But I know many out there are embarrassed to cop a feel on their minifigure packaging while in store and do prefer the 'bump code' method. I can't speak to it's accuracy as I have never used it myself, but as a public service I decided to post the codes for the Series 9 Minifigures I acquired. I darkened the bumps with a sharpie so you can see them better in the photographs:
Again, I prefer the squeeze method and can attest to it's accuracy, but you have to be patient and know what you are squeezing for:
Cyclops: Feel for the large head (confirm by feeling the horn on top) and confirm/feel for the spiky club.
Jekyll/Hyde: Feel for the tophat and confirm by feeling for the vial.
Derby Girl: Feel for those tiny skates and confirm by feeling the smooth helmet (haha dirty!)
Chicken Suit Guy: Feel for the chicken head (the beak is a giveaway but don't confuse it with the Cyclops horn!) and confirm by feeling for those unique wings/arms.
Good luck!
I find the sharpie mark the best method (not on the black packs tho). I would grab say 10 mark em up at the store and start seeing all the differences. Sharpie wipes off too. Also that number code is important, to make sure that matches on all of them cause they do change a bit, from my times.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! I put one up yesterday on my blog. I got the cop, the senator, and the sace suit dude. I deaf want the ones you got! Is it ok if 31 year feels up toys at the store? Lol
