Rent the LEGO Statue of Liberty

Allow 4 to 5 hours for the 1'685 pieces. The instructions split the build into five sections, first the pedestal, then the statue. The most time goes into the pedestal corners, made from lots of round and square 1 × 1 plates, and at the end into the folds of the robe.

The model is 44 cm tall and stands on a footprint of 14 × 14 cm. In width it fits on any shelf; in height you need an open compartment, a windowsill or a sideboard.

Not from LEGO. Set 21042 came out in 2018 and was retired after eight years, in summer 2026; new, it cost CHF 119.– in Switzerland. What retailers still have is leftover stock. You can still build it by renting.

It is one of the trickier Architecture sets, and its 16+ age rating is higher than most of the line. Almost everything is sand green or tan, and parts of the same colour are not always easy to tell apart in the instruction pictures. The folds of the robe use left and right curved corner pieces. Mix one up and you will be hunting for the mistake under the raised arm later.

From dozens of curved 1 × 2 slopes and curved corner pieces that were new in 2018. You attach them in small groups to a core of bricks with side studs, so the folds run diagonally across the figure. The crown parts had never been made in sand green before, and the broken chain at her feet is made of handcuffs.

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.
