on tech everything in life is on my phone fools going to do without power.it makes me sick ,you use that phone like a mentally challenged child uses its parent. You can't even find basic directions without it.this lego thing is a slap in the face,it's stupid .how many other lego fans do you want to lose.
From what I have heard the North America data is now uploaded to the app too, so it should work. Most of series 25 work with the app too, except for the earliest batch which had the older style smaller QR code.
Damn... my local Morrisons is hopeless, very hit and miss to whether they stock the minifigures at all... that said, i'll have to have a look later on.
The same system was in place for the majority of series 25. I generally think once the launch buzz died down it was not too hard to get the ones you wanted. It was kind of the same before with the bags where you could feel inside, although this method is much easier.
I'm definitely going to be using the app in the future!
So quick and easy to use, it's great we have the app as an option now.
The more I look at them the more I'm liking this series.

My man! Congrats on finding these early and uploading a review!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review 😀 I was certainly lucky to find them early!

Our Tesco stopped selling Lego all together over to much theft 😢.
These space themed Minifigures are really good and I like the Alien Beetlezoid a lot because insects have their place in the world and also in the universe.
Very true, Lego certainly did a great job on this minifigure as it is so unique.
I think it's worth noting, on the Ice Planet gal, the renders show the blue bit of the chainsaw with the stud facing out, and /that/ attaching to the back studs to stow it away.
You're right, I didn't realise this when doing the review. It works, although does not look quite neat enough for my liking.
You're so lucky to find them and make an early review! My favorite figure is Orion, but also like the Space Tourist, Ice Planet and Flying Saucer.
You're right, I could not believe my luck when I actually saw them on the shelf! Great favourite minifigure choices, the Orion looks amazing in person.
Thank you , this worked for me over here in New Zealand great app
Great to hear it worked for you too 😀

Nice, the app is quick and easy. Hope you get lucky and find series 26 in stock too 😀
@@construction_wolf Thank you!!
nice toy
Never occurred to me before, but the robot chef appears to have mashed potato in their pan... are they a tribute to the Smash robots from the 1970's UK TV adverts?
Interesting thought! You never know, maybe someone at Lego was inspired by them.
Think it's a cross Homage..
Legs are very similar to the original lost on space robots.. the bubble head as well..
The toros seems to be gerneric.. thought the back reminded of a old 80s toy Teddy Ruxpin..
the spacewalk naut has had that pack build before. but Waaaaaay back in the 90's but this one is nicer.
Interesting, an underused concept by Lego then. First time I'm seeing anything like it.
On the alien tourist does the hat separate from the head please??
Yes, the hat can be removed 👍
Haha I got the heads up about Morrisons, so popped in only 4 packets left, so me and ma boi went on a birthday adventure to another Morrison and well we are now the proud own of a full set and a couple spare.

