The Complete LEGO Minifigure Database
LEGO has produced over 18,600 unique minifigures since the first yellow-headed figures appeared in 1978. Keeping track of every figure, its current market value, and which sets it appeared in is a real challenge for collectors and resellers. That is exactly what the brick'em minifigure database is built to solve.
Every entry in the database is sourced from the BrickLink catalog, the gold standard for LEGO data. Each minifigure record includes the official BrickLink item number, the figure's full name, a high-resolution image, theme classification, and average used and new prices when available. Approximately 7,200 figures have active pricing data based on real BrickLink sales, covering the most commonly bought and sold minifigures on the market today.
How to Search Effectively
The search bar at the top of this page accepts three types of input. First, you can search by name. Type "Darth Vader" or just "vader" and every matching figure appears. Partial matches work, so "batman" will return every Batman variant across Super Heroes, The LEGO Batman Movie, and other themes.
Second, you can search by BrickLink ID. Every LEGO minifigure has a unique identifier like "sw0001a" for the first Star Wars Battle Droid or "sh0001" for the original Batman minifigure. If you know the ID from a BrickLink listing, a price guide, or a parts list, type it directly to jump straight to that figure.
Third, you can browse by theme. When the search bar is empty, a list of popular themes appears below it. Click any theme to see every minifigure in that category, sorted by value. This is the fastest way to explore a specific product line or find valuable figures within a theme you collect.
Understanding Minifig Pricing Data
Prices shown in the database are average used values sourced from BrickLink sales history. Used pricing is the most relevant number for collectors who buy and sell loose minifigures. Each priced figure also has minimum and maximum recorded values, which give you a sense of the range. A figure with a $5 average but a $15 maximum likely has condition-sensitive pricing, while a tight range suggests stable demand.
Not every figure has pricing data. Out of 18,600+ entries, roughly 7,200 carry active prices. Figures without pricing are typically very rare with no recent BrickLink sales, extremely new and not yet widely listed, or generic enough that they appear in dozens of sets and rarely sell individually. As figures gain traction on the secondary market, pricing data fills in naturally.
Most Popular Themes by Minifigure Count
LEGO City (including the legacy Town sub-theme) leads the pack with over 3,700 minifigures, covering police, fire, construction, hospital, and dozens of other city life categories. Star Wars is close behind with over 3,000 figures spanning the original trilogy, prequels, sequels, animated series, and spin-off films. Super Heroes adds another 1,200+ figures from both Marvel and DC. Ninjago and Harry Potter each contribute several hundred unique characters, while theme staples like Castle, Pirates, and Space have deep backlogs of vintage figures that hold strong collector value.
Collectible Minifigure Series (CMFs) represent a special category. LEGO has released 27+ numbered series along with themed series like Disney, Harry Potter, The Simpsons, and Marvel. CMFs tend to hold their value well because they are sold in blind bags and retired quickly. The rarest CMFs can command $50 or more on the secondary market.
Why a Dedicated Database Matters
If you resell LEGO on platforms like Whatnot, eBay, or BrickLink, accurate identification and pricing is the difference between leaving money on the table and maximizing every lot. A figure you assume is worth $2 could actually be a $30 variant. The database lets you verify before you list. Combined with brick'em's minifigure scanner, you can go from a pile of unknown figures to a fully priced inventory in minutes instead of hours.
For collectors, the database serves as a reference tool for tracking down specific figures within a theme. Planning to complete your Star Wars collection? Browse the full theme list, check which figures you are missing, and see current values so you know what to budget. The price guide complements the database by ranking figures by value across all themes.
How the Database Stays Current
The brick'em database is built on a local copy of BrickLink catalog data that is synced regularly. When LEGO releases new sets and new minifigures enter the BrickLink catalog, they appear here. Pricing data is also refreshed so that averages reflect recent sales rather than outdated numbers. The entire catalog is stored in brick'em's own infrastructure, which means searches are fast and the database is always available regardless of BrickLink traffic or downtime.
Comparison with Other LEGO Databases
BrickLink's own catalog is the original source of truth for LEGO data. It is comprehensive but can be slow to navigate, and prices require clicking into individual item pages. Brickset is excellent for set-level data and release dates but does not focus on individual minifigure pricing. Rebrickable is a strong resource for MOC builders and parts inventories, with community-driven data that sometimes includes figures not yet on BrickLink.
brick'em sits in a unique spot by combining BrickLink-sourced minifigure data with tools that do something with it. You can search the database, then scan a photo to identify a figure you cannot name, then add it to your tracked inventory, then export listings for Whatnot or eBay. No other database connects research to action in the same way. The database is the starting point, not the whole product.
Whether you are a casual collector looking up one figure or a reseller processing hundreds of figs from a bulk lot, the brick'em minifigure database gives you the data you need without the friction. Search, scan, price, and manage your collection all in one place.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many LEGO minifigures are in the database?
The brick'em database contains over 18,600 LEGO minifigures spanning every theme LEGO has produced. This includes standard minifigures, collectible minifigure series (CMFs), promotional figures, and theme-exclusive characters. New figures are added as they appear in the BrickLink catalog.
How do I search for a specific minifigure?
Use the search bar at the top of this page. You can search by the figure's name (e.g. "Darth Vader"), by partial name (e.g. "vader"), or by BrickLink ID (e.g. "sw0001a"). Results appear instantly as you type. You can also browse by theme using the theme filter below the search bar.
Are prices included for every minifigure?
Approximately 39% of minifigures in the database have BrickLink pricing data, covering around 7,200 of the most commonly traded figures. Prices include average used value, minimum, and maximum recorded prices. Figures without pricing data are typically very rare, very new, or have too few sales to establish a reliable average.
How often is the database updated?
The database is synced regularly with BrickLink catalog data to ensure accuracy. New minifigures are added as they enter the BrickLink catalog, and pricing data is refreshed to reflect current market conditions. Theme counts and figure details stay current through automated updates.
Can I search by BrickLink ID?
Yes. Every minifigure in the database is indexed by its BrickLink item number. Type any BrickLink ID like "sw0001a" (Star Wars), "sh0001" (Super Heroes), or "col001" (Collectible Minifigures) into the search bar and the matching figure will appear immediately.
What themes are covered?
The database covers over 70 LEGO themes including Star Wars, City, Super Heroes, Ninjago, Harry Potter, Castle, Pirates, Friends, Collectible Minifigures, and dozens more. Every theme that has produced minifigures is represented, from currently active themes to discontinued ones like Bionicle, Adventurers, and Space.
Is the database free to use?
Yes. Searching and browsing the minifigure database is completely free with no account required. You can look up any figure, check prices, and browse by theme at no cost. Creating a free brick'em account unlocks additional features like photo scanning, inventory management, and collection value tracking.
How is this different from BrickLink's catalog?
brick'em's database is built on BrickLink catalog data but designed specifically for quick lookups, mobile-friendly browsing, and integration with scanning tools. Unlike BrickLink's catalog, you can search figures here and then instantly scan a photo to identify unknown figures. The database also connects directly to brick'em's inventory management, so you can go from research to organized collection in seconds.
