## Description

LEGO Minifig Scan: BrickSearch is a Chrome extension that lets you identify minifigures inside LEGO boxes with a fast scanner, even offline, while you shop. It supports scanning multiple boxes at once, helping you confirm what’s inside before you open, and to track your collection.

Beyond scanning, Brick Search offers collection tools, price comparisons across retailers, set retirement dates, and exclusive Brick Search Plus perks like cashback via LEGO eGift cards, a Discord community, early access to features, and access to a vast LEGO archive.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for accurate minifigure identification and for helping manage collections, including avoiding duplicates and tracking retiring sets. However, major recurring complaints focus on monetization (paywalls for most features and data, login requirements, and daily scan limits) and reliability issues after updates, with several reports that scanning stops working even after paying. Overall sentiment is mixed: highly useful and precise, but hindered by subscription gating and reliability concerns.

### Pros

- Accurate minifigure identification from scans
- Helps avoid duplicates and track owned/wanted minifigures
- Can scan multiple mystery boxes at once, saving time
- Helpful for tracking sets and retiring figures

### Cons

- Paywall/subscription gating to use features and access data
- Scanner reliability issues after updates (scanner not working / unreliable)
- Login or access to data requires purchasing subscription
- Daily scan limit (12 scans) before upgrading