RIP trans-neon orange
Yes!!! 😂 I miss it, colour had a good "pop" and reminds me of my childhood playing with Ice Planet Lego.
Hopefully this app will give us less "pre-opened " boxes in the stores
Totally! I was shocked to see that had happened in one store before. There will be no excuse to do that now with the app method.
Seems like the European/overseas stores are getting these before the U.S. ones are.
Some of these stores are being a bit careless, putting them out before the 1st May release date. I'm certainly not complaining 😄
MY FAVS ILL PLAY WITH OTHERS GO IN LEGO CASE
Nice, enjoy 👍
12:48 Who knows the movie _Meet Dave_ ?
I just googled it, completely forgot about that movie! You're right, it is the same concept 😂
The robot butler is made from a Teddy Ruxpin..
I admit I had to look up what that was 😂
so which one will have the most value/Price? Like the vampire knight or the guy with the sheep in minifigures 25?
No clear cut one this time. I think the one with the space baby will do quite while. Then the Blacktron, M-Tron and Ice Planet ones will be popular with a lot of Lego fans. The alien beetlezoid may do quite well too for army building.
Hello, which app are you using to identify QR code please? Thanks a lot from France 😉
Hello, sorry for the slow reply. I use an app called Bricksearch.
Which is better the Orion or the ufo figure?
I prefer the Orion one, but it is really down to personal taste.
What app did you use? Any qr reader would work?
I used the bricksearch app. A normal QR reader would just give you the code, which you would then have to compare to a list. It's what I did in this video ruclips.net/video/kTmXMh4sz7E/видео.html for series 25 before these specialised Lego apps were updated to make it easier, showing a picture of what is inside.
It doesn't work with Marvel CMF Series 2, right?
No, unfortunately it doesn't. They were the older style codes on that series.
How long should I wait for mini figures to go down in price and stabilize? I want to get a few without the blind box mechanic.
They tend not to really go down in value. They will be phased out at the end of August 2024 if they have not run out of stock, may be the occasional discount then. I think it is best not to wait to avoid disappointment.
Btw with the Imposter minifig, does the silver piece detach from the hairpiece?
The silver aerial piece does detach from the hairpiece 👍 A spare aerial is also included in the box.
@@construction_wolf Thanks!!
Seeing as there was a second on in the side bits.. and it's in a lavander color for Minions 4 sets.. Yes.
Does the same QR code work in the US barcode?
The QR codes are different in the US, but apparently the app has been updated to read US region codes too.
I used Cortex Scan in the US and it gave me all the codes
I guess it only works in the UK. Walmart in Las Vegas,NV has two cases full! Didnt buy any because the app wouldnt scan.
How long ago was it since you tried? From what I have heard the North America data is now uploaded to the app too, so should work now. I have found if the phone internet signal is weak the app does not load the ID, and just lists the item as the overall minifigure series. Something to think consider when out and about. Hope it ends up working for you and you get the minifigures you want 😀
@@construction_wolfwhat app is used to identify mini figures?
@@rootfish2671 I used the bricksearch app.
Nice vid! Does it work for other series like Marvel series 2 and Series 25?
Thank you! The only other series it works on is the majority of series 25 (some of the earlier ones sold had a smaller QR code that will not work).
@@construction_wolfoh ok!
Did someone tried in usa
The app is claimed to have the North America QR code data included too, so apparently works.
I use Cortex Scan in the US and it gave me all the codes
Does the app work on series 25?
Yes it usually does 👍 There were 2 sizes of QR code in series 25, with the older smaller ones not working. The newer QR codes were introduced early on in series 25, so most boxes should now work with the app.
It didn't work
That's a shame, I assume you found some in North America for sale early? Another person on here commented saying omgbricks app is another option to try and identify them.
Falcon bricks app works very well
In the USA use omgbricks. Bricksearch DOES NOT WORK. OMGBRICKS WORKS!!!
Have you scanned the big QR code or little QR code
Thank you for the information, I have not heard of OMGBRICKS 👍
Cortex Scan also works!

Damit >< Street dates!!
😂
Perfect review, I was looking for an app to identify these. Thanks.
Glad you found it useful 😀
once aftermarket plan on army building alien bug and ice planet. for reasons.
Sounds like you're working on quite a cool MOC maybe?
Great review! Anyone in the US check the closest Meijer, I was able to find them there a few days ago!
Thanks for posting that tip, hopefully it will help a few US viewers on here 😀
Is this only in Europe or do the QR codes also work in the US? Series 25 QR were hard to find even in the prepackaged box of six
From what I have heard the North America data is now uploaded to the app too, so it should work. Most of series 25 work with the app too, except for the earliest batch which had the older style smaller QR code.

THANK YOU
Glad you enjoyed the video 😀
Gosh I hope my Morrisons sells them still otherwise we go a long journey
Good luck, hope it works out for you 🤞
Damn... my local Morrisons is hopeless, very hit and miss to whether they stock the minifigures at all... that said, i'll have to have a look later on.
Good luck, hope you find some 😀🤞
lucky that your morrisons isnt still selling lego from december
I am not sure how much trouble Morrisons will get into with Lego over this. Seems to be a lot of stores across the UK have made this mistake.
Maybe this will stop people from ripping them open. I can see shops abusing this and taking all the good ones out of cases they sell.
The same system was in place for the majority of series 25. I generally think once the launch buzz died down it was not too hard to get the ones you wanted. It was kind of the same before with the bags where you could feel inside, although this method is much easier.
Morrisons here I come!!! Great review!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have success getting the minifigures too 😀
That facial hair ain't doing you any favors just shave
😂😂😂 I'm not sure what to really do long term, some like it and some do not.
HOW U GOT IT?
A few supermarkets in the UK accidentally put the minifigures out for sale early.
Not good serie, mistake new colour of classic spaceman. This serie look like the LEGO movie serie. I am sad, but happy. Dont spend money
I thought it was a pretty good series. You are right about there being no new colour spaceman, a missed opportunity by Lego.
