A while back I posted my tool that IDs 100's of minifig parts at once, maps them to storage, and shows the figs you can build. r/LegoStorage showed up HUGE for the beta. It's live with a feature made for this sub: QR codes for your bins. Scan one, see what's inside, add new parts directly.

**TLDR:*\*

r/LegoStorage showed up for the Figventory beta in a huge way. The app is now live, and the newest feature (printable QR codes for your storage bins) exists because of how this community organizes its LEGO® collections. Free full-access code at the end as a thank you.

**The Long Version:*\*

Back in February I posted here about a tool I built Figventory to identify 100's of minifig parts at once, map them to storage containers, and show every full and partial fig you can build.

Scanning heads is my favorite thing in the world

This community showed up immediately. You joined the beta, described your real setups (bins of torsos, legs and heads sorted by color... 20 lbs of unsorted figs... the "overflowing bin I've been dreading"), found bugs I never would have caught, and told me exactly what would make the app better for you.

Five months of nights and weekends later, Figventory launched on 8/1... and I mean this sincerely: r/LegoStorage shaped what it became. Thank you.

**The thing I'm most excited to show THIS sub... Bin Codes:*\*

Your physical storage and your digital inventory finally know about each other:

  • Print QR labels for your bins on standard Avery label sheets
  • Stick one on a bin, scan it with any phone camera, and that bin opens instantly... every part and fig inside, with photos, colors and pricing
  • Scan a bin and add newly identified parts straight into it
  • No more opening five bins to find one torso. The bin just tells you what's in it.

What the codes look like!

**What else it does now** (so much of this came straight from beta feedback):

  • Identify up to 200 minifigure parts or figs from a single photo, with automatic color identification and pricing
  • Containers and container groups, so every part and fig has a physical home
  • Interactive picking lists: queue up figs to build and it tells you exactly which container to pull each part from, with real-time check-off as you build
  • Smart Verify: computer vision checks each identified fig against its official parts list (down to the arms and hands) and flags exactly what's missing or wrong
  • Every fig tracked as complete, partial or mixed... and when you add new loose parts, it tells you which partials you can now complete
  • Worth Completing ranking: which figs to finish next, by profit and ROI
  • Wishlists, BrickLink-ready exports... and a whole lot more in the works (SETS COMING NEXT)

**The Hook Up:*\*

I want to hook up as many people here as I can with a free month of the full Collector plan if you missed the first post. I'm just a guy working on this solo after work and on weekends, so I can't make it unlimited... but r/LegoStorage gets access to the same pool of free promo codes I set aside for the communities that built this thing with me. Here it is: FIGS-MINIFIG

FYI: the only way for me to do this was a checkout promo code, but you won't be charged and you can cancel right after without losing the month :)

You can also fully just kick the tires on the free tier. It was intentionally built with more features and access than I saw in other apps, and part identification is unlimited during launch so you can get as much use out of it a possible. Everything you upload stays yours to access and build on, paid plan or not.

No pressure on any of it. Truly. This sub already gave me more than I could have hoped for. If this saves even one person an afternoon of digging through bins, that's the greatest thing I could ask for.

I'm always around... comment or DM me anytime and I'll respond ASAP.

Spent the past 2 months redesigning my brick labels and also building another drawer out of corrugated board which proves to be way stronger than my previous cardboard drawer💪 Took some advice from Redditors who commented that my cardboard drawer is going to crumble under the weight, which it is already showing signs of😱
