Way to identify minifigs?

[Martend]

Hi,

today it struck me, that I have problems indentifying several minifigs, so I am wondering what means people use here to identify them.

The Encyclopedia? Wiki? An app? I use a site like Basebrick at the moment, but it is painstaking to browse through all the themes when

you have no clou where the minifig came from.

Greets,

Martend

The website brickset works extremely well

I mainly rely on memory.

I'm pretty sure that if you posted pics of the figs you would get answers within a day. Most people here are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

bricklink. In fact, you can post here and get an answer in an hour or a day, but you'd like get one there in minutes.... that's what they do.

I've discovered a lot of the minfigures I had from bulk buys (mostly partially) by searching for the torsos in Bricklink's catalog, and then clicking on the links to find out what minifigures/sets the appeared in.

Check out the minifig identification tools at http://goatleg.com - you can enter basic information about a torso, head, or legs assembly and quickly narrow down the options in the Bricklink catalog.
