Rent the LEGO Santa's Visit

Plan on 4 to 6 hours for the 1445 pieces in nine bags. Most of the time goes into the interior with the kitchen, dining table and fireplace. The most uniform stretch is the snowy roofs made of many white plates.

The house is 27 cm wide, 16 cm deep and 19 cm high. With the Christmas tree, fence and path in front you need a little more space, such as a sideboard or a wide windowsill. The back is open, so place it where people can look inside.

No. Set 10293 came out in autumn 2021 and was retired at the end of 2023. New, it cost CHF 129.–; today you can only get it from resellers, usually for more. For a set that only really suits December, renting it over the holidays makes sense.

Not especially. The 18+ on the box is there because LEGO sells the Winter Village Collection to adults, not because of the technique. The angled side wings, which join the entrance with hinge plates, and the roof sections that sit on Technic beams need some attention.

Santa fits down the chimney. Drop him in at the top and he lands in the living room, knocking over the flames, which sit on an axle. The top of the chimney comes off. The light brick is in the Christmas tree: press the tree down and the transparent pieces between the branches and the star on top light up.

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.
