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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
whats awesome about the Paralympic winner is that you get both left and right legs so if your are missing one or the other yourself you can create yourself in lego by adding a "normal" leg to whatever side
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
I like the red herring Lego put in the Film Noir Detective. The question is, was the red herring's distraction enough for the criminal to escape, or did he accidently leave more evidence to help the detective track him down? 🤔
I only wanted the dinosaur suit and vampire knight from this series. The QR codes work, but there are two different types of code for Europe and America... i accidentally had the lists for US codes (in Uk), So got the Pet groomer first, as the US code for that is same as EU code for Vamp Knight (I know right?... confusing).
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!!!
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
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.
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
@@sarahschwister4852 no I did voice to text I’m on was on my lunch break at work so I just sat in my car, eating my peanut butter and just did voice to text
Ideas for names: Weight lifter - Ella (she could be the sister of Bella the referee of 24-ville, they both do sports) Gamer girl - Jaden or Nova Train kid - Thomas or Fred Detective - Henry Harpy - Trixie ('cause it is a girl, if you look for details) Batlord - Drak (from Drakula) Dog groomer - Ana Dino dude - Brad Red haired girl - Valerie Mushroom girl - Mushelle Goat man - Gerald Athlete - Gary I hope you liked some of my ideas, I can't wait for 25-ville
I said this in the last video, so ima just copy and paste it: You could make the series about cloning 🤔 So the series will be like this 22-fun 23-evil 24-time travel 25-clones
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! 😊
I had 100% accuracy from going to Lego store, and finding a complete box, the figures are in sets of three ,so three boxes next to each other in straight line are the same figure
IMPORTANT you can scan the big qr codes on the boxes, they will reveal a number that corresponds to a minifigure. R = Mexico, which should apply to minifigures sold in the USA, Canada and possibly Latin/South America. S = Czech Republic, which should apply to minifigures sold in the UK, EU.

Think the series 25 prequel becuse too many minifigs look like they are realeted like we can see who was owning the muushroom tree or the paralecset minifig (Perry) could be the Terry better cusion and the dinousour guy maybe realated to the dragon girl ( i forgot her name) maybe the dino guy its the drogon girl s uncle
I was really lucky when picking up the boxes because I managed to get six boxes none duplicates and I guess a little ironically the second one I opened was the one you were missing
I once went to a Walmart with my nephew to get him a lego minifig but someone opened them in the store leaving just the basses for the figs under the shelves
Two years ago I went to a local Lego shop as I had a dentist appointment before school and my mum got me and my two brothers a Lego mini figure each (this was series 22) And the employees had several boxes hidden in a locked cupboard that had all of the figures there (they where still in the bag ) That is how I got the robot repair tech
Where are you finding mini figures at? I have checked the local Walmart, Target, and Meijer. I found only some at Meijer a week ago, and have had no luck since then in the past few weeks
I'm shocked you have found Minifigs at Target, I've never seen them there. The only store in my area I've seen them is WalMart and now that they lock up all Lego, you have to wait 20 minutes or so for an employee to show up to open the case and then you just have to grab what you want quickly and off they go, so no trying to figure out what is inside using any method.
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.
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.
For the muscle girl you should make her the villain of 25-ville and all the duplicates her minions
And she gets a device that clones people and all her minions are the duplicates he got
I can’t even lie that kinda somewhat predictied the 24-ville finale with the rocking horse girl
YEEEESSSSS!!!

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.
25 vill
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
And it only works for the larger codes.
If you find a new box in store. Pick 12 different codes for example 432S3, 134S3 and so forth. You should be fine
@@JCGold98 It was only the early production runs that had the smaller codes. From now going forward, it'll all be the bigger codes.
The QR code scan is 100% accurate with the larger data matrix, so 100% the best way to identify figures now.
Can you point us to said app and guide, please and thank you.
You should name the Paralympic Minifigure PERRY
A Paralympian? PERRY THE PARALYMPIAN??
OMG yes
YES!
This comment here ^ . Just perfection.
Or Harry
Name him Garry,you remember when that random guy typed Garry instead of Terry it was the new athlete!😂
I had the same idea

Ya Garry,Garry,Garry,Garry,Garry.
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.
Perry must be his name
It isnt illegal to see how much a product weighs, its like you precisely calculating how many you can carry if you stole them.
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.
For the duplicates, you should make it where they are clones or something. So they don’t go to waste.
Cool idea
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.
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
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.

JERRY THE PARALYMPIC CHAMPION!!!!!!

Wow 75 dollars for 15 duplicates 😮😮😮
This is the reason Lego put them in boxes just so they can make more money! Bloody greedy they are!
😂😂😂
@@halfshadowzero5776 The solution is simple, buy the figures you want, do not buy random packs. Do not reward wrong practices with money.
Each minifigure cost $5 cuz if you do five times 15 you get 75.

25 ville’s story should be based around how clones are all taking over.

The new one have qr codes at the bottom that tell you who you are getting it is not a myth the small ones don't work but the big ones do
don't feel bad i don't get them but other kids might. they can just go to a different store right, also Jerry

Since you finished 24 ville do the sprinter first and make the 22-24 ville citizens watch the race
