When describing the only complete BrickHeadz collection I know of, I mentioned a book that was published in Germany and is an unofficial BrickHeadz catalogue. Describing and reviewing it gives me two basic problems. The first is that I don’t have it. The second is the fact that I don’t speak German, which is exactly the language it was published in.
It looks like the catalogue was published in mid-2019. There is every indication that it can still be bought at this address, and its author is Lars Conrad, already known to my readers, the only confirmed owner of a complete BrickHeadz collection. There is surprisingly little information about this book online; you can also visit its Facebook profile, but nothing happens there apart from a single link to a video showing Lars’s collection, which I already wrote about in this post.
The LEGO House has a small library, and in it you’ll find the catalogue in question
A few more details come from a review of the book on promobricks.de. Without going into too much detail, it is a catalogue of the figures with a description, a review and basic information such as the set number, piece count, release date and so on. In the book you won’t find any photos of BrickHeadz sets, neither official nor private ones. Instead there are drawings. I’m convinced that’s for licensing reasons.
What might interest LEGO collectors and investors is the current (at the time the book was published) value of the sets given by Lars.
The book describes 79 sets, 93 BrickHeadz figures. MOCs by stormythos also found their place in the catalogue.

Each set also comes with a QR code leading to a page where you’ll find the current value of the set. It’s hard to say how much Lars keeps this data up to date. The review on promobricks.de says that from April 2019 a 360-degree preview of every figure should be available on Lars’s website, but personally I can’t see anything like that (October 2022).
Lars’s catalogue is a really nice initiative and I’ll probably want to get hold of it. At the same time, I’m aware that a product like this has no chance of success. There are too few fans of this series, the German language is also a big barrier (that can always be changed, but it generates further costs), and in the end the catalogue becomes outdated practically on the day it is released, because at least a dozen or so new BrickHeadz sets appear every year. The consequences are also that Lars seems not to be developing the online catalogue any further (he isn’t adding content or new sets), and it’s very likely that he isn’t updating the set prices either. Either way, the catalogue is a nice curiosity and it’s worth knowing that something like this saw the light of day, and that its author is one of the biggest fans of the series.

I now have my own copy of the Klotzköpfe catalogue! I managed to grab a used copy, but in excellent condition.
