How accurate is the brick'em scanner?

brick'em is trained on 18,600+ minifigures using BrickLink's complete catalog. You get the exact BrickLink ID, name, and market price for every figure scanned.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Start your 14-day free trial with no payment due today. Cancel anytime during the trial and you won't be charged.

What platforms can I export to?

Whatnot, eBay, BrickLink, Shopify, BrickStore, and generic CSV. Each export is formatted specifically for that platform so you can bulk upload immediately.

Is brick'em just for minifigures?

No. brick'em identifies both minifigures and individual parts. The parts scanner identifies pieces by color and looks up prices per variant.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel or downgrade from your settings page. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no questions asked.

I already have a system that works. Why switch?

If your current process handles 200+ figures a week without eating your weekends, keep it. But if you're spending hours on manual lookups, brick'em does the same work in minutes. Most sellers try the 14-day free trial and never go back.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most expensive LEGO Lord of the Rings minifigure?

Bilbo Baggins - Blue Coat (lor057) is the most expensive Lord of the Rings minifigure, selling for an average of $225.90 on BrickLink. In second place is Grima Wormtongue at $195.21. These prices are based on actual completed sales, not listing prices, so they reflect what buyers are genuinely paying.

How are BrickLink minifigure prices calculated?

The prices on this page are 6-month rolling averages from completed BrickLink sales. We use averages rather than last-sold prices because individual sales can be anomalies — someone might sell a figure cheap to move it fast, or a bidding war might inflate a single sale. The 6-month window smooths this out and gives you a realistic expectation of what you'll get when you list.

How do I know if I have a valuable Lord of the Rings minifigure?

The fastest way is to use the brick'em scanner — take a photo of the figure and it will identify it and show the current market price. If you prefer manual lookup, check the BrickLink ID printed on the torso or legs (you may need to check the parts against BrickLink's catalog). The figures on this page are the ones worth the effort of identifying and listing individually rather than selling in a bulk lot.

Should I sell valuable minifigures individually or in lots?

Any figure worth more than $10-15 is almost always better sold individually on BrickLink. Buyers searching for specific figures will pay full market price, whereas bulk lot buyers price conservatively since they're taking a risk on what's included. For the figures on this ranking, individual listings are the way to go — the extra time to photograph and list each one pays for itself many times over at these price points.
