Rent the LEGO Mercedes-Benz G 500 PROFESSIONAL Line

Plan on 7 to 10 hours for the 2'891 pieces, spread over several evenings. Most of the time goes into the chassis with its gearbox, differential locks, steering and suspension. The bodywork, doors and roof rack come at the end and go faster.

The model is 43 cm long, 20 cm wide and 22 cm high. It fits on a normal shelf 30 cm deep, but needs a good 45 cm of width. That makes it practically the same size as the Technic Land Rover Defender (42 × 20 × 22 cm).

Yes, LEGO sells set 42177 in Switzerland for CHF 259.–, and shops often sell it for less. It came out in August 2024, and Brickset lists the end of 2026 as its expected end of sale. After that, new copies only come from resellers.

It is rated 18+, but technically it is quite manageable. The demanding part is the chassis: the gearbox and differential locks have to be built exactly as the instructions say, or a lever ends up turning nothing. Check each function straight after fitting it, while you can still reach the gears.

Under the bonnet sits an inline six, and the gearbox has the positions D, N and R. On top of that come two switchable differential locks and working steering and suspension. The doors and bonnet open, a roof rack sits on top, and there is a ladder and a spare wheel.

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.
