We’re all going to be ringing in the new year by scanning for LEGO minifigures, and you can get ahead of the game by downloading Brick Search now.
A January 1 trip to the LEGO Store (or January 2 depending on the opening times of your local branch) is an annual tradition at this point, not only to browse the 100+ new LEGO sets launching that day but also to scan for your favourite characters in the latest series of LEGO Minifigures. That’ll be the case again in 2026 with 71051 Series 28 Animals – so now’s the time to download Brick Search if you haven’t already.
Brick Search’s minifigure scanner allows you to scan multiple boxes of Series 28 Animals at once to reveal what’s inside each one (taking away the gambling element of their blind packaging), track how many boxes you’ve scanned in total and offers live, in-camera results. It’s the fastest way to collect either a full series of costumed characters or just the ones that take your fancy.
Series 28 goes all-in on the mascot-style minifigures that have shown up now and again across previous in-house series, revisiting previous concepts with a fresh twist (the bunny and cat) while adding plenty of new animal costumes to the roster too (a peacock, parrot, goldfish, frog… the list goes on). Download Brick Search on iOS or Android to prepare for release day, then browse through (or watch!) our hands-on review to shortlist your faves.
Brick Search Plus members can enjoy unlimited use of the minifigure scanner, as well as a host of other benefits including a £30 voucher to use at The Minifigure Store (UK/EU only; terms and conditions apply), full access to the archive of over 10,000 LEGO sets and more.
