GOT A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION?
We've got the answer!
What's so good about a Brick Borrow Subscription?
If you're sitting on the subscriber fence, we've got three P's for you:
PLAY
PLANET
We think LEGO® is the world’s greatest toy but sets don’t come cheap. Here at Brick Borrow we want to help you have fun while being kind to your wallet.
From just £9.99 a month you can borrow the best LEGO® sets at a fraction of their retail price.
Your subscription helps us save the planet. Our mission is to share our love of LEGO® with thousands of UK homes so we can save tonnes of LEGO® from landfill.
- 01
Go to the 'Plans & Pricing' header.
Pick and purchase the monthly or annual subscription plan that suits you best.
Go to the 'Pick Your Sets' tab and choose from the available LEGO® sets.
Confirm your order and we'll dispatch this quickly and it will be delivered by Royal Mail via their Tracked 48 service..
Borrow, build and repeat.
- 02
You’re never too old to play with LEGO®, right? And If you’re over 4 years old (and we guess you are) any LEGO® set in Brick Borrow’s library will work for you.
But if you want a closer age guide, check the set’s recommended age listing. This can help you decide which set will be a good fit for you.
- 03
The Brick Borrow team knows how to keep the fun going! Feel free to build, play, and display your LEGO® set for as long as you'd like - no rush!
With our 'Mystery Set' or ‘Builder’ subscription, you can borrow one set at a time. When you're ready for something new, just send it back and we’ll process it, then email you when you're all set to borrow again.
Need even more LEGO® goodness? Opt for ‘The Master’ subscription, and you’ll get two sets at a time. Double the fun - go you!
Please note that with the Master subscription, you are eligible to borrow two sets at a time. When selecting your sets, you can choose two available sets from our library. These will be boxed and sent together, and they should be returned to us in the same way.
Plus, we offer annual plans for all our subscriptions, so you can save even more pennies while building to your heart’s content!
- 04
Once your set arrives, your Brick Borrow box will include all the information you need to return it. Inside, you’ll find a pre-paid Royal Mail Tracked 48 returns label, ready to use when it’s time to send your set back.
- 05
Squeaky clean!
We’re not a peer-to-peer marketplace, so you get our best retail service, rest assured, our LEGO® sets meet all UK and EU safety standards.
- 06
If you’re new to Brick Borrow, you must complete a three-month apprenticeship before unlocking access to our high-value ‘Hero’ LEGO® sets. During this period, you’ll need to demonstrate responsible borrowing behaviour.
Don’t worry—during these first three months, you’ll still have access to sets valued well above your monthly subscription cost. Completing your apprenticeship helps us ensure you can be trusted with our most valuable sets.
This policy is necessary to protect against theft and loss of high-value sets in the initial subscription period.
Immediate Access with Annual Plans
If you purchase an annual Builder or Master plan, you can access any available Hero Set immediately without completing the three-month apprenticeship or facing borrowing restrictions.
- 07
We don’t want anything to spoil your fun. That’s why we go over and above to make sure you get a complete LEGO® set on arrival.
Having a piece or two missing may not spoil your fun as you can probably get your build on anyway. But in the unlikely event that you receive a set with pieces missing, please let us know. Email: hello@brickborrow.com and include the number(s) of the missing brick(s) - found on the last page of the instruction manual. If you could include any pictures that might help us identify the missing piece, too, that would be super helpful!
On the rare occasion a piece is missing, our policy is that every Brick Borrow set should be 100% complete. We can send replacements straight to your door, or if the build isn’t affected, we’ll top it up once it’s returned.
- 08
Of course! We’re only human. Sometimes accidents happen and LEGO® pieces go AWOL. Again, please let us know. If it’s one or two pieces or under 10 grams we may be able to replace it from our library at no extra cost to you.
Please be aware, though, that we always check sets on return. If you send a set back with missing pieces over 10 grams or the lost LEGO® piece is rarer, you will be charged the cost price for the replacement pieces and a £5 admin fee. As soon as this balance is settled, you can borrow a new set.
- 09
No problem! Brick Borrow subscriptions are fully flexible to fit your needs.
Want to upgrade? You can do it anytime.
Need to pause? We offer up to a three-month pause, and when you’re ready to return, you won’t lose your access to those premium sets.
Want to cancel? Simply send back your set, we’ll check it, and then you’re free to cancel. Just simply email hello@brickborrow.com with your request to cancel.
Remember, whether you're pausing or cancelling, all sets must be returned to us first. We make it easy to keep building on your terms!

When you choose your Brick Borrow set(s), you’ll pay a flat fee of £4.95. This covers both delivery and return shipping—effectively costing you less than £2.50 each way.
Inside every Brick Borrow box, you’ll find a pre-paid Royal Mail Tracked 48 returns label. You can return your parcel by taking it to any local Post Office, or simply scan the label to arrange a convenient collection from your door.
Unlike many other retailers, we make no profit on shipping. In fact, we charge you less than it actually costs us to send and receive your set. We just want to make borrowing LEGO® as easy and accessible as possible!
