Oh, gosh, I gave up on the bumps in Series 3. The key for me is feeling for the accessories, so

the gymnast has a 4x1 plate and two 1x1 bricks for her beam,
the relay runner and weightlifter both have the 1x3 bar but the weightlifter also has two round weights. Relay runner has spiky hair.
Rider has a long ponytail attached to her hat,
swimmer has a very smooth round cap,
boxer has gloves instead of minifigure hands so they feel big, also the headgear is huge,
judo girl has a ponytail but no other accessory; gymnast has same hairpiece but the beam as above,
the archer has the bow, also cute curl at the front of his hair,
tennis player has the racket.

I have 100% strike rate with the fondling method :rotfl: HTH

DD2 has had over a year off Lego but has just decided to get it all out again so we've a bit of catching up to do. I'll copy your list to take to Smiths with me and try the art of fondling.

thank you. According to Lego's facebook page they were instore from yesterday.

I don't think (in the UK at least) they do the 'bump test' after series 2.

Bumps are there, I just find them impossible to read and rely on. I've not seen a bump map for this series though (yet).

my bad..............however looking at this site

"Codes changes every batch. Gotta use the “touch and feel” method."

I certainly use the touchy feely method tho only about a 75% success rate.

Good price if buying in store but would never buy lego from Debenhams again online, they just send in a plastic bag so box gets bashed and battered.

Also available on Argos outlet via Ebay
