User blog:Sim533/Universal Codes for Series 12?

Hi everybody,

Last week Funcom shared information about Series 12. If you haven't read the article yet about Series 12, then please follow this link to their news blog. Those minifigures will be launched during October. These will be launched in both game and shops. New, starting from this series, is that every bag will contain a code. That code will allow the player to unlock the minifigure instantly in the game.

Eurobricks member WhiteFang reviewed the Series recently and has written down some notes about these codes.

"'As you flipped to the back of the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 12 promotional poster, you are able to view a string of code embedded in the back. This code is to unlock a 'certain' mysterious character on the anticipating new MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game) at LEGO.com/Minifigures. However, if you notice carefully at the top right hand corner of the promotional poster. You will be able to notice a number 10 which I strongly believed it will unlock 'Dino Tracker' which is the exact minifigure that I have gotten. I have also taken initiative to compare with the rest of the posters and codes. It appears that all number 10 promotional poster, shared the same string of code which allow you to unlock the same character. I will like to try out this new online + game code strategy to see how it will entice LEGO fans and collectors. I will think this will much appeal to the younger audience. Meanwhile, the official LEGO Minifigures Online 'Beta' can be found here. '"

I'm concerned about the fact how easily kids share their codes online. I've seen already plenty of codes that were given with the latest US release of the LEGO Club magazine to unlock Galaxy Patrol in-game. Even it's mentioned everywhere that these codes are unique! If codes are universal for all these minifigures for all 16 minifigures of Series 12, what will people do? Use the code or collect them the hard way.
