Couldn’t recommend Brick Borrow more!

Couldn’t recommend Brick Borrow more!

There were lots of sets my son and I wanted to build but we have limited space where we live, so this company is the most fantastic thing. We have now gone through our hero apprenticeship and are allowed the bigger sets!

Sometimes there are bits missing but they are brilliant in sending them out or if it doesn’t affect the build you can let them know when you send it back.

Can’t wait for our next build!

Thanks so much for your lovely review Carrie!

We’re really glad Brick Borrow is working so well for you and your son - and congratulations on reaching Hero Apprenticeship and unlocking the bigger sets.

We appreciate your understanding when the odd piece goes missing. We always aim to get replacements out quickly, or sort it once the set is returned if it hasn’t impacted the build.

Hope you both enjoy the next one just as much.

Trustpilot is assessing this review in accordance with our flagging process.

Amazingly easy to order and receive

Amazingly easy to order and receive! Been wanting to do this set for a while and we can’t keep buying LEGO as we have no storage for it! Can’t wait to do the other sets! Thank you

Thanks so much for your kind review.

We’re really glad you found it easy to order and receive - that’s exactly what we aim for. And you’re not alone, storage is a big reason many of our members choose to borrow rather than buy.

Hope you enjoy building the set, and we look forward to seeing which one you try next.

Great lego borrowing company

They have nearly every lego set existing (so many many choices!) and the staff seem helpful and friendly 😊. I've only subscribed recently but so far I've had a great experience with them. Fast delivery too when they post the set you choose.

Thanks so much for your review.

We’re really glad to hear you’ve had a great experience so far and that the range and delivery have stood out. We work hard to keep the library as broad as possible, so it’s great to hear that’s coming across.

Appreciate the kind words about the team as well - we’ll keep it up.

As much as I enjoyed getting this…

As much as I enjoyed getting this subscription each month I was very disappointed when I was half way through each build and there was pieces missing. This happened on three occasions so it just wasn't a one off. I even gave the company a chance by keeping my subscription but all I was offered was free delivery which wasn't really appreciate considering I was spending over £30 a month on my subscription.

I really do wish they would do better by making sure all the Lego parts where in the box and checked which obviously wasn't because all the boxes I received the Lego parts where still together.

It's a very good idea and maybe I will try again in the future but at the moment I'm very disappointed in the amount of money I have spent on subscriptions to be only offered free delivery as an apology.

Thank you for your feedback Nicola! This is always really appreciated!

In terms of missing pieces, what you’ve described is certainly not the standard we aim for. While it can occasionally happen due to the nature of sets being reused, it is very rare, and each set is checked and rebuilt between rentals to minimise this risk.

We also have a clear missing piece policy in place - as soon as something is reported, we prioritise getting that part out quickly so you can continue your build with minimal disruption. We will always send the pieces out next day with first class delivery so you can continue on with your build.

We’re always working to improve our processes, and feedback like this is taken seriously. We hope you enjoy the rest of your subscription!

Absolutely love brick borrow I have just done my first set the Lego arrived quickly after picking the set I was halfway building when I noticed 1 piece missing and after emailing them was sent the piece within 24 hours which I was really impressed with.

I have now today returned the set, I think there is improvements to be made for example disassembly is really difficult for me as I have a disability and Lego is like glue. So I brought myself a Lego removal tool for a few pounds from Amazon which made everything so much easier, I would like to see brick borrow provide this for accessibility.

Overall though I love brick borrow and looking forward to my next set.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review - we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We’re so glad you’re enjoying Brick Borrow and that your first set arrived quickly, and it’s great to hear our team could get that missing piece out to you so quickly too.

Thank you as well for your feedback around disassembly. That’s a really valuable point, especially from an accessibility perspective, and it’s something we’ll absolutely take on board. The LEGO removal tool is a great shout and something we’ll look into.
Really pleased to hear you’re looking forward to your next set - happy building!

I received a membership to Brick Borrow…

I received a membership to Brick Borrow as a gift and was genuinely excited by the concept. On paper, it sounds brilliant — borrow expensive LEGO sets, build them, return them, and try another. Unfortunately, the reality has been very disappointing.

The main issue is availability. Nearly all of the major and most desirable sets are constantly out of stock, and it often feels like over 90% of the catalogue is unavailable at any given time. It gives the impression that they may only have one copy of many sets, which simply isn’t enough to support a membership service like this.

There is also no proper way to reserve sets, so you’re left repeatedly checking the website and hoping something becomes available. That quickly takes the fun out of what should be an exciting service.

It’s a fantastic idea in theory, but in practice it doesn’t seem to have enough stock to make the model work effectively. A real shame, as it could be excellent with better availability and a fair reservation system.
AMENDMENT
I owe brick borrow an apology, I was incorrect with my facts. Let me be more precise. My main interest is lego technic however I would also love to borrow the titanic and also the melenium falcon. But tonight is 3rd of May. I have looked at the lego technic sets. I believe that there are 77 sets out of which only 15 ( and they are the small sets) are available which means only 19.5% is available. I know im being very grumpy but this sounds great on the surface but only the none desirable sets seem to be available. Maybe some investment needs to be put in place so that you can have multiples of each set. Great idea in practices doesn't seem to be working at least for me

Thank you for your feedback Brian - we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

We’re sorry to hear the experience hasn’t quite met expectations so far. From what we can see, you’ve borrowed one set to date - a fairly recently released set from LEGO retailing at £54.99 - so hopefully you’ve already been able to see some of the value in how the service works.

In terms of availability, we just want to clarify a couple of points. Our library is updated every single day, with 700+ sets being added back in regularly as members return them. While we understand it can sometimes feel limited when browsing, we’re typically operating with over half of the library available at any given time, rather than the 90% unavailable mentioned.

