The BrickLink number is the unique code used to identify a minifig on BrickLink. For example, a number can look like sw1473, col452 or cty0561.

Step 1: Go to BrickLink
Go to the BrickLink Catalog.

Step 2: Select “Minifigs”
In the catalog, select the Minifigs category. BrickLink has a separate catalog containing thousands of different minifigs.

Step 3: Search for your minifig
Use the search bar to look for your minifig. You can search by:

• Character name

• Theme, such as Star Wars, City, or Harry Potter

• Details such as clothing, hair color, or accessories

Step 4: Compare the details
Carefully compare the minifig in the BrickLink listing with your own minifig. Some minifigs can look very similar but have different BrickLink numbers.

Pay attention to:

• Face

• Torso

• Legs

• Hair or headgear

• Printed details

• Accessories

Step 5: Find the “Minifig No.”
Once you have found the correct minifigure, look for “Minifig No.” This is the BrickLink number you need. For example: sw1473.
