Who wants the bet we'll see Is My Yellow Your Yellow on the front page tomorrow? Yellow and orange is another contentious issue.

Nice! You could put a button to save or purchase the ones that the user likes? Or pair up with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41345139.


Good suggestion thanks. I'm actually having discussions around linking it to Brick Ranker, so watch this space on that.

Thanks for flagging. I completely forgot about it and was away for a week, but it's fixed now.


Working on building the largest database of LEGO minifigure user ratings at https://brickelo.com/


I started this website to answer the question of "What is the best LEGO minifigure?". To answer this, I ask users to select their favourite between two randomly selected LEGO minifigures. Points are then awarded or deducted from each minifigure depending on whether they win or lose a match up. An ELO algorithm is used to determine how many points are awarded or deducted, based on the rating of each minifigure prior to the match up. Repeating this process over and over produces a list of every LEGO minifigure ranked from best to worst.


Hi, I'm Graham. I'm the creator. I've just started coding this year and I thought this would be a fun first project. Happy to answer any questions on it.
