Hide Sets from Your Public Page
November 9 2026- Hide from Public Page: Sharing your collection but want to keep a few sets to yourself? Open any set and flip the new Hide from public page switch. Hidden sets stay in your collection and your stats. They just won't appear on your shared page or in its set count.
- Bulk Hide and Show: Need to hide several sets at once? Tap Select on the Collection page and pick your sets. Then choose Hide from public page or Show on public page from Bulk Edit.
- Photo Sharing Wording: The photo option on the set form now reads Show my photo on my public page. That is what it has always done. If it's unchecked your public page shows the catalog image instead.
- Edit Form Fix: The edit form could show slightly out-of-date details if you had just changed a set from its popup or with Bulk Edit. It now loads the latest version every time.
4.7
Expanded Catalog Previews
November 3 2026- Tap any set in a brand catalog search to open a larger view before adding it.
- See every catalog photo for the set, and tap the main photo to view it full screen.
- See all of the set's details in one place, including set number, theme, release date, piece count, minifigures, LEDs, bags, printed bricks, build time and description.
- Labels show if a set is already in your collection or on your wishlist.
- Select a set or add it to the form straight from the larger view, or go back to keep browsing.
4.6
Reobrix Catalog
October 18 2026- The Reobrix catalog is up! Quickly select your Reobrix sets from the catalog to add them to your collection or wishlist. No need to use the Add Set page. You can access the brand catalogs directly from the Dashboard or on the Add Set page.
4.5
Brickset Import and CSV Exports
September 15 2026- Brickset Import: Already tracking your LEGO sets on Brickset? Choose Import Brickset from the Import menu, sign in with your Brickset account, and review everything before it's added, with sets you already own skipped automatically. Your password is only used to sign in and is never stored.
- Import Menu: The Collection page now has a single Import menu for CSV, Rebrickable, and Brickset imports, just like the Dashboard.
- CSV Exports: Collection exports now download as a CSV file, which opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, and just about any other spreadsheet app.
- Mould King Catalog: Mould King joins Lumibricks and Pantasy with its own catalog. Open Catalogs on the Dashboard to search more than 700 Mould King sets and add them with the details already filled in.
4.4
Navigation, Swiping, and Accessibility
September 10 2026- Cleaner Navigation: The menu got a full reorganization. The bottom bar now holds the essentials and the side menu is slimmed down into clear groups, so everything is easier to find. Touch targets are bigger and the menu now closes properly every time.
- Better Contrast: Text and icons throughout the app are darker and easier to read, including buttons, chart labels, and the bottom navigation.
- Image Swiping: When a set has multiple photos, you can now swipe through them right on the set card and in the full-screen viewer instead of tapping arrows. Tap any image to see it full size.
- Wishlist from Community Stats: Spotted something you like under Most Owned Sets? You can now add it straight to your wishlist from the set card without leaving the page.
- Barcode Scanner Tune-Up: The scanner got a round of improvements to make results faster and more accurate. If a box has been stubborn before, give it another try.
- Scroll Fix: Pages now always open at the top when you navigate somewhere new, instead of dropping you partway down.
- Sorting Fix: Your collection now sorts strictly by the date you added each set. Editing a set will no longer shuffle old sets to the top of your collection or Recent Additions.
- Screen Reader Support: I made a round of improvements for TalkBack and VoiceOver users. The image viewer now announces each photo properly, dashboard cards read in a single pass, and the Public Collection toggle is clearly labeled.
4.3
Faster Editing and Price Breakdowns
August 19 2026- Edit After Adding: When you add sets from the Lumibricks or Pantasy catalogs, the confirmation now stays on screen with an Edit Details button next to each set. Jump straight into adding purchase info without hunting through your collection. If you added several sets, saving one takes you right to the next in line.
- Add More: Not done yet? Click Add More from the confirmation screen to keep adding sets, and the list will keep track of everything from that session.
- Tax & Shipping: The Purchase Price field now has a second box for tax and shipping, so you can keep the pre-tax price and extra costs separate while seeing the grand total. These amounts are included in your Analytics spending totals and exported reports.
4.2
Spinners, Badges, Ratings, and New Releases
August 15 2026- Backlog Spinner: Can't decide what to build next? Head to the new spinner from your Dashboard and let fate pick a set from your backlog. One tap moves the winner straight to In Progress.
- Badges: You can now earn 19 achievement badges for growing your collection, finishing builds, exploring new brands, and more. See your earned badges and your progress toward the rest on the Analytics page. Earned badges also show off on your public profile.
- Top Rated Sets: Community Stats now features the sets our collectors rate the highest. Rate the sets in your collection to help crown the community favorites.
- New Releases: The Dashboard now shows the latest sets released by Lumibricks and Pantasy in the past two weeks, so you'll never miss a new drop.
4.1
Photo galleries, currency defaults, and more ways to organize
July 15 2026- Photo galleries for your sets: you can now add more than one photo to any set — the box, extra angles, or close-up shots. Arrange them in the order you like and browse them all in a gallery right on the set's page.
- Set your default currency: choose your currency once in Account settings, and it's filled in automatically every time you add a new set — no more picking it each time.
- Currency everywhere you'd expect: your spending totals and analytics now show in your preferred currency, so everything matches.
- Storage locations: note where each set is kept — a shelf, a bin, a room — so it's easy to track down later.
- Condition tracking: record whether a set is new and sealed, opened, gently used, and more.
- Mark sets "For Sale": flag any set you're selling, see it marked with a badge, and filter your collection to view everything that's for sale at a glance.
- Bonus: your storage location, condition, and "For Sale" status now come along when you export your collection to a spreadsheet.

