Use an owned-set file

This is a file import, not continuous account synchronization. Running the same import again increases owned quantities again; it does not replace the first result.

Check the XML fields

ITEMTYPE must be S for a set. ITEMID identifies the catalog set, and MINQTY provides the quantity. A QTY field alone is not the expected format. Parts and minifigure entries are ignored by this set importer.

<INVENTORY>
  <ITEM>
    <ITEMTYPE>S</ITEMTYPE>
    <ITEMID>10305-1</ITEMID>
    <MINQTY>1</MINQTY>
  </ITEM>
</INVENTORY>

Import in Superbrick

  1. Save a compatible XML export containing your owned sets to Files.
  2. Open You → Lists → New list in Superbrick.
  3. Choose Import from Bricklink, then Choose File.
  4. Select the XML file and complete the import.
  5. Review imported, skipped and parsing-error counts.
  6. Compare the new list and owned quantities with your source file.

Know what the file does not transfer

The parser uses set identity and quantity. Do not expect purchase costs, purchase dates, comments, condition, parts inventories or a separate minifigure collection to transfer. The import marks imported set records as Sealed, including sets already recorded. Review the build status afterward if your copies are built or used.

A figure included in a catalog set can appear through that set’s contents, but that is different from importing a separate loose-minifigure inventory.

Correct a partial import

Check unrecognized set numbers against the catalog and confirm that rejected quantities are positive whole numbers. If only a few entries failed, prepare a correction file containing those entries. Re-importing the full file also adds the successful rows again.

Keep a copy of the original XML and the import summary until you have checked the result. Your current collection and list limits still apply.

Start with a small collection checklist

Check one row before moving a large list

The sample row for 10305-1 with MINQTY 1 adds one owned set. If one copy is already recorded, the result is two. It does not mean “make my total one.”

A wanted-list export may describe things you hope to buy. Remove those entries unless you actually own them; importing the file does not preserve wanted status. Keep an untouched original XML file for comparison.

Questions collectors ask

Can I use Superbrick as a BrickLink collection tracker app?

You can bring compatible owned-set XML files into Superbrick and manage the imported sets there. It does not continuously synchronize your BrickLink account.

Can I import BrickLink minifigures or loose parts?

This importer accepts set entries with ITEMTYPE S. It does not transfer a separate parts or minifigure inventory.

Why did a quantity field not work?

The expected field is MINQTY with a positive whole number. A QTY field alone is not the required format.
