Rent the LEGO Great Pyramid of Giza

Allow 5 to 7 hours for the 1'476 pieces. Many of them are small: the village, temples, sphinx statues and boats are made of a few bricks and plates that you place one by one. The sides of the pyramid go faster afterwards, but are more uniform.

The model is 35 cm wide, 32 cm deep and 20 cm high. It fits on a sideboard or a deep shelf, and overhangs the usual 30 cm slightly. Because the chambers are open at the back, it is worth a spot where you can also see it from behind.

No. Set 21058 came out in 2022 and has since been retired by LEGO; it cost CHF 159.– new. It is now only available from resellers. If you want to build it once, you can still rent it from us.

No. The techniques are simple, and the 18+ age rating stands more for patience than for difficulty. The challenging parts are the many small pieces in the landscape and the removable outer shell, which has to sit neatly on the core at the end.

Yes. The set builds only half the pyramid, as a cross-section model. With a second copy of 21058 you put the two halves together into the complete pyramid. On its own the model is still complete, because the cut side with its chambers and passages is designed to be looked at.

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.
