What is LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17?
LEGO introduced the LEGO Collectible Minifigures in May 2010. They are sold in polybags, preventing buyers from identifying the minifigures.
LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17 is part of LEGO set 71017. It contains 20 minifigures from the LEGO Batman The Movie. The official release date of LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17 is January 17.
How do I identify the contents of LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17?
The first two series of the LEGO collectible minifigures (Series 1 and 2) have unique barcodes on the polybags which makes identifying the minifigures possible.
Other series also unique bump codes which may be able to used to identify the minifigures.
There has been no indication that the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17 will have the unique barcodes or the bump codes. That leaves us to the old proven technique to identify the contents of the blind polybags, which is the feel technique.
