Brick Collector
Read full descriptionHide full description
Brick Collector turns your brick sets and minifigures into a real, organized inventory instead of a pile of boxes on a shelf. Catalog every set and minifig you own, track what you paid, flag what's retired, and finally answer the question every brick collector asks eventually: what do I actually have? Most collectors start with a spreadsheet, a notes app, or nothing at all ā and lose track the moment the collection grows past a shelf or two. Brick Collector is built to be the one place your whole collection lives: sets, minifigures, loose parts, and the wishlist of what's still missing. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Catalog every set and minifigure ā set number, theme, subtheme, piece count, and release year, all in one running inventory ⢠Track what you paid ā log a purchase price per item and watch your total collection value change over time on a running chart ⢠Mark items sealed, built, or parts-only, and flag any set as retired so you always know what's still on shelves and what's gone ⢠Rate condition, from mint-sealed to well-loved with pieces missing, so your catalog shows more than a piece count ever could ⢠Attach a photo to every set and minifigure for a real visual catalog, not just rows of text ⢠Organize into custom collections ā Space, Castle, City, Technic, or however your brick shelf is actually sorted ⢠Log a whole haul in one pass after a big trip to a set store, instead of adding twenty sets one screen at a time ⢠Keep a wishlist with priority levels, then share it as a plain list so relatives stop buying you duplicate sets ⢠See your collection at a glance on one stats screen ā total items, total value paid, items by theme, and by condition ⢠Get milestone nudges as your inventory crosses 5, 25, 50, 100, and 250 items logged ⢠Export your entire inventory to CSV whenever you want your own copy of the data ⢠Get AI-assisted insights on your own collection ā gaps, uncategorized items, missing photos, and organization nudges ā plus alternate-build ideas pulled from sets you already own ⢠Reference a condition and grading guide so "used," "complete," and "sealed" mean the same thing every time WHY BRICK COLLECTOR ⢠Built specifically for brick collectors and AFOLs, not a generic inventory app with brick fields bolted on ⢠One catalog for the whole collection ā sets, minifigures, and parts ā instead of scattered notes and spreadsheets ⢠Retired-set tracking front and center, because knowing what's discontinued is half of managing a collection well ⢠A wishlist that does something ā a one-tap share sheet instead of a screenshot texted around one by one ⢠AI insights that look at your own collection, not an invented market price ā organization help, not guesswork WHO IT'S FOR ⢠Collectors who buy sets to keep, not just to build once and take apart ⢠Minifigure collectors who need figures treated as first-class catalog items, not an afterthought ⢠Anyone tracking a growing haul from set stores, conventions, or secondhand marketplaces ⢠Parents and gift-givers who want a shareable wishlist so the right set gets bought, not a duplicate Brick Collector's free tier covers a solid starter catalog with ads. A Pro subscription (Monthly or Annual, with a free trial on Annual) unlocks unlimited sets and minifigures, CSV export, AI insights and build ideas, and removes ads. Cancel anytime from your device's subscription settings. Whether you're logging your first set or auditing a collection that's taken over a spare room, Brick Collector keeps the inventory, the wishlist, and the value history in one place.
