Choose a small, easy-to-check starting point

Use five sets you can identify confidently, rather than trying to catalog the entire room at once. Look for the set number on a box or instruction booklet. Names can be reused across releases, so confirm the number and the actual model together.

Add sets and quantities

  1. Open You → Collection in Superbrick, open the ••• menu, then choose Find a set. You can also search the catalog.
  2. Search by number or name and open the matching set.
  3. Record the number of copies you own. One complete set is one copy, regardless of its piece count.
  4. Return to You → Collection and check that the quantities match your shelf.
  5. Use Lists to group themes, favorites or future purchases.

Separate three different kinds of records

RecordExample
Owned quantityTwo complete copies of Galaxy Explorer.
List membershipGalaxy Explorer appears in a Space display list.
Future purchaseA castle is in a birthday list, but you own zero copies.

Count minifigures carefully

Superbrick separates loose figures from figures included in your sets. If you own a complete set and its included astronauts, avoid logging those same astronauts as extra loose copies just to make them visible. Record additional loose figures separately.

The app’s catalog can describe a complete set’s contents; that does not prove every figure is present in your particular used copy. Check incomplete sets against the actual contents you own.

Import only after checking the starting records

For an existing inventory, use a compatible Rebrickable CSV or BrickLink XML file. Import adds quantities to ownership and creates a list; it does not replace the collection. If you already added your five starting sets manually, exclude them from the import or reconcile the overlap afterward.

Access limits and Pro options are shown in the app. Purchase tracking and build tracking are Pro features; you do not need to record every detail to establish a useful inventory.

A five-minute collection check

  1. Compare your five starting set numbers with their boxes or instructions.
  2. Count copies, rather than list appearances or pieces.
  3. Check that wishlisted sets still have no owned quantity.
  4. Record extra loose minifigures separately from figures already included in complete sets.
  5. After an import, check quantities and build status before importing anything else.

Questions collectors ask

Can I track LEGO sets and minifigures together?

Yes. Keep set ownership and loose minifigures distinct so the same physical figure does not become two inventory records.

Do I need purchase prices to start?

No. Establish the correct set identities and quantities first. Purchase tracking is a Pro feature and can be added when you want that context.

Can I use this workflow on iPad?

Yes. Superbrick also runs on iPad. The same inventory checks apply even when the layout differs from the iPhone examples.
