It's an Afghan. The other problem with the boxes is I think people are gluing the boxes back if the figures are not the one people want

When Ross and Emily say "boo" to something Lego does, you know it's bad!!

Lego screwed up with boxed minifigs. I always see these boxes ripped open and pieces stolen or missing. Bring back polybags!

FYI those aren’t QR codes, they’re actually called data matrix codes. They include codes for production info of products including codes identifying where they were produced, batch numbers, dates of production, etc. I bought a full case of 36 towards the end of December and helped with some of the people on Reddit that originally identified the different codes and box distribution orders. Each case of 36 comes with 3 full sets of 12, and it’s honestly way easier just buying a full case now with the boxes, I opened a set, sold a full set to a friend, and still have a full set sealed. I’m only buying full cases from now on with these boxes!

14:09 I really empathize with Ross here 😅 I had also gotten really good at feeling through the CMF bags over the course of 10 or so years, but now it’s literally the “years of academy training wasted!” meme 😂😭

If you are still wanting scales you probably want to look for precision scales as they have like 2 or 3 decimal points

Love the minifigure hunt. Amazing seeing the other sets on the way

“The Nobes”, ACOB culture is real

We say THE NOBES every week on ACOB. I don’t know who else is doing it, but glad it’s a thing. 😂

Ross droppin' that ACOB slang heat. Let's GO

I'm using extra Dinos around the city as 'advertisements' for the new Natural History Museum

Haha I love how you called it the Nobes 😅 and I found exactly one CMF at my local Target on 12/31. It was on a random shelf in the clearance toy aisle, unopened surprisingly. So I got very lucky! I went to the Lego aisle to see if there were more and they had a large yellow box of CMF, completely empty. Wish they were easier to find! Also yes boooo boxes 😮 I love how your Lego store offers the trading program!

On Target carrying the CMF’s- last Thursday my local Target (Pennsylvania) had their front registers fully stocked with Series 25. I grabbed 6 of them at random (hoping I’d get at least one Goat).. and ended up getting 3 of the Goatherds. 😮

They have to stop with the boxes it will cost them in the long run. damage and theft, thank you both for another great video 👍😊

So many ACOB references 🔥

Another great vid! Highlight of my day 🎉

I tried Jay's Brick Blog trick on Saturday in a Lego store, and couldn't get it to work either. I ended up buying 12 blind, and only got 3 doubles. The Bricks & Minifigs store in Crest Hill, IL has a minifig trade night the 3 Sunday of every month. The will trade 1 for 1 for series that are similar. For example, they will trade any CMF that they have in stock for any CMF that you give them. They do the same for the number series (23, 24, or 25). I plan to take my doubles and hope they have the 3 that I am missing.

That's an amazing video I'm going to use those framings on my channel! I thinks that's great your videos, I have got a lot of lego too and I show them on my channel! You're star!

As a target employee I've noticed it can sometimes take forever for certain Lego products to come in let alone pop up in the system the cmfs being the worst. Sometimes a bunch of cmfs will come in but they will be marked as the last series. For ex the first Marvel series when scanned would pop up as the Harry Potter series. That's why they won't be street dated and why they could get put out early

Love the Lego hunting vids!

You can also get an ear cam. One that has a long lens. It will be able to poke into the corner of the box. Then you can see what’s inside

6:52 Buy another one! You need a pair! 😉 Good to see you bought another one!

I have on good authority that Target will stock their minifigs on February 1st. So tell Ross…Check your local targets around Feb 1. You guys are super fun to watch btw. Keep the videos going!

The Target south of San Marcos had CMF 25 in the main Lego aisle right before Christmas. If y'all were at the Cedar Park Target, I feel like I've seen CMF there, but I've never bought any so I could be mistaken.

When I was looking for Marvel CMFs I found them at Kohl's and Best Buy. The weight thing doesn't work that well. I bought a $20 scale and still got duplicates or ones I didn't want 4 or 5 times. Which sucked since I only wanted half the series.

The new PAB boxes have less volume than the cups, however it really depends on what pieces you are buying and whether you want to spend time stacking which container works best. For loose smaller pieces the cup is better. For stacked bricks or especially plates the box is normally better. If you go loose on bricks (besides the largest) the cup beats the box.

