Antique Packaging Appraisal

LEGO Minifigures Series 26 Blind Box Packaging

The item is a small, rectangular box, indicative of packaging for a collectible toy, specifically a LEGO minifigure from Series 26. The box appears to be made of sturdy cardboard or a similar paper-board material, likely with a gloss finish to allow for printing. The predominant visible color of the box is a dark blue or purple, although the exact shade is difficult to ascertain perfectly due to lighting conditions. Key identifying features include several sets of numbers and a barcode printed prominently on one side of the box. Specifically, the text "ITEM: 6470842" is clearly visible, identifying the product number. Below this, a standard UPC barcode is present with the numbers "6 73419 39191 7" printed beneath it. To the right of the barcode, another identifier "6500747" is printed at the top, and further down, a small QR code or data matrix symbol is visible next to the number "209B4". At the very bottom edge of the visible side, additional small text, possibly a production batch number or internal code, reads "12B596-405-48329". The box shows minimal signs of wear; the edges appear crisp, and the printed information is sharp and legible, suggesting it is either new, recently purchased, or has been handled very carefully. The context provided indicates this is packaging for 'Lego mini figures series 26 71046', which aligns with the item numbers visible on the box, suggesting this is a blind box for a single minifigure from that series. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced toy packaging, designed for durability during retail and transport while clearly displaying product information. No visible damage, tears, or significant discoloration are present.
