The Boscovs near us had tons of these "Mystery" collectible minifigs as well. All of them have the same LARGE UPC code on the left-hand side of the packaging. However, if you squint enough you can see that the smaller UPC code on the right hand side is different per each variety of minifig. Needless to say, I had the time, so I literally went through each minifig package and compared the small UPC codes on the backs to the other packages. I had them all spread out on a shelf. (Business was slow that day, so they didn't seem to care!) It took about 40 minutes, but by comparing each package to the others, I was able to find 16 different barcodes. Bought all 16 and when I got home, I carefully snipped then re-taped the packages just to confirm my finds. It took some time, but I found them all!Good luck!
That is so smart - I wonder if that theory would apply to Disney's different mystery pin packs and vinylmations.
