LEGO Minifigures Series 25 Unboxing: NO MORE DUPLICATES 😭

In this video, I talk about different strategies to avoid duplicates when unboxing the new LEGO series 25 minifigures CMF... and now my collection is FINALLY complete! Do you think weighing, comparing QR codes, or using an ear canal camera is the best way to find the ones you want? Comment below!

OMG yes

YES!

Or Harry

[@user-qo2ku7fx2y]

Name him Garry,you remember when that random guy typed Garry instead of Terry it was the new athlete!😂

[@kathleenmoseman5238]

I had the same idea

[@DUCKSQUAD3880]

For the muscle girl you should make her the villain of 25-ville and all the duplicates her minions

[@Spikey_Spike]

As someone who constantly felt up each bag to get the characters I want, I'm sad that they moved to boxes. But the QR code thing might be helpful unless they change that in future series.

[@melanierodgers2458]

[@mikkelhansen7445]

The most annoying part about this series for me is not duplicates it's the fact that it isn't out in my local toy store yet, and I am actually from Denmark.

[@drzander3378]

If only LEGO were a Danish company! :~P I’m from the UK and used to have a similar issue with Games Workshop (Warhammer). I once found a full priced set in Tokyo that was cheaper than in the UK where it was manufactured :~O

It hasn't been introduced yet

[@gamerboyelg1688]

Same im also from Denmark and its not out its so annoying

[@Henrytudordeepfakes]

Same in america

[@theboredbrickbuilder4130]

The thing on the bottom isn't actually a QR code it's a data Matrix code. and if you download an app that can scan data Matrix code and and find a guide that tells you the correct numbers it's way more accurate

[@JCGold98]

And it only works for the larger codes.

[@AFFI909]

If you find a new box in store. Pick 12 different codes for example 432S3, 134S3 and so forth. You should be fine

[@johnwhitehouse4546]

@@JCGold98 It was only the early production runs that had the smaller codes. From now going forward, it'll all be the bigger codes.

[@johnwhitehouse4546]

The QR code scan is 100% accurate with the larger data matrix, so 100% the best way to identify figures now.

[@chwenhoou]

Can you point us to said app and guide, please and thank you.

[@GodsPoisonSamael]

I have all of them but the barbarian woman and the harpie, the goat herder and muahroom sprite in triplet and doubles of the gym girl and triceratops guy. Love the Vampire Knight and Noir detective.

For the duplicates, you should make it where they are clones or something. So they don’t go to waste.

Name suggestion for the mushroom girl minifigure: Susie or Angel, and name the paralympic athlete PERRY

[@francisbaxter4663]

You should name him Perry!!! “Perry the platypus!”

[@TheOneTrueJordan]

I'm so glad to see someone else bringing up this issue. So many people are just ignoring that this is a problem and it's quite irritating. I've also head of people getting kicked out of stores for using scales. So thats another issue with it too.

[@lailahassan3]

Perry must be his name

[@AdamThygerson-lm1gt]

It isnt illegal to see how much a product weighs, its like you precisely calculating how many you can carry if you stole them.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

It is not the fault of the consumer that the company uses the wrong kind of packaging and a random blind method to sell different kind of products. I am willing to pay 4 euros for a medieval figure with accessories, I am not willing to pay anything for taking on excess figures that I do not want, nor need. They are selling 25 completely different products, which appeal to different buyers, with the sole exception of collectors that want the whole set. Nobody benefits from random blind packaging, it is wasteful and wrong.

[@kaizerthegreat678]

Wow 75 dollars for 15 duplicates 😮😮😮

[@halfshadowzero5776]

This is the reason Lego put them in boxes just so they can make more money! Bloody greedy they are!

[@leahmmckee]

😂😂😂

[@pinobluevogel6458]

@@halfshadowzero5776 The solution is simple, buy the figures you want, do not buy random packs. Do not reward wrong practices with money.

[@Lego.art.master.2]

Each minifigure cost $5 cuz if you do five times 15 you get 75.

[@EmersonWestlund-dg5xv]

Name suggestions. Harpy : Jared. Barbarian : Judy. Gamer : May. Groomer : Shedzu (reference to a shitzu, a type of dog). Paralympic : Sorry (agreeing with teddymayhem). Detective : Murphy. Weightlifter : Myla. Train : Pat. Mushroom : Carly. Bat : Drac. Goatguy : Jesus. Triceratops : PreMaria.

[@EmersonWestlund-dg5xv]

And yes, Drac is a reference to Dracula and premaria bsong the PREhistoric version of someone named Maria.

[@A..D..D]

Just at Walmart and the rack of blind boxes , almost every single one was popped already , so I just looked in and got what I wanted

[@HybrydATP64]

Apparently if you use an app that can read those codes it’ll give you a serial number and there’s guides online that have the serial number and the minifigure it belongs to

[@Catokitt]

At some Lego stores they have a figure trade in, so if you get a duplicate or a figure you don't want you go to the trade in stand and trade your figure for a different one. I'm glad that they have this now that they're in boxes. Does anyone else have a figure trade in stand at their local Lego store?

