Rent the LEGO Himeji Castle

Reckon on 6 to 8 hours for the 2'125 pieces. The base, walls and garden go quickly. Most of the time goes into the stacked roofs of the main keep, with their upturned corners made from many small grey pieces.

It is 32 cm wide, 27 cm deep and 19 cm tall. The baseplate is almost square, so the castle needs depth more than width. A sideboard or a deep shelf is enough.

Yes. Set 21060 came out in 2023 and is available on lego.com for CHF 169.–. LEGO has not yet named an end date.

It is rated 18+, but it is not complicated. The demanding part is the sheer number of similar grey and white pieces in the roofs, which are easy to mix up. Good light and sorted pieces help.

Partly. The upper part of the main keep lifts off in one piece. Underneath is a simplified floor plan of the building; it has no interior furnishing.

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 is washed at 30 °C with soap after it comes back, dried, and checked brick by brick for completeness. Only then does it go out again. So you never get a set somebody else has been through unchecked.

After every rental the set is washed and checked brick by brick for completeness. After that 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.
