There has been a LOT of confusion about this, mostly due to an article shared by The Brick Fan on the potential that these codes will tell you what character is in the box. ❌ UNRELIABLE: Using codes found on the box Beast has many small elements in the box, and will rattle and shake a lot louder than She-hulk. You could take a 50-50 shot, but I recommend shaking the box to tell these two apart. The only potentially tricky one is She-Hulk and Beast, who both weigh approximately 19.0g each. It was great to see Ashnflash test out my guide, and from his results, it was fairly reliable, and I stand by my results. Important note: The weight of the cardboard boxes are variable, and they’re not 100% consistent, so you’ll need to match the weight to the numbers I shared in the guide. The variances between some minifigures are incredibly minute, with milligrams being the difference between some characters, so you’ll need a sensitive scale, an d regular kitchen scales might not be up to the task. I used this one that I got from Amazon Australia, and there are similar alternatives from as well. You’ll need a precision scale for this, preferably one that can measure milligrams. With no identifying codes or markings, this is the closest thing you’ll get to determining what minifigures are in the blind boxes, without having to open them, and a method which I highly recommend using. I’ve shared the above diagram which are my findings (averaged across all blind boxes) of the weights of each minifigure in their blind boxes. ✅ CONFIRMED: Using weight guides to determine what minifigures are in boxes Unfortunately, this box order method is no longer reliable as I and others have independently confirmed that boxes are now jumbled randomly, and their positions will not tell you what’s in it.īe careful of seeing photos of people sharing their box orders and trying to copy them as it’s most likely to not be reliable. These were fairly reliable (although not 100% as blind bags can move and shift around) and proved useful for fans to hunt down their desired LEGO Minifigures and confirm via the feel method. Previous LEGO Minifigures series had more or less pre-determined positions in each box, which gave the rise to Box Order guides. ❌ DEBUNKED: You can identify minifigures based on their location in the box Most LEGO fan media who have received early boxes, including yours truly have confirmed that their boxes included 3 complete sets, so this makes it easy for you to split complete boxes with your friends and guarantee getting a full sets of Marvel Series 2.ĭo note that there are rare instances where LEGO’s packing gets this wrong, and boxes end up jumbled, but it is reliable most of the time. ✅ CONFIRMED: There are 3 complete sets in each sealed box – Here is everything we know about LEGO Marvel Minifigures Series 2.
