## What is Unofficial Minifigure Catalog?

NOTE: LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this App.

The Unofficial LEGO Minifigure Catalog App is a must for every LEGO enthusiast! The app contains information about all of the minifigures and sets from 1975 through 2015, including all Collectible Minifigures and non-standard scale figures such as Duplo, Fabuland and Belville.  This is over 7,900 minifigures, 1,600 heads and 5,400 sets!

Each year, we spend several hundred hours photographing, cataloging and updating the app with all of the newest minifigures released.  Professional high-resolution photographs of every minifigure and the associated data are included. Click on the thumbnail to get a full screen picture that you can zoom into. Browse the minifigures and sets by name, theme or year. The Unofficial LEGO Minifigure Catalog App can even import/export your data to Brickset.com.

Note: We are in the process of trying to acquire all 2016 and 2017 minifigures to photograph.  If you or someone you know has a collection, please let us know: support@minifigure.org

* A Brickset.com account is necessary to import and export data to it. Please notice that neither Brickset.com nor our App is able to resolve version conflicts. If you edit the same figure on both the App and the website, then one of them will be lost. It is also possible that Brickset.com has minifigures that are not yet in our App and vice versa.

### 1/5 — Old old app

*2022-11-21*

Needs removal from App Store, doesn’t do anything. Don’t waste your money.

### 2/5 — Minifigure flaws

*2019-07-19, version 2.5.1*

The app is only fair, will not import my figures from brick link and database is not updated regularly!

### 1/5 — UPDATE

*2018-04-25, version 2.5.1*

When will this be updated?? Last update was 2016? That's ridiculous!

### 5/5 — Best one out there but no longer updated

*2018-02-11*

This is by far the best Minifigure app but sadly is no longer updated.  If you are a conpletionist like me.  You need this app.   I am up to 1400 figs now and still going

### 1/5 — Dissappointed

*2018-01-01*

Downloaded this app and purchased updates. Dissappointed that it is only updated to 2015. Save your money.

**Developer response:** LEGO released more than 1600 Minifigure in 2016-2017 alone. We are working with collectors to get the photos, but this will take time. Keep an eye on our website for updates and how you can get involved.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2017-10-18, version 2.4.5*

Good app been using for a wile now the only downside is takes a bit to get minifigure list updated 
We needed a update list every 6 months that would make this a great app....., but still good and useful

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-09-27*

Good

### 5/5 — Lego

*2017-08-10, version 2.4.5*

It is very good and easy to use.

### 4/5 — Intéressant pour la gestion des figs!

*2017-05-21*

Une application sympa est complète pour les minifigs Lego. Besoin de payer pour certaines mises à jours mais vraiment pas cher.

### 3/5 — Very useful, but needs regular updates

*2017-05-16, version 2.4.5*

There are a few Minifigure collections missing from this now. I d go to 4-5 stars if it was updated more regularly.
