How books, magazines and merchandise work

LEGO books by edition, magazine issues by country and number, and merchandise by size and colour – each with its prices and a place in your collection.

The catalogue holds more than sets. Books are on the catalogue's Books tab, and a book edition has a page of its own per ISBN-13, with the publisher, the language and what came with it. Magazines are listed issue by issue, by title, the country they were sold in and their number, with every shop page BrickDb has read for an issue. Merchandise – clothing, bags, watches, homeware, stationery, key chains and more – is listed item by item, with every size and colour and the best current shop price for each. Signed in, you can record your own copies of books and magazine issues with their condition and the polybag or figure that came with them, and add a piece of merchandise the catalogue is missing.

Which LEGO books and magazines are in the BrickDb catalogue?

Books are on the catalogue's Books tab, and a book edition has a page per ISBN-13 with its title, publisher, language and what came with it, such as a minifigure. Magazines are listed per issue – by title, the country it was sold in and its number – and an issue's page shows every shop page BrickDb has read for it, each price with its currency, its tax basis and the date it was read. In your collection, a book or magazine copy has a grade from "As new" to "Poor" and says whether its polybag or figure is still with it.

Can I add LEGO merchandise that is missing from the catalogue?

Yes. Signed in, you can add a piece of LEGO merchandise the catalogue does not hold yet, with its name, kind, colour, size and, if you like, a photo. It goes into your collection straight away, marked as awaiting review; only you see it until a moderator has approved it, and then everyone does. Before you add it, BrickDb shows what it already holds that looks similar, so the same item is not added twice.
