BrickNexus is the collection tracker built for alternative brick brand collectors. Over 100 alt brands plus LEGO, including Lumibricks, Pantasy, Mould King, CaDA, Reobrix, and more. Finally, a tracker that knows your brands. Most collection tools stop at LEGO. BrickNexus was built by a collector who got tired of typing "other" next to every set. Here, your Lumibricks and Pantasy sets get the same first-class treatment, with hand-curated catalogs, set photos, piece counts, and release details filled in for you. WHAT YOU CAN DO Track your collection: Log every set you own across any brand, with status tracking for built, in progress, and backlog. Search and add in seconds: Built-in catalog search for Lumibricks and Pantasy autofills set details. For other brands, enter a set number and we look it up. Or snap a photo with AI Identify and let it find the set for you. Manage your backlog: See how many sets are waiting to be built. Can't decide what's next? Spin the Backlog Spinner and let fate choose. Wishlist: Keep track of the sets you're hunting for, with retiring-soon alerts so you don't miss out. Analytics: Total pieces, spending, estimated value, brand breakdowns, and collector badges to earn along the way. Import and export: Bring your collection in from CSV or Rebrickable, and export your data anytime. Your collection belongs to you. Community: Public profiles, community stats, and data submitted by collectors like you. FREE AND AD FREE BrickNexus is completely free with no ads and no premium tier. It's a passion project supported by the community, built by collectors for collectors. Questions or ideas? Reach us at team@bricknexus.net. Your feedback directly shapes what we build next.