Custom Wishlists

3.9
Wishlist and Purchase Date

- Purchase date field on Add Set page updated to include option for full or partial dates.
3.8
Set Lookup, Catalogs, Resources, Analytics
June 1 2026- Improved the AI set lookup so adding sets is faster and more reliable. The first time a set is looked up, BrickNexus now remembers the result, so anyone adding that same set afterward gets the details instantly. Fixed a few brands that weren't matching correctly, and tightened things up so the app won't guess at a piece count it can't confirm.
- Refreshed the UI/UX of the Lumibricks and Pantasy Catalogs.
- Added a Resource Links navigation item to the left side menu.
- Added an Export Report to the Analytics page.
3.7
Share your Collection!
May 27 2026- Go to the Account and Sign Out page, toggle on Public Collection, and copy your shareable link
- Public Collection links shared to Facebook may not have a preview - this is a Facebook issue
3.6
Variation Tracking
May 22 2026- Variation Linking is now live. Lumibricks has been re-releasing Funwhole sets under new set numbers, and this update connects them. Every re-released set displays its alternate number in the details view, search works with either number, and the variation number is a clickable link that takes you to the set in your collection if you own it, or to a pre-filled Add Set page if you don't.
3.5
Custom Set Images
May 19 2026- You can now upload a custom image to any set in your collection by editing the set and using the "Upload Image" button; it'll override the catalog image wherever that set appears for you, and won't affect anyone else's view. A "Reset to catalog image" button shows up once you've added one, so it's easy to revert.
3.4
New Blog and Username Update
May 18 2026- Blog section added. This space will hold admin posts (set reviews, deep dives), guest posts from users, and features on other creators in the alt-brick community. Any registered user can like and comment on a blog.
- Usernames: you can set yours on the Account & Sign Out page. If you don't pick one, the system generates a generic name for you.
3.3
BrickNexus Agent and Custom Tags Library
May 16 2026- BrickNexus now has a chat agent. He can answer questions about your collection, help troubleshoot, walk you through adding sets, and even help you contribute community data. Click on the minifig icon at the bottom of the screen to give him a try.
- Added a "Your tags" row in the Tags section that surfaces all previously-used custom tags from your collection as one-click chips.
3.2
Brand Storefronts Now Available
May 9 2026- Added a new compact "Shop on Amazon" expandable button to the Dashboard. Quickly browse official Lumibricks and Pantasy storefronts on Amazon. BrickNexus is an Amazon Associate — purchases through these links help support the app at no extra cost to you.

Set Data and Rebrickable Import Enhancements
April 28 2026- Lumibricks & Pantasy: tap Search Lumibricks/Pantasy Catalog, pick your set, and the catalog details fill in automatically.
- Any other brand: enter the brand and set number, then tap the search icon to look up the details.
- If other collectors have already submitted data for that exact set, any blank fields fill in on their own as you type — no clicks needed.
- You can edit anything before saving.
- Rebrickable Import: You can pick a default status for the whole Rebrickable import (Backlog, On Order, In Progress, Built, or For Parts Only). Backlog is the new default, since that fits most large unbuilt collections better. Each set in the preview list now has a checkbox. You can select multiple sets, choose a status from the bulk action bar, and apply it to just that group. So if most of your collection is in the backlog but a portion is already built, you can handle both in one pass before importing. Each row shows the status it will be imported with.
2.9
Help Build the Database — Community Contributions
April 26 2026- You can now help keep the BrickNexus catalog accurate.
- Submit a correction through the new Submit Data Correction page.
- Fix one set at a time using a quick form, or submit corrections for many sets at once with a CSV.
- Every submission is reviewed by an admin before it goes live, so the catalog stays accurate and trustworthy.
- Corrections improve the shared catalog data, which can also clean up details on sets you already own. This isn't how you add a new set, though — for that, use Add Set on the Dashboard.
- Every approved contribution helps every other collector.
2.8
Polish & Reliability
April 26 2026- Set images now reliably populate when adding non-LEGO brand sets — no more missing photos for brands like Mould King, CaDA, Reobrix, and others
- Refreshed the admin contributions page with a cleaner, more colorful look
2.7
Rebrickable Import
April 25 2026- Import your entire Rebrickable collection directly into BrickNexus in seconds. Connect with your Rebrickable credentials, and we'll pull all your sets. Smart duplicate detection automatically skips sets already in your collection — no more manual checking. Perfect for migrating from Rebrickable or syncing your complete inventory across platforms.

Lumibricks Set Specs
April 25 2026- Three new fields are now tracked for Lumibricks sets: LED count, bag count, and printed bricks. Data is pulled automatically from the Lumibricks catalog when you add a set, and existing sets have already been updated where data was available. Note: F9xxx series sets don't have individual product pages on lumibricks.com, so those fields may be empty — you can always fill them in manually by editing the set.
2.5
Data Fields and Additional Brands
April 22 2026- Quantity can now be fully cleared via backspace, and the Clear buttons on date fields are always visible (dimmed when empty) so you can reset an accidentally-set date anytime
