All 36 LEGO Shrek minifigures box codes (71053), checked 22 October 2026: one per figure on US boxes, two on UK and EU boxes, plus what is in each box.
Scanning the box before you pay for it is what this topic is mostly about. Three code guides went up on 18 October 2026. The Series 29 (71052) guide explains how to read the Data Matrix code on the bottom of the box and lists what comes in each of the 12. Series 28 Animals (71051) runs from the Monkey to the Frog and covers why the Crocodile has only one confirmed code. The Shrek minifigures (71053) piece records where the codes stood on that date and what is inside all 12 boxes and the box of 36.
The guides lean on the LEGO catalogue: 18 sets and 222 entries as of 21 October 2026. It takes in the numbered line from Series 21 to Series 29, themed waves such as Disney 100, Marvel Studios Series 1, Dungeons & Dragons and The Muppets, and the 12 LEGO F1 Collectible Race Cars.
Seven of those sets carry a Box codes table: Series 25 to 29, Dungeons & Dragons and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, 84 figures between them. Mark what you have and what you want on a series page, and you will know which figures you still need before you start scanning.
