For S10, you could see what each packet contained by shining a torch through the front of the packet and looking under the flap on the back. It helped to do it in the dark and therefore at home.
What I'll be doing with S11 is buying a sealed box, keeping the ones I want and trading or selling at cost the ones I don't. I'm a member of a local AFOL group that regularly meets face to face as well as part of a national AFOL association.
My thoughts on S11:
Holiday Elf - perfect as a pixie. Just add a sword.
Tiki Warrior - can pass as a Mayan/Aztec. I like the fact that you can display this minifig with or without the mask, in effect, suitable as two distinct minifigs.
Barbarian - a bit disappointing. Was hoping for a single piece horned helm, an oversized axe and a cape. Good thing I've already MOCed a barbarian like that!
Grandma - will use head & hair for a good witch. The new cat is cool.
Scarecrow - not bad but would have preferred a more menacing face.
Bavarian Lady - will make a good serving wench.
Mountaineer - only really any use for the rope part.
Yeti - best minifig in S11! Love the ice lolly. Shame the head is a single piece and not a hair/beard piece that fits over a standard head.
Scientist - might keep one for the "potions".
