LEGO Minifigures Series 29 codes: how to tell what's in each box
Checked on 18 October 2026. You don't have to open a LEGO Minifigures Series 29 box to know who is inside. Scan the square Data Matrix code on the bottom and the first seven digits of the result name the figure. Series 29 is set 71052, also listed as CMF Series 29: twelve collectible minifigures, with a release date of 1 May 2026 and a price of £3.49 a box on LEGO.com UK. This guide puts every code next to what you get in the box, then covers scanning step by step, whether UK codes differ, the box of 36 and each figure in turn. You can tick off your own figures right below the list or in the LEGO Minifigures Series 29 checklist.
LEGO Series 29 code list, with what's in each box
| Minifigure | Box codes | In the box |
|---|---|---|
| Robot T. rex | 6603331, 6605257 | 1×1 round battery brick |
| Marine Biologist | 6603321, 6605247 | clownfish on an anemone, “106” tile |
| Bionicle Cosplayer | 6603325, 6605251 | printed Bionicle canister |
| Monster Hunter | 6603328, 6605254 | gunblade, “Reward” poster tile |
| Boba Cup Fan | 6603324, 6605250 | bubble tea cup costume |
| Trash Monster | 6603330, 6605256 | pizza box, fishbone, fly |
| Chocolatier | 6603323, 6605249 | chocolate dragon, piping bag |
| Tuba Player | 6603322, 6605248 | tuba |
| Soccer Goalkeeper | 6603320, 6605246 | football |
| Cute Witch | 6603329, 6605255 | grey cat |
| Mysterious Ronin | 6603327, 6605253 | gold katana and scabbard, gold shurikens |
| Unicorn Elf | 6603326, 6605252 | white unicorn, goblet |
Each figure has two seven-digit codes because those are the two runs on which two independent lists agree: BrickNav (its Region 1 and Region 4 columns) and Minifigure Scanner, both checked on 18 October 2026. BrickNav has two more columns, but nobody else confirms them and one number appears against two different figures, so they are left out here. The same codes sit in the Box codes table on the set page.

How to scan a LEGO minifigure box
- Find the right square. On the base of the box, next to the ordinary barcode, there is a large Data Matrix square, the thing most collectors call the QR code. It first appeared on Series 25 boxes (71045) in 2024.
- Use any Data Matrix reader. Jay's Brick Blog notes that some phone cameras read it natively; otherwise a free scanning app will do. Collector apps such as Minifigure Scanner, the Jay's Brick Blog scanner and Brick Search translate the code into a name for you.
- Read only the first seven digits. Match them against the list above: 6603327 or 6605253, for example, is the Mysterious Ronin.
- Ignore the printed line. The characters printed under the square are a production code, and the EAN barcode is the same on all twelve boxes, so neither identifies the figure.
Do UK boxes have different Series 29 codes?
Possibly, and the line printed under the square tells you which factory made your box. According to Jay's Brick Blog, its fourth character is S for Kladno in the Czech Republic, which supplies the UK and the EU, or R for Ciénega de Flores in Mexico, which supplies the US and Canada. What nobody publishes is which of the two code runs belongs to which factory: BrickNav labels them only as regions and Minifigure Scanner gives no region at all. So check a UK box against both codes listed for the figure. Jay's Brick Blog says its scanner was updated for Series 29 boxes from the US, the UK and the EU, and LEGO has changed codes between batches before, according to Jay's Brick Blog and Brick Current.
Is there a Series 29 feel guide?
No, and there can't be. Feel guides belonged to the foil-bag era. Collectible minifigures now come in cardboard boxes, and Jay's Brick Blog, writing about Marvel Series 2 (71039) on 14 August 2023, said the boxes ended feeling for parts. The position of a box in the case is no clue either, the same blog found, because boxes are packed in random order. Weighing works only in theory: for Marvel Series 2, Jay's Brick Blog's weight guide called for a scale accurate to the milligram, and we found no weight table for Series 29 (18 October 2026). The code is the reliable way.

Nods to other LEGO themes
Mysterious Ronin: LEGO never names him, but Jay's Brick Blog and Blocks magazine both identify him as Lloyd, the green ninja of Ninjago. He brings a gold katana in a brown scabbard and gold shurikens, and his hood and scarf are a single piece with tufts of hair.
Bionicle Cosplayer: a fan in a Tahu mask, the Toa of fire, with Bionicle-style limbs on his back. His one accessory is a printed 1×1 round canister.
Robot T. rex: Jay's Brick Blog calls it a remix of the Series 24 T. rex costume, with metallic teeth, printing on the back, arms, legs and tail, and a head that opens like a camera iris. The accessory is a round 1×1 brick printed as a battery.
Unicorn Elf: a leafy green dress, hair with a tiara moulded in and a second face with closed eyes. The white unicorn with a gold mane and tail is a recolour of the one from set 31175, according to Jay's Brick Blog, and she also has a goblet.
Jobs and hobbies
Marine Biologist: new hair with the mask and snorkel moulded in, a newly made clownfish that clips onto a trans-pink anemone, and a 2×2 tile with a clownfish sketch and the number 106.
