minifigs archive?

[fede2592]

Hi everyone!

I would like to know what do you think (and what the moderators think) about this topic

I am a new user of your website and I find it really awesome, there are many useful and detailed information about the brick's world..
But that is not the point, I would like to underline that in my opinion there is something you could do more.
I would find more useful to have not only a set archive but also a minifigures archive because they absolutely represent a large valuable part in a collector's collection.

Maybe it already exists but I don't have any infos about.
So it would be great to receive a reply about my consideration and it would be better to know that you will think to realize this proposal.
Hope that my suggestion will be taken in consideration and  also maybe appreciated.

I will post it in other sections.

Thank you for your time (and sorry for my english).
Greetings from Italy!

Hopefully you did not intend to come across as it reads.  I expect the english is being written wrong.  Don't forget this is a free website.  Best of luck to you, this website has been fantastic for me.

Appears like a google translate job to me, so I'll give him benefit of the doubt. I am assuming from the title (I didn't get much from the post) that you are looking for somewhere where you can calculate the value of your minifigures? You can see their average values on Bricklink by going to the Minifig Catalog:

Once you click a figure, for example, this guy:

Then go to "Price Guide Info"

Hope this helps a bit. The Price Guide on Brickpicker was developed to track eBay sales of sets as a whole (including the minifigures and all the elements in the set).

I'm with you fede. Hope they would consider it. A minifigure library with price guide. That would be great but surely requires a lot of work. Bricklink has it but they don't show price guide graphs like they do with sets here in BP.

don't derail the classifieds maybe a project for the 3rd year anniversary

Would it be possible to also have graphs/charts of the minifigure price guides in Brickpicker like we see with the sets?

I had no idea, and I was just about to start parting out some minifigures. Thanks!

The data here on Brickpicker is based on Ebay sales information.  For Lego sets it's fairly easy to aggregate sales using the sets' ID number or unique UPC code.  This is almost impossible to do for minifigures as there is no common identifying code for them that is used by selers on Ebay.  Even the naming of auction listing titles varies widely.

 

Like Eightbrick excellently pointed out, Bricklink is your best bet and you may find use in doing a few different searches on Ebay for completed sales.
