A fantastic service and brilliant idea

A fantastic service and brilliant idea. We love Lego but have no more room to store sets. This gives us the option to choose bigger, exciting sets we wouldn’t otherwise be able to build. The customer experience is excellent too! Thank you!

Great but some important notes

I've been using them for a while now. It's great since I enjoy the building, and the disassembly is actually very fun too.
However, of the 6 sets I've borrowed, every single one has had missing parts. They've never been integral for the model - it can still be completed, just lacking some detail. But they don't bring much care at all into checking pieces.

Reply from Brick Borrow

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience - we really appreciate the feedback!

We do want to say that missing pieces is something we actually find to be very rare, and it’s certainly not the experience we aim for. We check sets thoroughly, but with small pieces occasionally going astray over time, it can sometimes happen.

If you’re happy to reach out to us directly, we’d genuinely love to investigate this further. Whenever a piece is missing, we always send replacements next-day, first class, so builders can carry on without delay.

Thanks again for being part of Brick Borrow - we really value you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Brilliant Brick Borrow!

This is such a great service. My husband signed me up for a year for my birthday and so far I have borrowed 4 sets (joined in November.) There is always so much choice and the filters mean if you are looking for something specific it is easy to navigate. Sets arrive quickly and i have never had issues with missing bricks. It's super easy to return sets, tape, return seals and postage labels all come in your box. I am impatient and track my returns to Brick borrow and the customer service team are very kind in confirming receipt and letting me select my next set. I love Brick borrow. It has been the gift that keeps on giving.

Brick Borrow are Brilliant

We have been using Brick Borrow for over a year and we have had some amazing sets. The Lego always come clean and complete sets and if there is a piece missing, they send it to you the next day. Their customer service is second to none.
We love it so much we upgraded to Master Builders. Thanks for the great work Brick Borrow - keep it up 👍

1st time using “Brick Borrow”

I’ve seen the company advertised loads of times on various social media, and never gone for it. I’ve been looking at different Lego sets for ages now, but with the price of some of the ones I’d been looking at and the storage space you need to display them; it’s just not practical. Then Brick Borrow happen to pop back up again. I ordered straight away!
Delivery was nice and quick with great communication.
All information for returns was clear and simple.
I’d 100% recommend the company

The perfect substitute to buying lego

What a fantastic idea and company. As someone who is autistic and possibly has ADHD I use Lego to keep me calm and my hands busy when I am watching something . I can't always afford to buy Lego so brick borrow has been the perfect substitute.

I have a been using them for over a year and the service is fantastic always reply promptly to any questions I have and problems are resolved quickly. They have a wide range of categories to choose from so if you just collect a certain category like star wars or cars brick borrow is the perfect subscription to build other sets that you may find interesting builds that aren't in your chosen category or will be to big/expensive for you to display

Easy to set up and chose a Lego set

Easy to set up and chose a Lego set. Delivery quicker than expected. Just such a fantastic idea. We have definitely run out of room for displaying Lego creations and it is so expensive. My son is a speedy builder so this is such a great idea!!

It’s amazing, you get to borrow sets small or huge, and return them and build all over again. It’s been amazing for me to get sets I’d like to see if I’d display it happily before purchasing. I highly recommend brick borrow!!

Amazing experience. Recommend

Great company. Such a good idea. My son loves choosing his builds and then making them. Really good way for him to be creative whilst not having to spend ££££ on the really big builds. Customer service is amazing too.

The service from Brick Borrow is great…

The service from Brick Borrow is great overall
Pros:
1. Great idea;
2. Great costumer service
3. Great selection of Lego sets
4. Arrives quickly via tracked via royal mail and free postage when returning the set

Cons:
1. It's bit like the hunger games to select what you want and it available
1.1 Waiting for weeks until you can pick a certain set
2. There are consistency missing bricks from sets, typically the smaller pieces that can support the structure
3. The website could use an updated way to sort or search for certain sets

Thank you for the detailed and constructive feedback - we really appreciate it and find it very helpful!

On availability, we currently have 950+ different sets in our library, with 700+ sets returning and going back live each day, so availability is constantly changing throughout the day.