I used to love Barton creek mall I used to go when I visited my sister in TX

I don’t know if you have Kroger in Austin but I’ve seen a lot of the CMFs there

Can't lie, I miss the plastic cmf blind bags already. The boxes feel weird.

So I have a scale and the weights weren't the same so I don't know if it will work right.. and my Walmart had cmf on the side end cap of a different aisle

Remember when this channel was more than just low-effort, shopping videos? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Wow I can’t believe none of those stores had them! Our target had series 25 by the self checkout registers and both Barnes and Noble and Walmart had lots of them (with the small codes only). And no, I’ve never heard it called Nobes 😂

go to a smoke shop, and buy a scale that comes in grams… it’ll be super small too

The cmf boxes have definitely discouraged me to buy more of them. I will buy a complete set online but I usually buy extras for the minifigs that I like. But I am no longer doing that since I cannot identify them and am not paying more to buy them individually.

If it says on the Lego website that it's a Lego exclusive, then you will find it it at local retailers as well, like Smyths, for example.

I’m pretty sure you have it backwards about the QR codes. I think Lego started out with the ones that you could scan and realized they had screwed up and all the ones that are small that don’t work are the new ones and that’s how they are going to be from now on.

My Targets don’t have it either and a store employee said they won’t order them anymore, as too much got destroyed… Walmart had the old code ones, but in the back. Same for BestBuy. I had to ask and they’d bring out as many as I asked for

This is so useful!

Amazon has decent "herb" scales for $8.79 that will definitely work for what you need. Same scale in dispenserarys is like $20-$30.

The PAB boxes are probably an improvement for adults who want more lego pieces as they flex, but a terrible idea for kids, I've already seen a kid stuff a box so full it exploded in the store, the mess and crying after was not epic

I've been lucky with the 6-pack boxes from the Lego site. I bought 2 of each of the Marvel series and this one and did not get duplicates. Its risky but I've done okay so far.

Try a postal scale. And I imagine stores like Target and Walmart will stop carrying CMFs because the boxes are always ripped open and they won’t keep putting up with it, IMO.

Great video Emily and Ross great haul have a great week

Lol, you two are adorable. You may go find Ross some shoes but you're definitely going to the Lego store.

The dog is an Afghan Hound! I work at a doggy daycare and omg when they run around they look so regal!

I couldn't find any of the boxes in Target, haven't checked Walmart yet though. The official Lego store I went to had the blind boxes behind the register. I couldn't even weigh them.

Ross stocking up on the #Boxabois 😂😂 love to see it.

I ordered a little one on Amazon ( fits in Pocket). I tried my ring on it. And it works. However we have no minifigs anywhere in my city. I'm about to order a 6box from Amazon.

They already have the boxes in Salt Lake City

I like them "create your own" tubes in my local Lego store, completely custom minifigs, think they're about the same price as buying the boxed ones

I saw a few of Series 25 boxes near a self checkout at target a couple of days ago, just so you know.

I scored a Lego Friends Downtown set for $100 on clearance and like 8 other sets as well at Walmart

the uk have had the cardboard boxes for prick a brick wall a few months i have managed to fit a lot in them

I recommend buying 3 6 packs. Idk if it was sheer luck but I got all 12 mcu series 2 cmf and got all 12

If you want a more precise scale, try looking for a “jeweler’s” or “jewelry” scale. They’re often behind the counter, not on shelves, because of worries that people want them for measuring elicit substances. My spouse picked one up for weighing fiber and perfumes, that handles 0.03 to 500 grams, with 0.01-gram precision.

for weighing espresso I was able to find very precise scales on Amazon by searching for scales meant for jewelry! That may work for weighing the CMFs :)

Hi Emily- Important I khow I’m a bit late but I think a great video would be that you purchase Lego dimensions and review it It’s retired but you can find it

I’ve gotten them at my Target, but I couldn’t get the QR code scanned to work.

I’m in Scotland so might be different here than in USA, but the number on the bottom of the box (where the QR code looking thing is) are all different. I got all the marvel CMFs with no duplicates checking these. Could have just been a total fluke but seems to me that they are that way for a reason??

come to bricks and minifigs in Minnesota we have all the series 25 minifigs LMAO

You guys are great

I bought that same kitchen scale at Walmart to weigh CMFs, and yeah, it was not precise enough. I hope the codes don't let us down. I already purchased the Goatherd online from a reseller.

