Picking up a set of LEGO 71051 Series 28 Animals minifigures is easy with Brick Search, and here's a guide on how to use the minifigure scanner.
LEGO 71051 Series 28 Animals is nearly here, and there's still plenty of time to learn how to use Brick Search's minifigure scanner to find a full group of mninifigures, or specific character. To make sure you can get hold of the Series 28 minifigures you want, download Brick Search – here for Android devices, and here for iOS devices, then upgrade to Brick Search Plus to get unlimited use of the minifigure box scanner.
Everyone who downloads the free app gets 12 uses of the minifigure scanner, enough to net you all of the minifigures in the series if you're lucky enough to scan them with no duplicates. Otherwise, it costs just £2.49 / £3.49 (less than the price of one boxed minifigure) for a month of access to Brick Search Plus, which will grant you unlimited use of the minifigure scanner as long as you are subscribed.
An annual membership is also available for £19.99 / $29.99, in case you want to stay subscribed all year, ready for whatever minifigure series are next in 2026. Whether you want to try your luck with the 12 scans or get unlimited access for as little as £2.49 / $3.49, read on for a guide on how to use Brick Search's minifigure scanner, whether it's your first time or you need a reminder. Our latest guide even comes complete with visuals.
Once you've opened the app, tap the white scanner icon at the bottom of the home screen to access the minifigure scanner tool.
From here, you'll need whatever box of 7151 Series 28 Animals you want to scan. Just position the data matrix code (the QR-like code next to the barcode) in front of your device's camera and let Brick Search work its magic. It will quickly work to identify which minifigure is inside the box.
Keep repeating this process for as many minifigures as you desire and purchase them. Then, just head home to unbox the latest additions to the collection, safe with the knowledge that you know which minifigures you have picked up from the blind boxes.
Those still struggling with the process can watch our 71051 Series 28 Animals review below for a more in-depth look at how to scan the blind boxes. The most important detail to remember is to scan only the code in the white box, and not the barcode to its left. We'd recommend covering the barcode with your finger for the fastest results.
LEGO Minifigures Series 28 Animals will be released on January 1, 2026, with 12 new minifigures to collect. Boxes are already appearing on shelves, and Brick Search has started cataloguing the scannable codes in case you find them early.
