What kinds of objects work best?
Simple vehicles, product icons, furniture silhouettes, mascots, trophies, tools, sneakers, and other clear branded objects work best.
FAQ
The catalog starts with ready-made booklets, then adds custom work and compatible brick-kit guidance.
That is how ShapeBlocks keeps the ready-made product quick while still supporting a custom path and a physical follow-through.
What will get rejected?
Faces, full people, highly organic pets, articulated figures, messy scenes, and anything that will not stay recognizable after simplification.
What exactly am I buying?
Either a ready-made $5 booklet, a custom $10 booklet made from your image, or a recommended compatible brick kit sourced separately from a third-party seller.
How fast is turnaround?
Ready-made booklets are already prepared. Custom booklets go through manual review, and kit suggestions can be opened immediately after purchase.
Do you need more than one image?
No. This MVP is intentionally locked to one clear image of one simple object.
Are the bricks included?
No. Ready-made and custom booklet orders are digital only. We point you to compatible generic brick kits and show the build-specific parts guidance inside the booklet.
Do you use affiliate links for the parts?
Yes, sometimes. Recommended kit links may use reseller or affiliate links, and ShapeBlocks may earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
What the build includes
- Ready-made booklet orders include a prepared instruction export, structured parts list, and build previews
- Custom booklet orders include a personalized instruction export after review
- Recommended kit guidance points you to generic compatible brick sets that fit the same build family
- Build preview images and step ordering
- Simple sourcing notes and color substitution guidance when needed
Booklets and compatible kits
- Ready-made and custom booklet orders use bricks sourced separately
- Look for basic brick assortments rather than specialty or Technic-style sets
- Booklet builds are written for standard interlocking bricks with easy color substitution
- Amazon is the trust-first option, while AliExpress is usually the lower-cost option
- Third-party seller availability can change, so reseller links should be treated as guidance rather than a permanent catalog
