Built for buyers, sellers & collectors

Whether you're sorting a bulk lot or hunting a single rare tile, start with the catalog.

Sellers

Price bulk lots accurately and write listings with confidence. Know exactly which sets your parts came from instead of guessing "LEGO bulk — assorted."

Buyers

Verify that a part is a real catalog item before paying collector prices. Spot common pieces dressed up as rare finds in marketplace photos.

Collectors

Identify mystery minifigs from yard sales and incomplete sets. Find which official sets they complete so you know what to hunt for next.

Interactive collector tools

Go beyond catalog pages — check set completion, compare inventories, and estimate lot value.

How it works

Three steps from mystery brick to identified, priced catalog item.

  1. 1

    Scan or search

    Take a photo on a plain background, or type a part number, minifig ID, or set name if you already have a clue.

  2. 2

    Get a catalog match

    See the official ID, name, image, color variants, related prints, and every parent set the item appears in.

  3. 3

    Check value & decide

    Review market value and set inventories on each detail page. BrickID proves the item is real — you set the price.

Common questions

Quick answers before you start scanning.

Can I read build manuals on BrickID? +

Yes. Every set page includes official LEGO instruction booklets when available. Open a set, scroll to the building instructions section, and flip through pages in your browser — no account or download required.

Is BrickID free? +

Yes. Scanning, searching, and browsing set pages are free. No account is required. We don't sell parts or handle payments.

Where does the catalog data come from? +

Our catalog covers official LEGO sets, parts, and minifigures and is updated daily from public sources around the web. See our catalog overview for more detail.

Why isn't my scan finding a match? +

Try a clearer photo on a plain background, good lighting, and a single item in frame. If confidence is low, use search instead — type any numbers printed on the piece or describe it by name. Some very new or rare items may not be in the catalog yet.

Can I identify minifigures and whole sets too? +

Yes. The scanner supports part, minifig, set, and combined modes. Search also covers all three types — each result links to a detail page with set lists and price information.

Stop guessing. Start identifying.

Whether you're pricing a bulk lot or hunting one missing piece, the catalog has the answer.
