Such a fab set of minifigures, I particularly love the ones which are a tribute to old retired themes from my childhood. It's great that we have these apps to track down the figures we want too, it would be very frustrating (and expensive!) getting lots of doubles you don't want.
It certainly is a useful app, I was in my local B&M store a few months ago and there was a bloke with his son looking at the series 25 minifigures. The son was getting a couple of the figures and I heard him say to his dad that he hopes he doesn’t get ones he’s already got, I said to the dad I’ve got an app on my phone that will tell you what’s in there, when. I scanned them the dad said he would have to get the app as it’s very useful. As good as the app is and it probably tells you faster than feeling the foil pack, especially as I’m not very good at working out the different pieces, I do miss the that part of finding the minifigures you want.
@@iainsbricks, in most CMF series I find more than half don’t really appeal to me. Sometimes there are torso prints I like or hair pieces I might use but in this series I don’t really see much of that. The one torso piece in this series I quite like and would reuse in making a custom minifigure is the alien tourist, the only trouble is the dual moulded arms with the grey lower half would spoil the use with a custom. I know I could remove the arms and replace with plain yellow but then you lose the arm printing for the shirt sleeve.
Great to see that those codes also work for series 26. I am surprised though, I would have expected Lego to remove them after Series 25. Did they put the code on purpose to prevent people from tearing up the boxes in stores? Just as technical side note, the codes on the mini figures are actually not QR codes, these are Data Matrix codes.
I thought Lego may have removed them as well, however as you said, so many people were ripping the Marvel boxes apart that I suspect that is the reason the sets can now be identified by the scan codes.
Once you have the Brick Search app downloaded, click on the camera icon on the bottom middle of the main page, and you will be able to scan the QR code from there
Is there a way to identify them by the numbers next to the data matrix code or are they random? I tried using the scanner in store but it was so slow a staff member was wondering what I was doing I’m only looking the Orion from this set before the D&D series comes out
Great video l am a big fan of classic space iain did you find the space minifigures on build a minifigure there are 2 modern torsos from space sets this year and a torso with nod to Classic Space fans will immediately recognise the diagonal line as a nod to Space Police 1 and Futuron uniforms! It’s a really cool modern twist on these iconic uniforms, and something that Classic Space fans will enjoy.Hope you pick some up and review soon?
For me, I just like the plain classic space torsos, which is why I like the space babies. Apparently there is a fan vote coming up soon to choose the colour of the next classic spaceman colour, to go in the new ideas gumball machine.
@@iainsbricks 40715 got a new spacewoman in it and I think teal would be a great colour with a new colour space baby as well, what's your thoughts please? And the 60441 pack looks good if you haven't picked up any of the new lego city space sets yet.
I only wanted all the purple bug one. Didn’t get any out of 7 I bought. Luckily we have a good mini fig trade group here in the States. Tried to scan the ones I found in Walmart and it wouldn’t work.
@@garethsmith2250 It's only 6 days into release of these figures so very much early days for availability. Remember the frenzy for the Brown Astronaut and space baby in series 24? They were nearly impossible to get hold of to start with, but I'm still finding them even as recently as February this year...
Great video, but far too much work for me and in all fairness not my cup of tea … prefer sealed boxes sets!! 😂 Quick update on Milton Keynes Brick Festival, I decided not to go in the end but the people who I sell at these events with did … it wasn’t great mate, no backing tables as we knew, but all the tables were so close together, middle of a shopping centre … with an actual LEGO store nearby, not many sales on the day due to none LEGO people entering it, even if they did pay for a ticket and all in all pretty shite is my impression!! It returns there in September, so give it a wide birth would be my advice!! 👍
Hi Lee. I quite like some of the minifigures, but always hated the blind bags in the past. Glad you can find out what's inside now. I've seen a few messages in Hillians Bricks Discord channel about the MK event today. I'm not booked in for September, so will avoid
@@leeshurmer7063 Yes, so there were at least 2 other Discord people selling at the MK event today and they were sharing pictures and giving regular updates. Seems it went OK in the end. Not the greatest sales wise, but definitely not the worst.
@@iainsbricks Interesting!! I’m glad I stayed away, they sold sets for me so I’m thankfully to earn money whilst staying at home … but due to the lack of space I only gave them 20 sets to sell as well as there stuff!! Roll on Birmingham next month!!

Yes, there are some good figures on the latest minifigures series.
Nothing worse then getting lots of doubles of the same figure
Thanks very much, exactly what I was looking for!
@@lewood85 fantastic. Hope you can get the app to work for you.
Amazing info!! Thank you so much
Thanks for watching.

Hi Barry.
Yes, the app is very useful.
I never bought many figs when it was foil pack. Much prefer it now they have scannable boxes.
Thanks Ian!
Please keep the videos coming.
Matt from Dorset 👍
Will do, Matt.
Bricksearch is great, I think I must be one of the few people who think that these are rubbish compared to other series.
No you’re not the only one, the figures in this series really don’t appeal to me either.
I quite like a few of the figs, but some are awful
There are a few I like, but the other half are rubbish

I just got the app but can only scan the bar code. No option for the QR code. Help please !!
Once you have the Brick Search app downloaded, click on the camera icon on the bottom middle of the main page, and you will be able to scan the QR code from there
@@iainsbricks thank you. But I only have the bar code scanner available. Not the QR.
@@bemo4313 The scanner will work on both the barcode and the qr code. Just cover over the barcode and scan the qr code section
Everyone wants the pink space baby 👶🚀
They certainly do
This video is very helpful!
Thanks for watching
Is there a way to identify them by the numbers next to the data matrix code or are they random? I tried using the scanner in store but it was so slow a staff member was wondering what I was doing I’m only looking the Orion from this set before the D&D series comes out
@@FryFlyful There may be, but I'm afraid I don't know if there is.
You have earned the sub man 👍
Thank you. Much appreciated
Is there still a way to do this? When i tried to scan, it went straight to scan barcode rather than letting me pick which one.
You have to scan the square qr code and the app will tell you which set is inside
@@iainsbricks thank you!
This app is insane, but thank you! ❤
Cheers
Thanks
Thanks for watching. I hope it worked for you.
Thank you

@@user-tl2hm6ld7i I'm not sure which colour spaceman I would like to see next - possible a light blue or maybe a tan colour

That's a shame. Did the ones you tried to scan have a small qr code?
@@iainsbricks yes it just didn’t work. Tried the trouble shoot but still didn’t work. But I got a few good ones. Just not the bug!!
It works on the big QR codes
You will do anything to get your Space Babies!!
I love space babies, but not in the Gary Glitter sense! 😬
Very hard to find the space babies I wonder why...
@@garethsmith2250 Apart from the 5 that I got from the Lego store, I haven't been able to find any more ☹️
@@iainsbricks only 5

We use an otoscope and see what's inside! ;-)
Unfortunately doesnt work with last years Marvel Series 2 even while they also got some sort of QR codes
No, unfortunately not on the Marvel ones
I scanned, it said "its a minifigur" riht but couldnt say which one it is, and could show any picture :(
Sounds like you may have scanned the barcode rather than the QR code.
@@iainsbricks no i tried both of them, actually qr code initially. All numbers around barcode and qr code are different then shown in this video
@@persefer not sure why it didnwork then I'm afraid. Maybe report it to Bricksearch?
@@iainsbricks my Qr code has S letter. İ learnt that it should have R
The app no longer has a QR code option?
