A universe of LEGO
The Brickiverse
The Brickiverse is a free web application for browsing LEGO sets, minifigures and fan-made builds, and for keeping track of a personal collection. It brings together official set data, a searchable minifigure database, the full LEGO color palette and an archive of community-made alternate builds in one place. Browsing requires no account; a free account adds collection, wishlist and rating features.
What distinguishes it from a plain database is how thoroughly the content is linked. A set page lists the minifigures inside that set; each minifigure page lists every set it appears in; colors, themes and designers each have their own browsable views. As a result, the catalogue can be navigated by following connections between items, not only by searching for them.
The site is built to work equally well as a quick reference and as a place to browse at length. It runs entirely in a web browser, on desktop and mobile alike, and can be added to a phone's home screen so that it behaves like an installed app. Nothing needs to be downloaded, and the core catalogue is free to use in full — no payment, no advertising, and no account required to look anything up.
What's in the archive
The Brickiverse catalogues official LEGO sets released between 1949 and 2026, the minifigures that come in them, and thousands of fan-made builds. As of August 2026 the archive holds around 3,460 sets, 7,020 minifigures, 10,700 fan builds, 273 colors and over 2.36 million catalogued pieces, across 38 themes. It is kept current: new sets are added as they are released, prices and retirement status are updated over time, and community contributions such as ratings and lists continue to grow.
Sets
Every set in the catalogue has its own detail page listing its piece count, release year, theme, original retail price, number of minifigures and a community rating. Where the data is available, each page also shows whether the set has retired — that is, whether LEGO has stopped producing it — and the year it did so. Sets can be searched by name or by set number and filtered by theme, year, piece count and price. Sorting options surface the largest sets, the best value per piece and the cheapest sets, and a dedicated “retiring soon” view lists sets nearing the end of their production run. Quick filters narrow the grid to only retired sets or only those still in production.
Minifigures
The Brickiverse includes a database of several thousand minifigures, each with its own page. A key feature is that every minifigure page lists all of the sets that figure appears in, which makes it straightforward to find which set to buy to obtain a particular character. Each figure is identified by its catalogue number as well as its name, and where available its page shows the number of parts it is made from and an image of it. Because a character often recurs across many sets and years, the list of appearances doubles as a short production history of that figure.
MOCs and designers
A MOC — “My Own Creation” — is a model designed by a fan rather than by LEGO. Many are alternate builds: models made from the pieces of an existing official set. The Brickiverse archives more than 10,000 of these, credited to over 2,000 individual designers. Each MOC page shows which official sets it can be built from, linking fan creations back to the sets whose pieces they use, and records each build's part count where available. Because MOCs are built from parts of sets that already exist, they are a way to get more use out of a collection someone already owns — a single box of bricks can often be rebuilt into several entirely different models.
Colors
The catalogue includes all 273 LEGO colors recognised by the community, presented in a dedicated color browser that separates them into solid and transparent colors. Selecting a color shows its official LEGO name and identifier alongside its hex value. Transparent colors are grouped separately because they behave differently in a build — used for windows, windshields, lights and other see-through elements — and are frequently among the hardest shades to source. Having the whole palette laid out in one place is useful for matching parts, planning a build, or identifying rare and discontinued shades.
Themes and years
The sets span 38 themes and stretch from 1949 to 2026 — more than seven decades of releases — covering classic themes, licensed lines and current ranges. Each theme has its own page, so all sets within a theme can be browsed together.
Tracking a collection
With a free account, users can track their own collection by marking sets as owned, wishlisted or favorite. Additional features include user-created shareable lists, public profiles that share an entire collection via a single link, and ratings for sets, minifigures and MOCs that feed the community averages shown across the site. A public profile turns a collection into a page others can visit, and a shared list can act as a buying guide, a wish list or a showcase. Creating an account is optional; the entire catalogue can be browsed without one.
Search and discovery
Alongside search and filtering, The Brickiverse offers curated discovery views: retiring soon, best value, new this year, biggest sets, most minifigures, cheapest, top rated, most owned and most wishlisted. A random-set button opens a randomly selected set for open-ended browsing. Search can be run by name, set number or theme and narrowed with quick filters and ranges for piece count, price and year, and the grid can be switched between larger and more compact card sizes.
Facts, sharing and languages
A facts section mixes general LEGO trivia with live figures drawn from the catalogue itself, so those figures stay accurate as the archive grows. Each set, minifigure and MOC has its own clean, permanent web address that can be linked directly and expands into a preview image and summary when shared to social apps and messengers. The interface is fully translated into eleven languages, and the complete archive is available without an account, without payment and without advertising — only the personal features require signing up.
How it's built
The Brickiverse is a single-page web application backed by a serverless API and a PostgreSQL database. It is a progressive web app: it can be installed to a device, works offline for previously viewed content, and loads quickly. Pages remember a reader's place when moving back and forth, and the same interface adapts to phones, tablets and desktops.
An independent project
The Brickiverse is an independent, fan-operated project. It is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by the LEGO Group, and it does not sell LEGO products. Set, part and minifigure data are drawn from Rebrickable and retirement information from Brickset; ratings, lists and collections are contributed by the community.
