How our catalog works

Set, part, and minifigure catalog

Our catalog covers official LEGO sets, parts, minifigures, themes, years, and inventories. We pull and reconcile data from public sources around the web and refresh it daily so search, browse, and set pages stay current.

LEGO product facts belong to the LEGO Group. What we add is the experience around them: fast lookup, photo scanning, market price panels, in-browser build manuals, and collector-focused guides written for this site.

Original editorial content

Pages under Guides, theme overviews, and custom set introductions are written or edited for BrickID. They explain identification workflows, pricing strategies, and building tips in plain language.

Default set and part summaries describe catalog facts without copying third-party wikis. Where we add longer intros or bullet highlights, those sections are meant to help collectors use the data — not to replace official LEGO product descriptions.

Photo scanner

The scanner uses a high-quality visual detection algorithm trained to match parts, minifigures, and sets against our catalog. Point your camera or upload a photo on a plain background and we return ranked matches with confidence scores.

Your photo is used only to find a match — we do not keep copies on our servers afterward. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Build manuals and images

Instruction booklets on set pages come from official LEGO building-instruction services when available. Set box images and element thumbnails are loaded from public catalog and CDN sources referenced in our database.

Market estimates

Price panels summarize recent secondary-market activity from collector marketplaces. Estimates are indicative only — we do not sell parts or process payments. Always verify condition and completeness before buying or selling.

Corrections
