Lego® price tracker for set deals
In recent years, it has been quite common to create price alerts for Lego® sets on simple price comparison sites. For this purpose, a price threshold is set for any Lego set. When this threshold is reached, the user is usually notified by email. However, it often takes some time before the notification is sent and the offers are no longer available. Furthermore, this method is complicated and often no longer meets today's standards in terms of usability and functionality.
This is different with the Brickfact app: The Brickfact app allows you to easily create and manage Lego set price alerts. As a highlight, you can receive a push notification directly on your smartphone if you wish. This gives you a considerable advantage when prices are very good, which is particularly important when the best Lego investment sets are on offer for less than $100.
The Brickfact app is completely free and available for both IOS and Android.
In the following, we will show you step-by-step instructions on how to use the Brickfact app as a Lego price tracker.
Using the Lego® price tracker: Instructions
To be able to create price alerts, it is first necessary to download the Brickfact app and create a corresponding user account.
1. Lego® Set search
First enter the name of the Lego® sets or the set number in the search mask and then select it. You will then be taken to the product page of the set.
2. Create price alert
In the next step, you can create your Lego® Set price alert by clicking on the plus symbol at the top right.
You can then set your desired price and optionally add a note. If you would like to receive a push notification, you must also activate the "Set alarm" field.
3. Manage price alerts
If you want to adjust or delete existing price alerts, you can do this when you call up your watchlist. To do this, click on the heart symbol. If necessary, it is also possible to adjust the desired price here.
Note: As soon as the price alarm for a specific set has been triggered, the alarm is deactivated.
Lego® price comparison: find the best price
In addition to the function to create price alerts, the Brickfact app also allows you to compare prices from different retailers to find the best price. This is particularly useful if you want to buy a Lego set immediately at a good price without waiting for the price alert to be triggered.
To view the price comparison of a specific set, you need to search for the relevant Lego set and go to the product page, just like when creating a price alert. You can then view the prices of the various retailers and buy your Lego set at the best possible price.
View price chart of Lego® sets
The price chart function for Lego® sets opens up a whole new way of optimizing your purchase price. Just as we showed you how to set up price alerts with the Brickfact app and keep an eye on the best deals, looking at the price development of individual sets over time gives you valuable insights.
This historical price data is your advantage when deciding when the best time to buy is. You can see how the prices for certain sets fluctuate and whether a low point has been reached that represents the ideal time to buy. This is also particularly relevant if you are interested in investing in Lego.
The price chart of Lego sets is displayed in the Brickfact app on the respective set page under "Info" as a market value.
