I'll admit I got a little excited seeing these before I realized it's a puzzle
and not actual minifigs but I still couldn't pass one up. Pick one up, I said.
It'll be something fun and quick for a post, I said...
There are four different puzzles in Collection 1 and they're blind
packed.
Or are they?
I wondered if, like the minifigs, these had some kind of code on them to clue
you in on what's inside and I think they do! I checked a few boxes and noticed
this number is not the same on every one. I didn't check online in the store because I wanted to be surprised. I may check back to see if I can find the pumpkin guy.
The last three numbers are the key.
253 Mummy
031 Jack O'Lantern
108 Vampire
127 Skeleton Girl
This 100 piece puzzle probably took me close to an hour all told
for a couple reasons. It's not your standard rectangular shape and a lot of
the pieces look like bandages so it was hard to tell where they were supposed to go.
Last year's Mummy build-a-minifig is next to it for scale. There's an extra
bit of fun with the puzzles in this series. They're made so that you can swap
heads, torsos, and legs between them to create your own monster minifig! That's a pretty cool idea and a neat way to get more out of them if you have
more than one.
