The Earth goes around the Sun, something that LEGO Castle fans will love, and more progress on the new LEGO Parts Guide.
The Earth goes around the Sun, something that LEGO Castle fans will love, and more progress on the new LEGO Parts Guide.
I’ve always wanted to play with an interactive model of the Sun, Earth, and Moon — and had the first chance by building this extremely unique LEGO Technic set.
Understand how LEGO works and sort like a pro using this free guide — it’s like a dictionary of all the best LEGO parts.
I’m excited to launch a completely new experience here at Brick Architect! The LEGO Parts Guide is a well-organized, beautifully designed alternative to sites like Bricklink or Rebrickable when you just want to browse relatively common parts that are still being produced, without being bogged down in printed parts, extremely rare parts, or parts which retired two decades ago.
I built this initial version with two audiences in mind:
This is also just the beginning — I’m eager to keep making this experience better by enhancing the page to learn more about each part, offering an easy way to print a LEGO Brick Label for a specific part, and adding more parts to the guide.
Your feedback will help me prioritize the most valuable improvements, so please leave a comment or email me your ideas!

I’m pleased to report that 2023 was a success at a personal level and in cold hard numeric terms, too. This month we look back, highlight some awesome articles this month, and some top picks for 2024.
120 new labels for a total of 1802 unique parts — should sorting your LEGO collection be your 2024 New Year’s resolution?
I’ve painstakingly reviewed every new LEGO part released in 2023, as well as older parts that I had missed. This is a major update to the collection!
I work hard to make sure that every update makes the collection better and more complete. This includes a lot of work that you might not notice to ensure that each part is placed at an appropriate location in the collection, since many people use the contact sheet as a guide when building and when sorting.
The new labels are almost evenly distributed across three categories:
Whether you use my guide to help sort your collection into logical groups, or print the labels to make parts easier to find, I hope this update helps you get more organized!
