Somewhere to keep track of your sets?

[crossmr]

is there a site (or park of this one?) that would let you create a profile and has a full listing of every lego set ever and it'd let you check them off and add them to your profile?

[Yoshi648]

Check out BrickSet.

[Forresto]

Brickset is very, very reliable! /i would check out Yoshi's link.

[crossmr]

Thanks guys, I'll check it out!

[Millacol88]

Brickset is perfect for keeping track of sets. For tracking parts, try Peeron.com. Its a bit slow but there is nothing else like it on the internet.

[Nikola Bathory]

Check out BrickSet.

I agree that BrickSet is the best site for this!

Brickset is fantastic - if you love Lego, it's a wonderful resource. Perfect for keeping track of the sets you own, and for those you want.

sorry to borrow your thread #0, but as a user of the VERY slow peeron (which is a nice site except of the speed), i would like to know if brickset is better on onther things than speed in this comparison...

What do you mean "other things"? Brickset is for sets. Try it out, and you will soon find any diffrences compared to Peeron!

The big differences are:

1) Peeron isn't kept up to date as quickly. It relies in part on the LUGNET database, which similarly isn't kept up to date as quickly as Huw (and any cohorts he might have) updates BrickSet.

2) Peeron gives you lists of parts, and can allow you to put in loose parts as well as sets. Brickset can't. However, BrickSet HAS recently added minifigs-- so you can look at the inventory of minifigs that you own, just not the other types of parts.

3) BrickSet is reasonably average speed. Peeron's slow.

4) BrickSet (I HATE this one) will NOT allow you to possess a set that they think isn't available yet. Peeron will let you add them regardless.

5) BrickSet has other "non-set" items that you won't find on Peeron. Decks of cards, pens, etc. Peeron tends to just have the "normal" sets.

Otherwise, apart from some little tidbits here and there, they're both pretty well on par. The reports, downloads, and imports they have differ a bit, but they're similar in nature.

For me the big difference is that if I'm searching for 10 of a given piece, peeron can assure me that they are somewhere in my possession (ji.e I know I have 12 based on the sets I own). Brickset, as far as I can tell, can't.

God Bless,

If Peeron acts slow for you (which it often does for many others), BrickLink also offers set inventories (in addition to the fact they are a major source for purchasing individual Lego parts).

Brickset and Peeron perform very different functions and there is absolutely room for both of them. I use Peeron and Bricklink for managing parts, and Brickset for managing and cataloging sets.

I see that Brickset offers an import function, but only from Lugnet. What's the format to use for the txt file?

I have my set list on Peeron, so if I knew which format is supposed to be output from Lugnet I could convert the Peeron list and import it in Brickset.

LUGNET uses 2 different formats, depending on who's doing the downloading. Both use newline separated records, tab-separated fields, and a few header lines. The fields order is what differs depending on whether you're downloading your own list or someone else's:

If you're downloading your own list, it's:
