MyBricks 3.0 Features

This major update seems small but it’s really big under the hood because MyBricks now supports a long awaited feature: minifigures. It was never intended to support them by myself because i am no minifigure collector but upon many user requests i implemented them now and therefore i had to overthink the whole database structure and added over 10,000 minifigures during the last 2 years.

add to collection
Filter Sets by Subtheme
Filter in collection
Lego-Insider Points
Minifigure-View

General improvements

  • new: Minifigures – as archive, in sets and in collections
  • new: LEGO-Insiders Points Value in Set-View
  • updated add to collection form in set view to support minifigures
  • set archive (Find Sets) sidebar: you can now filter by subthemes
  • updated set licenses (i. e. Boeing, Formular 1, Koenigsegg)
  • better catch no result archive pages
  • performance: general speed improvement on detail pages
  • moved the mobile user dropdown menu (holding collections) to the main canvas menu

Collections

  • Significant speed improvements … less loading times!
  • New Filter by Type to support Minifigures
  • Added the filter to navigation as well
  • updated figures column to hold count of figures and actual inventory
  • duplicate entry animation is now smoother and better to understand
  • general fixes regarding quantity values during cloning, editing and deleting
  • fixing end of table filter value errors
  • you can now use ESC-key to exit any popup (like selling an item)

Please keep in mind that the minifigure-feature is not perfect at the moment: it should work pretty robust but many minifigures are still missing and the trading prices might be not up to date. I need to add more coding logic to the price field synchronization. But i wanted to release it now instead of waiting even longer.

Future Plans & Ideas

  • rebuilding or facelifting homepage
  • ddding more vintage sets and magazine gifts to the database
  • optimizing code for large collections
  • adding items directly from within your collection
  • bringing back box photo scan within search from MYB V1
  • bringing back grid view of collection items from MYB V1
  • more languages like French or Spanish

Do you still miss something?
