Rent the LEGO The White House

Plan on 4 to 6 hours for the 1'483 pieces. You build three sections one after the other: first the main building, then the East Wing and finally the West Wing, each with its garden. Most of the time goes into the white façades, which are made of many small parts attached sideways.

The model is 47 cm wide, 20 cm deep and 11 cm high. It is low and wide like the original, so it fits on a normal shelf or a wide windowsill. You can also stand the three sections separately if you lack the space for all of it in one place.

No. Set 21054 came out in June 2020 and was retired at the end of 2023. New, it cost CHF 129.– in Switzerland. What you still find in shops today is leftover stock, and it usually costs a good deal more. Rented, you build it once without paying the collector's price.

Not especially. It is rated 18+, but that has more to do with the target audience than with the technique. Most of the walls are attached sideways, and at the portico you have to line the columns up exactly under the round plates on the roof. Otherwise the instructions are easy to follow.

Set 21006 from 2010 had 561 pieces and showed only the main building, without wings and without the Oval Office. 21054 adds both wings, the colonnades between them, the Rose Garden and the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. At 47 cm it is also a good twice as wide as the old model.

You pick a set from our collection and we send it to your door for free. You build it, keep it as long as you like, and send it back when you are ready for the next one. After a month at the earliest, with no upper limit. Then you choose your next set.

There are three options: the single rental at a one-off CHF 42.–, the monthly plan at CHF 39.– per month and the yearly plan at CHF 29.– per month. Included are the complete set, delivery to you and the cleaning. You cover the return, and the label is already in the box.

Yes. The monthly plan can be cancelled to the end of any month, with no reason and no notice period. You send the set back and that is that. The yearly plan commits you for twelve months and costs about a quarter less per month in return.

Every set goes through our quality check after it comes back, before it goes out again. We check its condition, wash the sets regularly at 30 °C with soap and keep track of whether every piece is there. That way a clean and complete set reaches you.

The sets are checked between rentals and washed regularly. That is why the numbered bags from the original packaging are gone, and you get all the pieces loose in one large wash bag. Up to about 2'000 pieces you build straight from the bag; for bigger sets a bit of sorting first is worth it. For the return you sort nothing: take the set fully apart and put every piece back in the wash bag.

Paper instructions and sticker sheets do not last many rentals, so we send the sets without them. The instructions for every set are free at lego.com/en-ch/service/building-instructions and in the LEGO Builder app. Search there by set number or name.

Up to ten lost small pieces are no problem and are included in the price. It happens, vacuum cleaners are merciless. We only get in touch for larger damage or missing large pieces. You do not have to go over the carpet with tweezers.

Orders placed before 14:00 go out the same working day. After that Swiss Post usually takes one to two working days. We deliver anywhere in Switzerland and delivery to you is free.

A LEGO set is usually built once and then sits on a shelf or in a cellar for years. With us the same set passes through eight to ten people. For the same number of sets built, that is up to 90 % less newly produced plastic.
