Electronic inventory ideas?

[clarkdef]

Hi, I am wanting to make an inventory up of my Lego collection, I sat down and started sorting my collection and realised that it would take years :). I then thought of using bricklink to inventory my sets quick and easy, but since I don't want to sell it I decided against.

There must be a website out there where you can easily inventory your sets? If there isn't, there should be! All most worth paying for.

Any ideas?

Try Rebrickable.

Try Rebrickable.

Been looking at rebrickable but cant see inventory options. On bricklink there is a feature where you can part set, basically you choose a set number and it will list every part that set has in a inventory that's quite amazing. That's specifically what I'm looking for. If rebrickable has that function it's not too obvious.

Peeron used to do perfectly what you describe, but it seems to have been updated only sporadically over the last several years and has become less useful since around 2010 or so, alas. It's still terrific for older sets and parts, though.

I use both rebrickable and Basebrick. For inventory I like Basebrick best.

Just MHO, YMMV

I use Brickset. They rely mostly on Lego's own inventories which are not always accurate, especially when it comes to recently introduced parts, but it gets the job mostly done. I don't know how good it is for older sets because I usually only catalog sets that I bought new. They recently improved their part tracking functionality so it might be worth checking out.

It is possible to import your Brickset collection into Rebrickable, which is invaluable to my mocing process: I build a rough version in LDD, upload it as a private MOC to Rebrickable and can get an overview of which parts I might be missing. I can then hunt down which sets include these parts and make a decision to either get those sets, get the parts individually or change it to something I either have or is more easily obtainable.

You can use bricklink and just not open your store. You don't have to sell.
