If these are going to be the new minifig blind boxes, what's been the best way to buy a full set? This will likely be the first and only time I want to do that lol.
Go into a ClickBrik and insist on buying an entire unopened box. That's how I got the Series 18 classic Police Officer.
You can just resell the duplicates.
As usual: It depends.
There are online sellers who specialize in minifigures and offer the full set for a bit of a mark-up. I don't use these, so I can't recommend one.
Bricklink is a third party marketplace for Lego, which was bought up by Lego a couple years back. You can order individual parts, minifigures, sets from third parties. For example, I buy missing collectables there and in return sell my duplicates.
Last, there is the possibility that this new series also will have individual scannable QR codes on the packaging, like the current one does. Apps such as Bricksearch can scan the code and tell you which minifigure is inside.
Thanks for the info!
