Mystery LEGO D&D Minifigure Code Baffles Collectors

A curious mystery has emerged amongst LEGO Dungeons & Dragons minifigure fans in the UK. Some collectors are finding a 13th code on their boxes, despite there being only 12 official minifigures in the series.

The Brick Search app, a popular tool for identifying LEGO sets and minifigures, has confirmed and verified codes for all 12 figures in the US. The team is actively working on verifying codes for the UK and EU. Typically, scanning a box with Brick Search provides a guaranteed result for the minifigure contained within. However, a specific code appearing in the UK leads to a different outcome.

In addition to the 12 codes corresponding to each individual character in the 71047 Dungeons & Dragons series, Brick Search has received multiple reports of a 13th, mystery code. This code seemingly points to either Tasha the Witch Queen or Szass Tam, leaving the final outcome a 50/50 chance.

Fear not, discerning collectors, as the Brick Search team has identified the mystery code. If you encounter this elusive code and scan it with the app, you'll receive a message confirming the box contains either Tasha or Szass. While Tasha appears to be the more likely outcome based on reports, the code has been linked to both characters.

The team is diligently tracking occurrences to determine the prevalence of each character. If you stumble upon this unique code and choose to open the box to discover its contents, the Brick Search team encourages you to contact them at [email protected] to report your findings.

Whether this mystery code is a genuine feature of all production runs of the 71047 Dungeons & Dragons series or an error limited to UK shelves remains unknown. Brick Fanatics has reached out to the LEGO Group for clarification. If this 13th code proves to be exclusive to the initial production run, it could become a highly sought-after collectible for those aiming to complete their collection.

Important Note: It's worth remembering that both Tasha the Witch Queen and Szass Tam have their own unique codes. If you scan a box and Brick Search identifies a specific character, you can be sure that's the figure inside. The mystery code only applies to the uncertain 50/50 scenario.

The 71047 Dungeons & Dragons series officially launches in LEGO Stores on 1 September. However, these blind-boxed characters are already appearing on shelves in the US and potentially in the UK. If you spot the series in UK stores before the official launch, please notify the Brick Search team at [email protected]
