The Earl of Bricks Review

Worth it

Should I use The Earl of Bricks?

The Earl of Bricks - theearlofbricks.com

· 1 week ago

A one-person LEGO review site with a free collection-tracking app — use it if you buy LEGO sets; it costs nothing. Skip it entirely if you're evaluating software: it is not a product for teams, businesses, or anyone needing vendor support.

Best for

  • AFOLs tracking collections free
  • Pre-purchase LEGO set research
  • Gift buyers picking by age or budget
  • Alt-brands comparison shoppers (Lumibricks, LetBricks)

Not for

  • Any team or business buying software
  • Anyone needing SLAs, audits, or vendor accountability
  • Buyers who distrust affiliate-linked recommendations

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Affiliate links to retailers fund the site — check disclosed incentives before trusting 'worth buying' verdicts.

medium

Guess: single-operator site — free app's longevity depends on one hobbyist, no roadmap or SLA.

low

Email-only support; site cites roughly two-day response times.
