Haha that's the old school way... It reminds me of te first time I found Series 1 (in June 2010), and I would manually scan almost every figure at Toys'r'Us. They were only $2 then, and it only took me 2 days to get them all. Nowadays I just feel 'em, and I haven't got 1 wrong yet.
its just called barcode scanner, by "ZXing Team" But it only works for the minifig series with the barcode method (not the new braille system LEGO is using)
Ive done this before. It doesnt always work for certain products because the company making said mystery toy knows that people can do that so they make the skew numbers the same on all of them so its the same bar code. But I have experienced instances where it does work.
+Michael Ramirez wtf is wrong with you , he collects them not play , well im not sure if you have a life commenting those things and thinking that you've done alot in your life.. its his life not yours ... Absolutely disrespectful and disgusting
It's not illegal since the code is right there for anyone to see, it's basically telling you which minifig is in there but in a language you don't understand. But the shop might not like that you're only buying 3 or 4 instead of 20 because you really only want a few and not a ton of repeats.
Just A guy here Well, I think he meant the network speed... It indeed is an old Android phone and, consequently, mobile network speed wasn't as amazing as today's.
I do this by feeling the bags for familiar parts. Check the sheet of one you already opened (After purchase of course). I have collected a few series with no duplicates. But never knew an app like this existed at one point.
Buying things without knowing what youre buying is LITERALLY a form of gambling and technically is supposed to be illegal in most places, especially for children.
Super Abound they are not. And for a good reason. If they were, skittles and other random amount/random color products would all have to be regulated and illegalized in supermarkets. And them the only place you would be your skittles would be a casino. That is why they are not regulated or illegalized in most places.
jacob chakalaka "Minifig Collector" on Google Play... Shows all the minifigs from each series... the barcode scanner was linked only to minifigs, didn't show other stuff like a regular barcode scanner
I don't even collect Legos, nor know anything about them. I actually have not one reason why I'm here. But hell, I'll look smart af when someone needs info
This is great to do in the store to find mr gold or someone but at home it would just be faster to actually open them or maybe it’s just his internet connection
I can't do this because i connect to wifi if i go to official lego store i will not see the minifigure cause it requires internet connection and lego removed the bar code scanner

BrickRocker6783 ita a samsung
It's a first generation Motorola Droid... :-)
BrickSpy does the app still work?
BrickSpy what is the app called
Ari Buss is right, what is the app called?
I build them when they are in the bag and feel who it is
That must take a lot of talent to be able to do that... lol
Why not just feel them without building them?
You're a master blind pack builder
Jackthegamer123 u got them skill
Nice idea
For the year this video came out in, it actually has good video quality.
your phone looks so old
I know
This phone was SUPER old... but it was an old video... I've had 4 phones since this one... LOL
+Michael Ramirez wtf is wrong with you , he collects them not play , well im not sure if you have a life commenting those things and thinking that you've done alot in your life.. its his life not yours ... Absolutely disrespectful and disgusting
Salty
Michael Ramirez 4 sub's and you think you have accomplishes more than him?.......that's what I thought.
6 years later and you can definitely tell how far phones have come.
Lol true, it looks like a tiny 3ds screen lol
I can't believe they removed the bar code scanner
Johny1220 they did
Johny1220 ikr

Any 2020 people...

Like your own comment

GIVEAWAY! GIVEAWAY GIVE THE REST AWAY!
Wallee ok
It says the Mexican..., I need the Mariachi.... these guy is quite the Sherlock Holmes!
easy way to find mr gold
This only worked with series 1 & 2, but I thought about a metal detector for Mr Gold.. haha
Mr. Gold ... Was only in the name! There is no metal in "Mr. Gold", just gold colored plastic/paint.
thanks ivan for your captain obvious comment
Hey
IVAN IVONOVICH He was joking idiot..
It's not illegal since the code is right there for anyone to see, it's basically telling you which minifig is in there but in a language you don't understand.

