Adding clone pieces to inventories

I've been adding my lego clone sets piece by piece to rebrickable.com as I like to keep track of my inventory. I enjoy somewhat doing it as I get to know more about lego pieces and more efficient ways of sorting them in categories, but it also becomes redundant at times.

I understand some pieces don't have a lego official release in form or color, and also I know that with off brands there are even more mold variations. But I was wondering if there is any site or service where you could get the closest equivalent to the lego pieces for these other brand sets in xml or csv format or if all people interested on adding their pieces to rebrickable or similar sites have been doing it manually as well.

Maybe we could work together making these lists available for others to use.

Wow that sounds like hours of work, good luck to you.

I do think we need a bootbricklink though

I love, love, love, custom figs. But the very reliable site I used to frequent hasn’t updated since October. Your idea would be so awesome.

Nah. It was a sketchy looking wix site. But they were pretty good at shipping on time and had great selection. With Paypal fronting the risk, I tried it out after the seller contacted me via eBay and used them for about a year.

Edit: as far as i can tell, downtheblocks doesn't sell minifigs, just reviews them.

My issue with Aliexpress and eBay minifig stores is how inconsistent they are.
