We were trying to get the entire set of these at the weekend so I had a bit of a hunt around for any sites listing the dotcodes for them, sadly I couldnt find anything so we took a punt. Out of the 9 we bought we ended up with 2 duplicates, although when I inspected the packets more closely at home I should have spotted them as duplicates. Oh well! Listed below are the dot codes for the ones we found:
Update
We just received the Boxer, so I’ve updated the image below to reflect that
Update 2 – 2012-0707
Thanks to James in the comments for pointing out the Hurdler is in fact a Gymnast.
Dot codes
Worth mentioning these are all looking at the back of the packs, the line down the middle represents the middle of the packet (where the colour change is).
1. Archery
2. Boxing
3. Gymnast
4. Judo
5. Tennis – Missing
6. Weight Lifting
7.Runner – Missing
8. Swimmer
9. Jockey
As you can see some are blank, I dont yet have those!
Just to let you know that the hurdler is in fact a gymnast with a balance beam, also I have managed to find the Tennis player, I know where I got it from so I’ll try and find out the dot code to add to your help page. P.S thank you, as you page was very helpful

Hi I am new to collecting these, I am looking at the back of the packaging and I can’t seem to find these so called dot codes? Can anyone post an image?
Kind regards

They are really hard to see, and I dont have a photo, sorry. If you look at the very bottom strip of the packaging, at the back. The bit where the front and back are crimped together. You should see some little deformations in the pattern, look at a hole bunch of bags and you should be able to spot some have these little dots, they are just impressed not a different colour and about 2mm diameter.
