Editor of Brick by Brick, adult LEGO fan and collector
I'm Jonny Utah, the editor behind Brick by Brick. I'm an adult LEGO fan who built this site to answer the questions I kept running into as a collector: which set is worth the money, whether a retiring set is likely to hold its value, and what to buy for someone else.
Every guide and comparison here starts from the same sources: our catalog of official sets for piece counts, years and inventories; current market pricing; and community feedback from Reddit and YouTube. Where a page uses AI-assisted summaries it says so, and the numbers on it come from that data, not from the model. I don't build every set I write about, and the site never claims otherwise. When an article draws on hands-on experience with a set, it says so in the text.
I also build the tools on this site, from BlockTalk to the price-per-piece and display-space calculators, because I wanted them for my own collection. The full methodology is on the How We Review page.
