Best place to compare prices - well I think so!

Hey everyone,

My son and I have been collecting LEGO together for a few years now, and I got pretty over checking a bunch of different websites every time we were thinking about buying a set looking for the best price. We started a little weekend project to make my own lives easier and our LEGO collecting cheaper, but it kept growing until it became a proper website.

It's [**legopricetracker.co.nz**](http://legopricetracker.co.nz/)

I thought some other collectors here might actually find it useful.

It's completely free and you can browse without an account, but when signed in you can create a watchlist and track your collection and get email alerts when sets drop in price or come back online.

Here is a rundown of what we have built so far:

* Browse a catalogue of more than 27,000 current and retired LEGO sets. Obviously not every set has prices available, but you can filter to only show the ones we're currently tracking across NZ retailers.
* Compare prices from seven or eight retailers but we are looking at adding more over time **(these have now been updated)**
* View price history so you can see whether the current price is actually a good deal or just a "sale" that isn't really a sale.
* Build a watchlist and get notified when something you're waiting for drops in price or comes back online.
* Keep track of your own collection, wishlist and builds, including what you paid versus what it's roughly worth now (if you want to spend the time inputting this info!)
* Share your collection with a link if you want to show it off.

This isn't a business or anything. It's just something I've been building because I enjoy collecting LEGO and wanted a better way to keep an eye on prices.

If anyone has a look around, signs up, or even manages to break something, I'd really appreciate the feedback. I'd love to know what's useful, what isn't, and what features or retailers you'd like to see added next.

Here's my own collection so far:

Thanks, and hopefully a few of you get some use out of it!

Calling all Auckland LEGO collectors

Hey everyone

My son and I have been collecting LEGO together for a few years now, and I got pretty over checking a bunch of different websites every time we were thinking about buying a set looking for the best price. We started a little weekend project to make my own lives easier and our LEGO collecting cheaper, but it kept growing until it became a proper website.

It's legopricetracker.co.nz

I thought some other collectors here might actually find it useful.

We'd really like some feedback from real collectors for other features we could add - we are thinking a cost per piece widget next!

This has been such a cool project to do with my little one so here is a rundown of what we have built so far:

  • Browse a catalogue of more than 27,000 current and retired LEGO sets. Obviously not every set has prices available, but you can filter to only show the ones we're currently tracking across NZ retailers or look through retro sets!
  • Compare prices from seven or eight retailers but we are looking at adding more over time (these have now been updated)
  • View price history so you can see whether the current price is actually a good deal or just a "sale" that isn't really a sale.
  • Build a watchlist and get notified when something you're waiting for drops in price or comes back online.
  • Keep track of your own collection, wishlist and builds, including what you paid versus what it's roughly worth now (if you want to spend the time inputting this info!)
  • Share your collection with a link if you want to show it off.

This isn't a business or anything. It's just something I've been building because I enjoy collecting LEGO and wanted a better way to keep an eye on prices.

If anyone has a look around, signs up, or even manages to break something, I'd really appreciate the feedback. I'd love to know what's useful, what isn't, and what features or retailers you'd like to see added next.

Here's my own collection so far:

https://legopricetracker.co.nz/collection/share/e9f2a119-ece4-4425-84a2-68cf3664052f

Here is the best deal we've found so far (and purchased today!)

Thanks, and hopefully a few of you get some use out of it :)

NB: this isn't and won't be commercialised - we are just hobbyist collectors and this is our first ever web build that just happened to work alongside our hobby that we wanted to share. No affiliate links or returns at all.