I order 2 of the six packs from Amazon or Walmart. The boxes don't have duplicates in individual boxes. I've had the best luck of not getting any duplicates that way.

They need to bring the bags back because I've seen some ripped open.

I agree with Lady burg. Fireworks suck 😓

Do you try and ask them to look in the back, I needed the new cmfs so I asked a worker and she brought them right out.

you dont need scales for weighing if you have codes and qr code scanner on your phone as qr code tell you answer without having to weigh it as i just sued qr code way and got 4 knights, 3 goats from 7 boxes i picked.

Get a scale that has a calibration weight included, so you know how accurate it is each time you go to use it. Amazon had one for around $20.

If you dont want to buy a scale you could always use one in the produce department.

18:19 holy crap! Leaf pieces in medium lavender (or maybe lavender?) on the pick-a-brick wall‽ I would be filling a box with those! The closest Lego Store almost never has anything that rare/valuable on the wall.

“Herb” scales normally go down to the 100th of a gram and they tend to be more portable

The Walmart closest to me put the LEGO behind glass in November. But in all honesty they should put everything behind glass at that store.

I found series 25 CMF at target in December

Went to my local Walmart and I found a combination of the new and old QR codes. I was able to find the gamer girl I needed by scanning the code. It was odd that there were different code types on the boxes. The code that gives you the data you need is double the size of the old code.

Notification squad; love the video as always

Hey, I have that kitchen scale! Go to a smoke shop for your scale needs. They'll help you out 😅

Yeah, Feeling the bags is something me and my mom bonded over. And now it’s just sad

7:28 W Ross moment 😂

I bought I think 22 of the marvel ones total and only got 11 of them. But some I don’t have duplicates of, so some I have like, 4 of them

I used the scale for the marvel series 2. It worked for me!

could you tell me what barnes & nobles you were at

I think they should have made the new CMF packaging the same as the old packaging but with the same bamboo-cardboard material as shopping bags so that collectors are able to feel out what is needed rather than buying unnecessary amounts of CMF's so that it is also more economical for the average consumer. I have a feeling both Emily and Ross would agree!

Lol 😆😆🤣 Ross. On the boxe s of. Bois yes thank s. I take all thos. Lol 😆. To funny Ross. 😅😊

In Europe we have qr codes 😎 beautiful thing, I've got what I wanted and if you wish to have suprise you will have 😊 win win situation 😀

I didn't see any of the Marvel CMFs at my local Target. I do hope they get this series in, though.

I found a ton of CMF’s at Joann fabrics.

MAXUS Precision Pocket Scale 200g x 0.01g, Digital Gram Scale Small Food/Jewelry Scale Ounces/Grains Scale with Backlit LCD, Great for Travel..... Scale I bought on Amazon. On sale for $8.99. I saw another Lego KZfaqr use it. I guess you can use it to weigh the Mini Brands( the make it mini) to find the ones you want also.

Yay. You s. fount cmf 😊💥💥👌👌👌. And the. New box s. At the. pab wall.

I haven’t been able to find them anywhere!

Breed is an Afghan hound!

You need a hard flat surface for the scale to work.

No even target. Not been geting cmf in. Orly like k mart hear.in melbourne australia. Targets been getting them in late. Not shaw. Why.

And the CMF’s at The Nobes are now at the customer service desk

A Scale is useless. I Bought a case of marvel figs (Sold the two extra sets on Facebook Market Place for retail Cost) and found that the glue on empty boxes had a 0.12g difference heaviest box to lightest box and the Tap/Cut of the folded instruction book had a 0.8g difference heaviest booklet to lightest booklet. Meaning a 18.99g detective your missing could weigh upwards to 19.19g.

You guys should go shopping at the Lego stores in Oklahoma.

New drinking game take a shot every time Emily says cmfs. Jk love you guys good luck on your finds

What is a cms?

The hack does work I was able to get all the ones I wanted at my local bricks and minifigs

you need to get a micro scale. it weighs in .001 grams very accurate. It cost around 40.00 dollars

I went to a Smyths Toys in the UK today and tried the QR code and it works 😊 so no getting duplicates for me on this series 25 ❤
