Tips for Accurate Lego Piece Identification

Image quality and detail directly impact identification accuracy. Clear, well-lit photos showing distinctive features produce the best results. Multiple angles help when items have identifying marks on different surfaces. Avoid filters or heavy editing that might alter colors or obscure details.

Multiple Angles

Show top (studs), bottom (tubes), and sides for complex pieces. Following this guidance significantly improves identification accuracy and the detail level of results returned.

Count Studs

Stud pattern (2x4, 1x6, etc.) is the primary identifier for bricks. Following this guidance significantly improves identification accuracy and the detail level of results returned.

True Color

Natural lighting shows accurate Lego color—important since colors have specific names. Following this guidance significantly improves identification accuracy and the detail level of results returned.

Sellers price items appropriately and write accurate listings. Enthusiasts deepen their knowledge and appreciation. Even casual users satisfy curiosity about items they encounter.

For Collectors

Building a quality collection requires accurate identification. Our tool helps verify items before purchase, identify pieces in existing collections, and discover rare finds at estate sales, thrift stores, or garage sales.

For Sellers