[@bionicleboy9]

Mine does! A huge life saver when it came to the marvel cmf series 2

Hey The B2, I have an idea! Maybe the mushroom kid can be the kid of the Forest Elf. And the Triceratops guy can be the brother of Diego!

[@huseyinaltinisik1550]

Maybe She was the Buffshroom Cuz Elwood Wanted Elf from Suzie

[@huseyinaltinisik1550]

İ meant Wanted Help from suzie

[@ForestElfLego]

The Paralympic is Terry’s son, and since the mushroom kid is related to the Forest elf, he attempts to eliminate the old series 22 characters as revenge for his DAD!!!

[@charissenortje5531]

I have the dog groomer, the mushroom sprite and the gamer girl so far 😁 And I've just ordered the series 22 forest elf so that he and the mushroom sprite can be twin brother and sister! 😊

[@DEMO_3344]

Idea for the paralympic guy: Larry

[@maskedbananavr910]

My idea for the paralympic racer is a running track that goes around the hole city and he has his house beside the track. Thats a cool idea

[@TI6he]

The shepherd guy reminds me of the series 22 horse and groom 😂

[@JoannaAgent3]

I feel like the Paralympic should be named Gary. In the 22-ville finale, Terry said “Wait did someone say Gary?”. So I thought it would be a cool reference. Gary could either be as evil as Terry or the opposite. My head canon is that he was actually friends with Terry until he realized their friendship was a fraud, and he is extremely mad at him for what he did in 22-ville. I heard a lot of other people saying Larry which is also a good name for him.

[@ZeBruv]

Name him Larry, this name is associated with good luck and being not magically poofed by arrows or zap or firecracker - you name it

The smaller ones were made before they implemented this system

[@lego4virgo]

so far using a qr code scanner i have had 100 percent accuracy, you cant go by the 5 numbers/letters under the qr code, and the QR code has to be the bigger one, but besides those two things ive had no issue with scanning

[@johnwhitehouse4546]

The 5 letter code was only useful when weighing as if you had 2 of a similar weight, but different codes, they'd be different figures. As you say though, the current QR/Data Matrix code scan has proven to be 100% accurate.

[@Misterkill800]

QR codes, do you scan it or just look at it?

[@princezsshorts3209]

[@pinobluevogel6458]

The issue is not with people trying to game the system by finding out which figure is in the packaging, the issue is that they are random and blind at all. For a set that is most used to armybuild with certain figures, the immense overproduction of about 22 of them is very wasteful and also bothers collectors trying to complete a set. Print to demand is certainly what they should do. They could use open blister style packaging which allows you to see through it, or it could also be done selling each figure directly through their website or the lego stores themselves. It doesn't make sense for a company that prides itself for accessibility and quality, that they are so wasteful and not accept the reality of the situation that certain figures are much higher in demand, essentially overprinting some and severaly underprinting others. While they are at it, it could also be an excellent way to reintroduce older minifigures through their website. Some of them like the bear knight or the raven knight have gone up to 20 to 30 dollars, which is a completely unreasonable pricepoint and people still need them. For every castle fan that joins the Lego community, there are at least a few more needed, possibly hundreds of them if they decide to armybuild.

[@OrbitFox2010]

The barcode definitely works me and my mom got the train kit and mushroom girl minifigures by scanning the QR code

[@SawBSketch]

I am not physically Challenged, But it still makes me extremely happy that Lego has such a diverse cast of figures. From Wheelchair users to prostetics and such. It really gives a feeling of everyone being seen as people, and everyone can have a figure they can see themselves in.

[@tompatchak8706]

With the marvel in the last Disney series, I got super lucky and got to a cold store when they just had opened a case of them so I grabbed 12 random and was able to get the whole set into trips. The first trip was 12 randoms and I had two duplicates the second trip I got five and finished it out with this. I haven’t been able to find a Kohl’s store that has a case out yet I did find some at Walmart and bought five and I got one duplicate. I don’t do the scale method. It just is weird I don’t do the numbers on the back method because those aren’t always correct. I worked in production and sometimes the numbers from different buildings are different even though it’s the same product. So I’m gonna do it old-school, and just do blind boxes and buy some if I have duplicates that go in my bin of extras if I don’t go on the shelf. If there are certain ones that I really really want I’ll make sure I’ll do eBay and pay a couple extra dollars just so I know I get the right one

7:45 Lol, i did not expect you to aggressively flick her away like that. Best part of the video. I usually don't like these, as the minifigs are waaay too obnoxious and overdetailed (that harpy is such wasted potential, should've just been yellow with brown wings and legs), but Basil is the most perfect modern minifig i've ever seen. PERFECT mix of a more simplistic style and more modern detail. The helmet is a bit disappointing, but oh well. The paralympic stuff is just silly and pointless, and i say that as someone who's missing a limb. I'll take hooks and peglegs over insulting pandering or "inclusivity" any day. So lame, quite literally in this case. :) The musclegirl also seems like pointless pandering to current beliefs, but i like the print. It's not too much, although the accessories barely look like lego. If it wasn't for the "sport" print on the torso it could've been quite versatile (like a barbarian or something), although bright pink might be a bit too much for non-modern builds. Still, not bad.
