Minifig Scan represents a specialized utility application developed by Francis Bonnin that addresses a specific pain point in the LEGO collecting community. The app leverages the discovery that LEGO Minifigures Series 25 packages contain identifiable data codes, allowing users to determine the enclosed minifigure before purchase. This functionality has become particularly valuable since LEGO's transition to cardboard packaging, which eliminated tactile identification methods previously used by collectors. The core functionality centers on using the device's camera to scan the alphanumeric code located on the bottom of minifigure packages. The application processes this code against an internal database that maps codes to specific minifigures from Series 25 and subsequent releases. Additional features include a collection management system that enables users to track acquired minifigures and identify missing pieces from their collections. The database receives regular updates to accommodate new series releases, maintaining relevance as LEGO introduces additional minifigure collections. User experience demonstrates efficiency in real-world retail environments, with scanning operations typically completing within seconds. The interface maintains minimalistic design principles, focusing primarily on the scanning functionality while providing clear visual feedback for successful identifications. Users report employing the application during retail shopping trips, with many noting the ability to quickly verify multiple packages while standing in store aisles. The absence of premium paywalls or subscription requirements contributes to straightforward accessibility for all users. User feedback trends overwhelmingly positive, with a 4.91/5 rating based on recent evaluations. Reviewer Akindor (September 1, 2025) notes the application operates 'in a flash' compared to alternative scanners, while Yourbroskie (August 10, 2025) highlights the financial savings achieved by avoiding duplicate purchases. Multiple reviewers including 121847394 (September 1, 2025) confirm successful operation with Series 26 minifigures, indicating ongoing developer support for new releases. West de la Torre (September 1, 2025) specifically praises the collection tracking functionality as particularly valuable for completionist collectors. The application's primary strength lies in solving a genuine collector problem with elegant technical execution, though limitations exist regarding LEGO's unofficial stance on code scanning. While numerous users report accurate identifications, the developer appropriately notes that LEGO has not officially confirmed the coding system's consistency or permanence. The application remains most valuable for collectors seeking specific minifigures or attempting to complete full sets without unnecessary duplicate purchases. Its utility diminishes for collectors pursuing older series or those content with random selections.
