Rent the LEGO Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D™

Reckon on 10 to 15 hours. The hull with the warp nacelles goes quickly; a large share of the 3'600 pieces sits in the saucer section. You build that in rings from the inside out, a long and very uniform stretch best spread over two evenings.

It measures 60 cm long, 48 cm wide, and stands 27 cm tall on the stand. The width is the surprise: the saucer overhangs the stand far to both sides, so a narrow shelf is not enough. It shows best on a sideboard or a table of its own.

Yes. The command section lifts off the rest of the ship, as in the saucer separation in the series. There is also a shuttle bay at the stern that opens, and a plaque with the ship's name and registry for the stand.

Nine: Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, Counsellor Deanna Troi, Dr Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Guinan and Wesley Crusher. They stand on a small strip of their own beside the model, not inside the ship.

Technically no. There are no exotic building techniques; the difficulty is the stamina for the saucer. One thing to plan for: the finished model floats on its stand and is therefore more vulnerable to knocks than a set standing flat on a baseplate.

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, the instructions, 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.

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.