Tuba Player: a red marching-band uniform with epaulettes and a shako, printed on the arms, the sides of the legs and the back. The tuba is a brand-new LEGO element (BrickOwl, Jay's Brick Blog).
Soccer Goalkeeper: LEGO.com UK lists him as the Soccer Goalkeeper; Jay's Brick Blog and BrickOwl call him the Football Goalkeeper. The new ball has a slot so he can hold it, his socks and boots are printed on dual-moulded legs, and the alternative face is mid-shout.
Chocolatier: a piping bag with a brown wand and an unprinted chocolate dragon on a stand. StoneWars points out that the dragon mould comes from the Dungeons & Dragons minifigure series; her second face is licking chocolate off her lips.
Monsters, magic and costumes
Monster Hunter: a steampunk huntress with a fabric skirt, a green eyeglass and different prints on each arm. She carries a new gunblade with a candle flame at the muzzle and a 2×3 “Reward” poster showing the female vampire from set 31167 (Jay's Brick Blog).
Trash Monster: printing on almost every surface and a rotting pumpkin head with worms under the slime. It has three accessories: a slimy pizza box with a mushroom, a new fishbone piece and a new fly tile, with a spare fly in the box (Jay's Brick Blog).
Cute Witch: a magical-girl outfit in purple with light blue and pink, a pink bow, a sparkly skirt and cat socks. Her new hat has a shorter point and a wide brim and comes moulded with light blue hair, and the grey cat is a new piece too.
Boba Cup Fan: a see-through bubble tea costume with a pearlescent pink dome lid, a trans-pink cup and straw, and printed tapioca pearls (Jay's Brick Blog). The plain pink figure underneath shows its second face through the cup.
Box of 36, full set and the rarest Series 29 minifigure
LEGO does not mark any Series 29 figure as rare and does not publish how a case is packed. StoneWars wrote on 1 April 2026 that a full box of 36 should hold three complete sets, so each figure three times; treat that as the site's expectation rather than a LEGO guarantee. We have no resale prices confirmed by two sources, so we don't name a most valuable figure.
A full set is twelve boxes if you never get a repeat, which is £41.88 at LEGO.com UK's £3.49. Every duplicate adds another £3.49, which is the case for scanning before you buy.
Where to buy LEGO Minifigures Series 29 in the UK
LEGO.com UK had Series 29 in stock at £3.49 a box on 17 October 2026, but it was already flagged “Retiring soon” when we checked on 12 October, so it may not stay there long. Jay's Brick Blog's review says the series is sold on LEGO.com and at most toy retailers. In North America there is also a 6-pack, set 66814 (Jay's Brick Blog).
Keeping track of Series 29 on ColleX
The marks under the code list and on the set page are the same list: “Have” in one place shows in the other, and the set page counts how many of the twelve you have. The previous series, LEGO Minifigures Series 28: Animals, is in the catalogue too, and the Shrek series has its own guide to the 12 figures and box codes. Every series is in the LEGO section. Box codes for Series 28: Animals are in our Series 28 guide.
Frequently asked questions
What are the LEGO Series 29 codes for the UK?
Each figure has two seven-digit codes that BrickNav and Minifigure Scanner agree on, for example 6603327 or 6605253 for the Mysterious Ronin. Neither list says which run is the UK one, so compare your scan with both. The full list is at the top of this guide (checked on 18 October 2026).
How do you tell which LEGO Series 29 minifigure is in the box?
Scan the large square Data Matrix code on the bottom of the box with any Data Matrix reader and look up the first seven digits of the result. The barcode is the same on every box in the series, and the line printed under the square only shows where the box was made.
What are the Lloyd and Bionicle codes in LEGO Series 29?
Lloyd is the Mysterious Ronin, codes 6603327 or 6605253. The Bionicle Cosplayer, dressed as Tahu, is 6603325 or 6605251. Both pairs are confirmed by BrickNav and Minifigure Scanner as of 18 October 2026.
Is there a feel guide for LEGO Minifigures Series 29?
No. Since 2023 the figures have come in cardboard boxes, so there is nothing to feel through, and we found no weight table for Series 29 boxes. Scanning the Data Matrix code is the reliable way to know the figure.
Which LEGO Series 29 minifigure is the rarest?
None is rarer by design: LEGO marks none as rare, and StoneWars expects a full box of 36 to hold three complete sets, three of each figure. We have no resale prices confirmed by two sources, so we don't rank the figures by value.
How many boxes do you need for a full set of Series 29?
Twelve if none repeats, which is £41.88 at the LEGO.com UK price of £3.49 a box. A sealed box of 36 should hold three complete sets, according to StoneWars.
How do I swap Series 29 duplicates on ColleX?
Set your duplicates to “Have” with a quantity of 2 or more and mark the figures you still need as “Want”. ColleX shows collectors whose spares and wants match yours, you agree the swap in chat, and duplicates can also be offered for trade where the ColleX Market is open in your country.