We don’t offer a reservation system, as in practice this would significantly increase wait times for members. Instead, our model is built around circulation and availability - sets are constantly coming back in, rather than being held in queues.

A good tip is to set up back in stock alerts once you’re eligible to borrow again - this is the best way to get notified as soon as sets return.

We do hope you continue to explore the service and enjoy your membership moving forward.

Simple way to enjoy Lego without the need to spend huge amounts on sets that once build will sit and gather dust. The variety available changes regularly and you can take your time building and returning. Communication within the company is great and they are always polite and helpful.

Thank you for your 5 star review Louise!

We’re really glad you’re enjoying the flexibility of Brick Borrow - being able to build without the cost (or storage!) of owning every set is exactly what we set out to offer.

It’s also great to hear the variety and our communication have stood out to you. We put a lot of effort into keeping things fresh and making sure our members feel supported.

Thanks again for being part of Brick Borrow - we really appreciate it!

I’m returning the Dalmatian dog build

I’m returning the Dalmatian dog build. Fifteen missing pieces so far and now on page four of the last book and there’s so many more bits missing I can’t go on. I appreciate one or two bits can be missed when sets are checked but this clearly has not been checked at all. Something that should be relaxing has become very frustrating and exhausting searching for pieces that are not there. Emailing you about it but with so many missing bits and not wasting my time reporting each one. Very disappointing

Thanks for your feedback Susanne - really sorry to hear this latest build has been frustrating!

We do have a Missing Piece Policy in place for situations like this. If anything is missing, we’ll send replacement parts out First Class (next working day) so you can continue your build as quickly as possible and complete the set.

Because of the volume of pieces across our sets, the occasional part can go astray between builds, but we’re always here to get that resolved quickly for you.

We look forward to picking up your email and resolving.

Thank you!

I honestly can’t recommend Brick Borrow enough. Being housebound due to my health has been incredibly challenging, but their product has made such a huge difference in my day-to-day life. It’s given me a sense of normality and something to genuinely enjoy, which I didn’t expect to find so easily.

What really stands out, though, is their support team — absolutely brilliant. They’re responsive, kind, and genuinely care about helping you get the most out of the experience. It’s rare to come across that level of service these days.

All in all, it’s been an absolute game-changer for me — easily one of the best things I’ve come across in a long time. Couldn’t be happier!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this - it genuinely means a lot to all of us.
We’re really glad Brick Borrow has been able to bring some enjoyment and a sense of normality to your day. That’s exactly why we built this, so hearing that it’s made a real difference is incredibly special for the whole team.

I’ll also make sure your kind words are passed on to our support team - they’ll be over the moon to hear this. We put a lot of care into making sure members feel supported, so it’s great to know that’s coming through.

Thanks again for being part of Brick Borrow, and we hope you continue to enjoy many more builds with us.

Brilliant idea, maybe not fully realised

I think this is a brilliant idea however unsure with the current execution. Once finding out about the company I paid for a years gift for my sister, who I must say has really been enjoying completing these monthly. However almost every set has had missing pieces, often integral pieces making the full functionality of the final build void. I do understand that it is inevitable for these things to happen now and then but should not be happening consistently every month. Yes the company offers to send the missing bits but taking that option would then be waiting an additional week with the same set effectively wasting what could’ve been a fresh rental.
As well as this she is never able to rent the sets she wants (hero sets) as these are always out of stock. Again I understand this is inevitable but perhaps the company should not advertise these as much as they do on their site if they have such limited stock available.
All in all this is a great idea but I fully regret spending out for years subscription to what feels like a company who hasn’t quite got it all figured out yet.

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed review, Joe - and it’s great to hear your sister has been enjoying the builds themselves.

We do want to address a few of your points, as some of what you’ve described doesn’t fully reflect her overall experience with us.

In the 5 months she’s been a member (since November), she’s borrowed 8 sets with a total retail value of £534.92, whilst using just £53 of her subscription. That level of value is exactly what the service is designed to deliver - access to hundreds of pounds worth of sets for a small monthly cost.

On missing pieces - you’re absolutely right that this shouldn’t be happening regularly, and we take it seriously when it does. That said, it isn’t something that happens consistently across our service. When pieces are missing, replacements are sent next day, first class, and are typically with members within a couple of days so builds can continue with minimal interruption.

Regarding the larger “hero” sets, these are our most in-demand items and are constantly circulating between members. They rarely sit available for long, which is why we always recommend setting up back-in-stock alerts - this is how many members regularly secure these sets each month.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be if expectations don’t match the experience, and if there’s anything ongoing affecting your sister’s builds, we’d really encourage her to reach out so we can look into it properly and put it right.

Great Customer Service

I've been with Brick Borrow for 12 months now and it has been a great experience. I truly feel that I have had great value for money as I love lego but don't have the space to store the sets. Customer Service is exceptional and they always answer quickly. I would highly recommend them if you love lego

Amazing concept, great service

Such a great idea and having a fantastic experience so far so much so that I am upgrading my subscription half way through the year. Customer service is fantastic I haven’t had to wait longer than an hour for a response to any email sent and the communication is always friendly and helpful. As for the LEGO sets themselves it’s a fantastic concept if you’re a LEGO lover and either can’t afford endless sets worth hundreds of pounds or simply don’t have the storage space, or both! You can build a variety of sets you might not otherwise buy and the delivery and return delivery instructions are so simple to follow. All in all great value, great service, great concept and couldn’t recommend it highly enough

LEGO lovers dream!

I love this concept and the service is always great! I always get a quick response to any contact I make.
The nature of this service sometimes means missing pieces, but they always arrive so quickly once I have reported this.
I would 100% recommend this to any LEGO lover running out of space to store or display! I now get to build any set that maybe I wouldn’t usually consider buying!
