I know I’m a bit late with preparing a feel guide for Series 19 of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures. For some reason, many of the stores in my area weren’t putting them out in a timely fashion, so it took me a while to get them. Then, the Thanksgiving holiday hit, and we also had some events organized by my LEGO User Group, so writing up a guide slipped my mind. Hopefully, the series is now readily available in your area, so you can get them. And now let’s get feeling!
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Bear Costume Guy: This minifig comes with two distinctly shaped tiles that are easy to find. The half-arch shaped rainbow tile is especially easy to pick out. When you shake the baggies, tiles fall into the corners quite easily, so you can identify them quickly. There are four Bear Costume Guys in a full box, so this minifig is fairly easy to find.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Dog Sitter: Look for the shovel. It’s the least complicated piece to feel for in the blind bags. I would avoid looking for the dogs or the poop because they can easily get confused with other pieces. Animal shapes are hard to make out when you are feeling for them, and the poop feels too similar to the Shower Guy’s ducky. There are three Dog Sitters in a full box, so this is one of the rarer minifigs.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Fire Fighter: Her megaphone is the piece you need to look for. It feels a lot like a dunce cap, just with a bar off to one side (the handle). There are three Fire Fighters in a full box, so this is one of the rarer minifigs.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Fox Costume Girl: This minifig comes with a good deal of pieces, but none of them are easy to feel for. Even though it’s not my favorite piece to feel for, the chicken is still the easiest to find. It will take time to identify it, but it has a few more features that are easier to distinguish. More sensitive feelers might be able to identify the sack. But make sure you can make out the handle to assure yourself that you are not dealing with the Rugby Player’s ball. There are three Fox Costume Girls in a full box, so this is one of the rarer minifigs.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Fright Knight: The sword, the shield, and even the plume for his helmet are great parts to feel for. This is one of the simplest minifigs to find. There are four Fright Knights in a full box, so this minifig is fairly easy to find.
➡ LEGO Minifigs Series 19 – Galactic Bounty Hunter: I would recommend finding the bounty hunter’s holographic poster. It’s a book cover piece that feels like one of those square flat flags that comes in many sets. The gun can work in a pinch, but I find the book cover more distinct. There are four Bounty Hunters in a full box, so this is one of the easiest minifigs to find.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Gardener: Surprisingly, it’s the two plant pieces the gardener comes with that help identify her fast. They feel similar to a grappling hook, and previously came with Sally from the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 2, Mr. Longbottom from the LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series, and the Giraffe Guy from The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures Series. There are three Gardeners in a full box, so this is one of the rarer minifigs.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Jungle Explorer: You got two great options with this minifigure. Either find his backpack or his hat. The backpack has a rolled sleeping bag on one edge that’s fairly distinct. Ands the broad brim of his hat is hard to mistake. The magnifier is another good choice. There are four Explorers in a full box, so this minifig is fairly easy to find.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Monkey King: Find a bar or a lightsaber hilt and you’re done. None of the other minifigs has the same pieces. Personally, I go for the bar as it is the easiest to identify. There are three Monkey Kings in a full box, so this is one of the rarer minifigs.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Mountain Biker: The bike is pretty huge for a collectible minifigure baggie, so it’s pretty easy to find. However, since this minifig is quite popular, chances are someone else already picked them out. If you are lucky enough to get access to a fresh box, I’d look for the wheels and/or tires. The frame of the bike, even though big and obvious, will feel confusing. There are three Bikers in a full box, so this is one of the rarer minifigs.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Mummy Queen: Look for the scorpion. It’s the easiest way to identify this minifig. In addition, there are five Mummy Queens in a full box, so it’s very easy to find her.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Pizza Costume Guy: The pizza slice costume piece is massive. It’s the same wedge shaped part as the Watermelon Guy from The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Series. It’s so big and simple, it almost feels like a DUPLO piece. There are four Pizza Costume Guys in a full box, so it’s fairly easy to find.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Programmer: Out of all the pieces this minifig comes with, its the 1×2 rounded plate for her robot that is easiest to find. Keep in mind that the gun the robot is built off of feels super strange, so don’t get hung up on that piece. Stick with the 1×2 round plate and you will be safer finding her. There are four Programmers in a full box, so this minifig is fairly easy to find.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Rugby Player: I dislike feeling for this minifig. Identification comes down to finding the ball. The problem is that it’s a small piece and you need to make out the handle on the underside to positively identify it. Here’s something you can do to save a little time. If you find a headgear piece that feels like it has ear flaps, chances are you have found the helmet. Once that’s done, you can spend time finding his ball. There are four Rugby Players in a full box, so this minifig is fairly easy to find.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Shower Guy: The brush is the key here. The ducky is too small, and I avoid trying to identify headgear whenever possible. Thankfully, the brush is something we’ve been used to for years, so it’s easy to identify. There are three Shower Guys in a full box, so this is one of the rarer minifigs.
➡ LEGO Collectible Minifigs Series 19 – Video Game Champ: I’d start by finding the 2×3 tile. From there, you can do one of two things. You can either locate the controller, which is pretty new and can feel a bit foreign, or you can make sure it doesn’t have a honking big pizza costume (the Pizza Costume Guy also comes with a 2×3 tile). If you do one of these, then you’re pretty set to start playing some games! There are five Gamers in a full box, so this is one of the easiest minifigs to find.
I hope this guide helps you in finding the minifigures you would like. If you have trouble locating them at retailers, you can also get them at at the Online LEGO Shop either as individual blind bags or a s a full box. Check the Minifigures section of the Online LEGO Shop.
