LEGO Minifigures Series 26 Space - Review and Identifying Using QR Codes

I got very lucky and managed to get the new LEGO Minifigures Series 26 over a week before release date! I look at how you can easily identify what is in the box using an app to scan the QR code. I then take a detailed look at all 12 minifigures in the series. Let me know in the comments below which ones are your favourites.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 😀
