Rent the LEGO Eiffel Tower

Reckon on 30 to 40 hours. At 10'001 pieces the Eiffel Tower is one of the largest LEGO sets there is, and the build is divided into four segments that are stacked one on top of the other. The middle lattice work is very repetitive. Most people build it over several weeks.

Finished it stands 149 cm tall on a 57 × 57 cm footprint. That means it does not fit on a table under a normal ceiling. You need floor space or a very tall sideboard. That is the real constraint on this set, not the price.

Technically no. There are no unusual building techniques. What you need is stamina and somewhere the half-finished model can stand for weeks. If you only build on the odd evening, plan for that in advance.

Yes, set 10307 is still in the range. At a shop price of around CHF 699.– and a metre and a half tall, though, the question for most people is less whether they can buy it than where to put it.

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.
