Why our LEGO calculators are different

Most LEGO calculators give you a number. We give you the math behind the number — and the context that tells you whether to trust it.

The fee math is real. eBay's final value fee is 13.25%. Payment processing adds 2.9% plus thirty cents. A typical UCS-sized set ships at $30–50 depending on zone. Calculators that quote "gross profit" and stop there overstate margins by 18–25% — a difference that regularly flips a real buy into a no-buy.

The comps are split. On any given set, sealed eBay comps and used eBay comps trade at wildly different prices — sometimes a 30%+ spread. Reading the wrong row is the most common, most expensive reseller mistake. Our calculators show both medians and force you to choose.

The part-out floor matters. Some sets sell sealed for years; others move faster broken into parts. The BrickLink part-out value isn't a hypothetical — it's the floor under your downside scenario. Knowing it before you buy turns a maybe-flip into a hold-with-confidence.

The retirement signal is the timing edge. UCS sets that retire often see meaningful price lift in the year after EOL. Knowing months early is the difference between paying retail and paying secondary.

Every tool here works on a single set, free, no signup. When you want this analysis on your full collection — saved, alerted on, and updated every morning — that's what BrickPicker Pro does.

Frequently asked

Are these calculators really free?

Yes. Every tool here works without a signup, for any LEGO set we track. Saving calculations, getting alerts when target prices hit, and running calculations across your full collection live in the paid Brickfolio product.

How accurate is the part-out estimate?

Part-out totals are derived from current BrickLink price-guide data — the same source professional resellers use. We refresh on a 3-week cycle for the full tracked catalog and propagate sibling-color estimates so coverage is near-total. Methodology notes are on the part-out page.

What fees does the ROI calculator include?

By default the eBay final value fee (13.25%), payment processing (2.9% + $0.30), and an estimated shipping cost based on the set's box dimensions and a typical US destination zone. BrickLink, Mercari, and Amazon FBM are selectable alternates with their own fee tables.

Where does retirement data come from?

Our retirement signal blends official LEGO end-of-life announcements (where available), Brickset retirement records, and a model trained on 15+ years of set lifecycles. The free tool exposes status and a window; the paid Predictions feature adds confidence intervals, portfolio-wide retirement risk, and alerts on new EOL announcements.

Is BrickPicker affiliated with LEGO?

No. LEGO is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, authorize, or endorse this site. BrickPicker is an independent market-intelligence platform built by the team behind the original LEGO investing community, online since 2011.

Why should I trust these numbers?

BrickPicker has been running the LEGO investing community since 2011. The team has authored two published LEGO price guides and been featured in USA Today, Wealthsimple, and Inverse. These tools surface the same calculations the platform uses internally — we just expose them for individual sets so anyone can sanity-check a buy or a sell.
