I saw a post about this yesterday in Lego Minifigure Fanatics regarding the number that is on each of the instructions leaflets included with these figures.  I am not talking about the online game code, but rather a number from 1-32 that is included on each of the instruction books that come with the minifigures.  The number is in the upper right hand corner of each instruction booklet.

I have a interesting story about the series 15 figures that I will share below, but when I saw this post, I had not yet opened this set of figures yet, but I had them in a box under my desk.  So this morning, I pulled them out and started to open them all up.  Now I have about 25 figures, so I figured I had a good test bed to decide if the numbers were consistent.

So I opened up all of the figures and I was able to determine that each figure has a unique number and that the numbers are at least consistent in the US as the numbers were identical and I picked up the duplicates for these figures at multiple different stores.

I started poking around and I could only find a few images on the internet of any of the numbers on instructions and  most of them matched what I had found in the picture above and the ones below.  However, this one pic over here has a 14 on it.   But it is also written in German as well.  So maybe that is why it is different?  It is also definitely a different pamphlet than the one that came in my figures.

So before my thought, I will tell you my story about collecting these figures.

I usually just go to ebay and pay $65 including shipping for these figures.    The reason for this is simple.  when I go to the store, it takes me forever to figure out which figure is in each bag and they are always picked over.  I also end up getting extra copies of some of the figures that I do not need and it takes forever.   Did I mention that?

So as per the norm, I went on to ebay a few weeks ago and they prices were crazy.  So I figured I would just wait a little longer., but they just were not showing up at reasonable prices.  Well, last week I found myself at the NorthBrook Illinois Lego store at lunch and I was the only customer at the store.  I had gone to the mall with a co-worked and they were picking up their glasses.  And I had a bunch of time.

I eventually saw the Series 15 figures and a box of packets.  I asked the clerk if they had been picked over and he assured me that they had already been picked over.  In fact, he went so far as to say that they were the what was left of a few boxes of figures, so my hopes were pretty low.

The funny part was that he stood their and helped me pick out the figures.  In the end, we were able to find one complete set in the box and I was able to get two Ballerinas.  They funny part was that I actually found a shark.  Those are impossible to find anywhere!

Finally, one thing that I notices is that the figures are easier to figure out when you have a set on display like they do in the Lego store.

Here are the individual figures with the codes.

really hard to find and striped arms.  Multicolored legs.

My mop stuck just fine on both of the figures that I picked up.  I have heard people complaining about this.  Multi colored arms.

blue hands! and a soft sword.

Nice figure, but nothing special.

Where am I goign to store these swords.  They hide the mask.

Multi colored arms and one multi colored leg.  This may be a first.

Get as many as you can of this figure.  An army of Shark Men!

Nothing Special

The printing on this guy is superb!

The legs and that hair piece.  This will be a favorite.

Definitely a keeper.  My figure matched in color pretty well.

Go buy all of the Ballerinas.  This is the best girl figure that I have ever seen lego produce.

I was a little dissapointed in the baby.  I am looking forward to the new one.

Waste of a figure.  Unless I need a new fave on Cat Woman.

The skunk and the net are awesome.

I absolutely love the Queen.

Thanks for looking
