LEGO Halloween Minifig Puzzle

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.
