These are good points and I totally agree that there is joy in opening something and not knowing what your getting. I have mixed feelings though. I would like everybody to have the opportunity to be able to get what they want without spending more than they want. Personally, I would like these to be packaged in clear plastic like a Hot Wheels car. This way you know what your getting and can still have fun searching store to store to get that figure you want. Imagine walking down the store aisle and seeing the Goliath that you REALLY want staring back at you. Thanks for your comment!

@@thegreenbrick That's an interesting take on packaging the CMFs like Hot Wheels. The way I look at it is that your standard Lego sets are like your regular Hot Wheels. You know exactly what you're gonna get in each box. But even Hot Wheels does blind boxes/bags. The fun is always in the mystery.

Which would be great if I knew people that also collected these and could trade... *sigh* And you really need several people to have the best chance, and even then you seem to still wind up with dupes. As a kid, I did trading cards and traded with my friends from school. I had a lot of classmates, but always managed to still wind up with dupes and missing ones I wanted. So in theory I would say it sounds good, but in practice it doesn't quite work 100%.

Lego could have put a hidden code on the box, something the fans have to work together on to figure out, this way those people who don't care could just get a random minifig and the others could get what they want... but they didn't (they even removed a code like that in the past). If this was about trading, they could easily do some type of mini event in the store to allow people who live in the same city to come together on a specific day to trade (similar to what they do with the e.g. Halloween events) and maybe pick up another set too. But they haven't done this either. Sadly it looks like it's all about money, about selling more of the boxes to people who were disappointed by what they got or kids who just want the new thing and then get upset that they got three Wolverines. For me, feeling the bags to get what I wanted was fun. Spending $5 on a minifig (which is awfully overpriced to begin with) and then getting something I don't like, isn't - that's just a lootbox (or better: gambling for kids) and I don't do that.

Actually, after watching the entire video, wasn't each one of those a separate number? Did you verify that the numbers on the bottom can be the same for multiple figure types? Or are all figures under the same number going to be the same?

@@pacerdawn5512 So there’s not much consistency with the numbers, but here is what I conclude from the 5 digit code. If the code is the same, you AREN’T guaranteed the same figure (that’s when the weight is crucial and the 6 digit code may help distinguish a different figure). If the 5 digit code is different, you ARE guaranteed to have a different figure. Confusing huh? I had a few different figures with the same 5 digit code. Out of the dozens that were available to me at the store, I only found about 10 different codes.

​@@thegreenbrick I want to know what is the code for Agatha. The video was too fast when it showed the box. I want to write it and maybe find it at Walmart and Target.

@@josephnieves2447 I would love to, but the codes are different with each batch. My numbers will be different from yours. However, Agatha is the easiest to find when you have a scale as she is the heaviest at 21.9 grams. Yeah, unfortunately you need an accurate pocket scale to weigh these to get what you want.

The box is real thin i saw people tearing tgem open just to peek at who the character is

It’s a Cen-Tech 1000 gram digital scale item 60332. I bought it from Harbor Freight.

I’m part of the “LEGO Insiders” program. Im just kidding. A local Target store put them out early.

@@thegreenbrickwhere?

@@sneijder2549 Houston, Texas

@@thegreenbrickOh for real. You mind if I ask which one? I live in Houston and would really like to get my hands of some.

@@the_belugaluga5286 Sure. Could you email me at thegreenbrick4real@gmail.com and I’ll give you all of the details.

The codes vary. The one thing that is consistent is the weight. Moon Knight weighs 19.4 grams.
