Lego% 2Bserie% 2B3A member of FreeLUG went to the trouble of grouping the pouches of his Series 3 minifigs together, and clearly marking the location of the dots on the bottom of the pouch.

Click on the image to have a global view of what it gives, however, they are not all there.

Be careful, it seems that the latest series delivered by LEGO, especially in Northern Europe for the moment, no longer include these mysterious point-based markings. We must therefore "feel" the bag to try to guess its content.

In this regard, beware if you go to toy stores, many people have had the unpleasant surprise, after spending time looking through the series 3 bags, to find broken accessories in the bags.

Other buyers had to handle the bags without necessarily using gloves .....

We do with what we have while waiting for real confirmed information .....

The Amazon.com MarketPlace displays these three boxes which can each contain a series of minifigs (16 characters).
Each box is sold for $ 19 excluding shipping costs and this product perfectly reproduces the design of each series (Color & Fonts), but is not an official LEGO product.
Despite everything, it must be admitted that the solution is attractive for all those who wish to display their series of minifigs in a dust-free environment and with a nice covering.
I am considering ordering these two products for my own use. If you are interested, post a comment and I think it is possible to get a discount on shipping costs via a bulk order or in any case large.
Edit: Amazon does not want to deliver these products to France, so I contacted the seller directly asking if he wanted to deliver to me directly, I am waiting for his response.