I was just using the barcode reader app
Everytime i use this app it dont show what i will get,it only shows me the bag
Hopefully this’ll still work with the 2023 Marvel boxed figures!
That phone thoo
SK8ER DIE that 3g 😂😂
Stoned Assassin no it isn’t, it’s an old android phone
Just A guy here Well, I think he meant the network speed...
It indeed is an old Android phone and, consequently, mobile network speed wasn't as amazing as today's.
This video is 6 years old ;)
This came out 7 years ago bud
hehe, thanks! I'm visiting my mom right now, and my niece Chera tried to hold him and he got loose again, but I caught him... lol
2019 🙋🏿♀️
Me
Unfortunately the app doesn't do this anymore. It's just keeps track of the collection
it will be easy to find the one you want at the store
but if u dont have 4g or 3g
+Hendrik Aarma No you can just feel them watch my vids and be amazed LOL
***** lol does it work? Im gonna try it when i buy 1
+Hendrik Aarma well you have to be good with feeling which minifigure is in the pack and it's really hard
Dude thanks so much now I know how to look for
The ones I need 😄
Who 2019?
Me
2019 Is A Year.
Is it still available in the app store?
It's called lego collectors!!! But it cost $5.99 which really sucks a lot😪
Minifig Collector by Nic Jansma (on Google Play)
Ben Lawson mine costs 3.49
Ben Lawson i no a solution just get a barcode scanner from the google play store
I do this by feeling the bags for familiar parts. Check the sheet of one you already opened (After purchase of course). I have collected a few series with no duplicates. But never knew an app like this existed at one point.
Make a blog chanlle
THAT IS SOOOO COOL. I have to try that trick next time.
can I have the extras ?????
Uhm
No
No
No
No
Replay exactly at 7:41 and concentrate at the lego head falling down and directly hitting the table facing upward of the head, its so amazing(LOL) ;D
Just installed this and It seems that this app doesn't have the identifier function anymore
Yeah, LEGO changed their packaging by series 3, then went to a braille system so the scanner only works for series 1 & 2 :-(
+BrickSpy
Too bad, I was gonna use this with Lego NINJAGO seies :(
Can this app work for the halo mystery packs
BrickSpy does this works with movie minifgs
Brick spy I downloaded this and it doesn't have the scanner what other apps can I download to figure out which minifigure is it!?!
When he figured out it was the surfer.Hahaha
The one that you scanned in it did not show it must have been the gold man
gabriel Ybarra no because mr gold is part of series 10
Good Video!
It's not really cheating because most of them are worth the same amount you just get what you want
Well it's "cheating" the system because Lego makes them so you don't know what they are so you have to buy a ton to get what you want
Buying things without knowing what youre buying is LITERALLY a form of gambling and technically is supposed to be illegal in most places, especially for children.
Super Abound they are not. And for a good reason. If they were, skittles and other random amount/random color products would all have to be regulated and illegalized in supermarkets. And them the only place you would be your skittles would be a casino.
That is why they are not regulated or illegalized in most places.
Does this work now in 2022?
please just tell us what the app is called
Minifig Collector by Nic Jansma (on Google Play)
I have the skier but it didn't come with the skies also you could have a karate class with all of the karate kids nice video 😊👍👍
1:57 I’m dying
Can't you Gust feel around the packs for the minifigures?
Yes you can but some have exactly the same pieces just different printing
Got mine on Google Play, it's called "Minifig Collector" by Nic Jansma
Come on the app is just a bar scanner
jacob chakalaka "Minifig Collector" on Google Play... Shows all the minifigs from each series... the barcode scanner was linked only to minifigs, didn't show other stuff like a regular barcode scanner
+BrickSpy your cool but what ripe of app
Where I can find the barcode scanner
Definitely could've used this when i was looking for Mr. Gold.
that was really boring to look at.
I have some questions.
1.Am I allowed to do this at Walmart?
2.Can I do this with other blind bags/boxes?
What even is that phone
I only needed 3 minifigures to complete this series, but I did open a bunch of series two on a previous video.. :-)
what kind of app are you using
Minifig Collector by Nic Jansma (on Google Play)
ROBLOX roblox its a normal Barcode Scanner
Is there any Mr. Gold Left
What app is this
JS W read description
Qr code reader

Minifig collector
Minifig collector
Who else wish they had this 10 years ago
Kinda slow, easier to feel the bag.
That’s actually really cool
Should have just opend them
Then I wouldn't have had such a popular video, everyone seems to love the app... LOL
LOL! Thanks for replying to me by the way : ]
New way to
GET A BETTER PHONE
No offense, but you take lego WAY too seriously.
look up mr.gold scandal
Love that Wisconsin accent. The “beag”
Would this work with lego mario blind bags?
Way easier to just feel the bags. Sometimes the simplest method is the best.
Its amazing how shotty and slow phones were when this was made
Wonder if this works on the new unikitty minifigures blind bags when they come out?
Cool video,hate the karate kid,finally the skier
What does the app icon look like?
If I got a dollar every time you said "skier" I'd be a millionaire...
I was like what the heck is that ancient thing but I remembered it's from 2012
I love you're cheesey laugh
Does it work with the collectible minifigures of lego ninjago movie?
Dad why is the fbi here😂😂
The OG Motola Droid? I miss that phone.
it has a yellow Background with white text that reads MFC right?
what's that thing you used with your phone to tell which figure it is?
I downloaded an app called "Minifig Collector" by Nic Jansma (on Google Play) but it only worked on series 1 & 2 minifigures...
So what was in the bags that didn't a result?
I don't even collect Legos, nor know anything about them. I actually have not one reason why I'm here. But hell, I'll look smart af when someone needs info
Hi mate, can you do that with the 2023 series?
where did you get that box of minifigures from? please reply.
would this work with a normal barcode scanner?
It only works with the older minifigs that had a different barcode to identify the minifig inside... now they use the braille method :-(
What app are u using
Also is it there on apple
Brick Spy you helped us all!
This would be been so much more helpful if I found this when it came out
It's just the barcode reader app, but it only works on the older minifigs before the braille method... :-(
That giggle tho
Hi... which Scanner app do you use?
I remember finding this when I was 7 when series 3 was out and asking my mom when we went to Walmart for her phone 😂😂
This is great to do in the store to find mr gold or someone but at home it would just be faster to actually open them or maybe it’s just his internet connection
Does it work on the harry potter minifigur serie
I can't do this because i connect to wifi if i go to official lego store i will not see the minifigure cause it requires internet connection and lego removed the bar code scanner
so... uh i heard that you had too many karate kids, Well it just so happens that i need more karate kids ;)
i tryed with a series 7 one with a bar code scanner and it did not work
what program on ur phone do u use to do that
That's a cool system actually.
how did you get that whole box of minifigures
so why not do this in the store? instead of buying all the ones you dont need?
You know. If you don't want all the karate figures then you should Karate Chop them all
Love this its a money saver!!