With missing pieces, we do everything we can to check sets thoroughly, but occasionally very small parts can go astray. If that ever happens, we’re always happy to send any missing pieces out to you free of charge so you can carry on building without hassle.

Thanks again for your review!

Such a fantastic idea

Such a fantastic idea. You all get to the point where you have no where else to put the lego kits that are built and it becomes a nightmare trying to dust those that have been completed. Brick borrow solves these problems - you can still enjoy building a huge variety of kits without worrying about the storage. Choose, build, enjoy for as long as you want and then return. Ready to repeat the process again. And such great value

Fantastic idea, especially for Lego fans

I was honestly sceptical about Brick Borrow at first, it took me a while to sign up because of this however after reading all of the positive reviews I thought what the hell and was not disappointed.

I received my first 2 sets only a couple of days ago and built them both yesterday and can honestly say I was over the moon.

I have been a Lego enthusiast since lock down during Covid and this hobby has been an expensive one, plus I have ran out of space in my Lego room, but now I don’t need to worry about that with Brick Borrow, I can still have my hobby but not have the massive expense or take up any more space. Can’t wait to return these and get my next two sets.

Thank you Brick Borrow

Thank you so much Lyndsey! We’re really glad you took the leap.

It’s great to hear the first two sets went down so well, and even better that Brick Borrow’s helping you keep enjoying the hobby without the cost or space worries.

We can’t wait to see what you pick next. Thanks again for the support.

Absolutely love Brick Borrow!

Absolutely love Brick Borrow!
I love building Lego, but to build as much as I wanted I needed to find a way of making it financially and environmentally sustainable, and Brick Borrow was it. I get the joy of building sets I'd never choose to actually own, and I can then spend my money on sets I truely want to own.

Their customer service is great too, fast and fuss free. It's an easy process to follow, the most difficult part is choosing your next set as they have hundreds of sets of all sizes, age ranges and interests. They also have retired sets you want to build but can't easily buy anymore.

I've had 11 sets so far, (including a brand new set still in its numberd bags which was awesome) and have absolutely no complaints.
I highly recommend subscribing.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review - it really means a lot.

We love hearing how Brick Borrow helps make building both financially and environmentally sustainable, and it’s brilliant to know you’ve been able to enjoy so many sets (including a brand new one too!).

Thanks as well for the kind words about our customer service. Choosing the next set is definitely the hardest part - but that’s a good problem to have.

We really appreciate the recommendation and look forward to many more builds with you.

Fantastic if you are a lego lover.. especially on a budget!

Borrowed a LEGO set from Brick Borrow and it was actually really good. The set turned up on time, everything was clean and already sorted, so it was easy to get started. Nothing missing and it was all in good condition.

The whole process was simple and didn’t feel like a hassle at all. Returning it was easy too. Way better than buying a set you’ll only use once and then have sitting around.

I’d honestly consider moving up a subscription so we can borrow more next time. Good option for birthdays or just something different to do at home.

Thank you so much for the lovely review Aaron - we’re really glad you enjoyed the whole experience.

It’s great to hear everything arrived on time, clean and ready to build, and that returning it was just as easy. We completely agree - borrowing is a brilliant way to enjoy bigger builds without the cost or storage afterwards.

Thanks again for taking the time to share this, and we’d love to have you back for your next build.

Bad smell!

Signed up and got my first brick borrow set. I opened up the sealed bag ( which you can tell has been overused ) and it stank! A really strong musty smell like it’s never been cleaned. Refuse to touch it, so sending it straight back and cancelling my subscription, so unfortunate as it really does seem handy for those who can’t afford a new set, but hygiene must be a priority especially when you don’t know who’s handling them

Reply from Brick Borrow

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and we are genuinely sorry to read this.

All of our sets go through a ful disinfection process when they’re returned, so we’re very disappointed that this has slipped through the net. Hygiene is something we take extremely seriously, and this is not representative of the standard we expect or deliver.

To put this into context, we’ve now proudly sent over 100,000 orders, and issues like this are something we very rarely - if ever - hear about, which is why this is being taken particularly seriously. We’ll be providing additional training to our returns team immediately to ensure this does not happen again.

We are very sorry that your first experience didn’t reflect the care we put into the service. Thank you for raising it - feedback like this helps us tighten our processes even further.
