Relive the glory days of LEGO minifigures with Brick Search for Dungeons & Dragons series

Those eager for the minifigure-hunting of the old days can still use Brick Search to scan them in-store – and it’s easier than ever too.

The switch to blind cardboard boxes for LEGO Collectible Minifigures was met with some dissatisfaction from fans, leading to ripped-open boxes when they made their debut for 71039 Marvel Series 2. While the change came with good intentions – cardboard packaging is undoubtedly more environmentally friendly than plastic – it marked the end of an era for fans who loved to try and identify what minifigures they could get by feeling the packaging.

Trying to feel their way to specific accessories or minifigure heads was an art form for many and a huge part of the appeal of LEGO Collectible Minifigures. The hunt was as much of a thrill as collecting all the characters from different series, trying to feel your way to the minifigures you still needed to find.

However, all is not lost. You can still capture that same feeling, even with the cardboard mystery boxes. Brick Search can scan the matrix codes of 71047 Dungeons & Dragons and tell you what's inside within seconds. You might not be feeling around for unique accessories within the packet, but it's ultimately a much more reliable process anyway.

After all, feeling the bags wasn't a tried and tested science. Every series included minifigures without large accessories or distinguishing features that were harder to identify and everyone has been in the situation of thinking you've found the minifigure you're looking for – only to find out you got it wrong after you bought it.

Brick Search removes the room for error, reliably identifying all the characters from 71047 Dungeons & Dragons. That means you can still head out to your local stores on a minifigure hunt but also rest assured that you're going to come home with the ones you're looking for. It's a win-win.

Download Brick Search on iOS or Android to get ready for the launch of 71047 Dungeons & Dragons on September 1, or scan the barcode below if you're on desktop.
