LEGO prices fluctuate widely—promotions, daily deals, and store algorithms. In Brick-Tracker, you can see the price history for each set as a best-price chart: exactly one value is saved per day—the best possible total price on that day, including the discount off the MSRP. No averages, no per-store lines. Just the best available daily price as a trend.
How the Charts Are Created
- Data source: Prices are updated approximately every 2–5 minutes (or every 15–60 minutes, depending on the store).
- Best Price per Day: For each set, Brick-Tracker saves the lowest price found each day.
- Discount from the MSRP: When purchased as a set, Brick-Tracker also displays the best price in writing, including the savings compared to the MSRP.
What you come to realize along the way
- Deal Window: Typical discount cycles (often 35–38%) become visible. Lows = good times to buy.
- EOL signals: As the year comes to a close (many product lines are discontinued at the end of the year), you’ll often see discounts dropping and fewer retailers listed on Price Comparison sites. Instead of 35–38%, discounts tend to be around 25–20%—a sign of dwindling availability.
- Trends: If a set is being phased out (EOL) or becoming less common, the discount level offs and the best price rises—the trend line shows the direction.
