About this app

Wondering which LEGO® minifigure is inside the box—before you buy? Brick Search is built for that moment. We’ve just shipped a major update: a fresher look, powerful new features, and more ways to earn rewards—while keeping the minifigure scanner LEGO® fans rely on to peek inside blind-box packaging with confidence.

Since we introduced the minifigure box scanner in 2024, Brick Search has grown into the all-in-one home for people who collect, build, or shop for LEGO® sets. Scan codes, track your collection, discover what’s new, and make smarter purchase decisions—everything stays in one app that grows with your hobby.

The minifigure scanner is the star. Aim it at the code on the base of LEGO® collectible minifigure packaging to reveal what’s inside Shrek Minifigures—the latest blind-box series—and every earlier series in the same format. Hunting the newest drops or tracking down older boxes? Scan multiple codes at once, online or offline, so it’s just as useful in a busy aisle as it is on your sofa.

Stay ahead as a collector: see when sets are heading toward retirement, explore rich detail on LEGO® sets old and new, and follow curated stories from the world of brick collecting—expert takes, deep-dive articles, short videos, and crisp imagery that make sets and themes easier to understand and enjoy.

Your collection and wishlist live side by side—see what you own, what you’re chasing, and what’s on shelves now. When you’re ready to buy, Brick Search points you to selected, trusted retailers from each set page so you can compare options and check out with confidence.

Brick Search Plus opens the full experience: unlimited minifigure scanning, full access to retired LEGO® sets, unlimited collection and wishlist tracking, and rewards on eligible purchases through Brick Search. Your account syncs securely in the cloud so your data travels with you across devices.

From blind-box scans to a growing collection, new releases, and rewards along the way—Brick Search helps LEGO® fans build more and shop smarter.

Ratings and reviews

Extremely disappointed by the bait-and-switch. If the scanner requires a server API then rate limit it. If you need a revenue stream beyond affiliate links then use ads. One time cost would have been better (though likely still negatively received). Subscriptions are the absolute worst. Worse than requiring tipping for picking up takeout. Scanning was finicky while it lasted but usually eventually worked. May have considered tracking inventory but no longer.

It used to be great; super helpful. It's unusable now unless you pay $24.99 for a year or a monthly charge. It says you can get 12 scans per day for free, but even that isn't working. Every time I try to scan something it's just forcing a pop up to pay for a membership. I don't buy LEGO Minifigures often enough to justify paying for a subscription. I'd rather just leave my purchase to chance than pay for this wonky app that only even registers maybe half of the QR codes I try to scan.

If I could, I would give this app no stars. As if it wasn’t enough that you have to pay to use the app, it is garbage after paying it. i see most people using it for the scanner, but I wanted it as a way to look over my collection on my phone and keep a wishlist. Not only do half the products have no photos, but also there are so many sets that aren't even on there, so I can't even put my full collection on there. What is the money put towards? I feel scammed
