Pley Is Like Netflix For LEGO Sets

For those who want to build LEGO sets without committing to the high cost of buying LEGO sets there is now a monthly rental option called Pley.

Pley is an online rental service that allows you, the builder, to rent sets for a monthly fee and return them whenever you’re done building them up and taking them apart again.

You get the joy of building (virtually) every LEGO set you've ever wanted to build without having to take out a loan, and they'll even forgive you for losing up to fifteen pieces, which is more forgiveness than you'd allow yourself after paying full price for a set.

The pieces are disinfected between rentals, their library is ever expanding, so any set you see is sure to show up in stock soon, and it serves as yet another example of how good kids have it nowadays!

We've been Pley subscribers for about six months - they did a Groupon around last Christmas. Pros: new sets to build about a week after you return the one you just completed. Cons: the coolest sets are in high demand, so you may be getting the ones on the bottom of your list much more often than the ones on the top; most sets are missing at least one piece, which is really frustrating to a seven-year-old; the sets show varying degress of wear (especially in the documentation); it's not inexpensive.

If you're a Lego maniac and love to build them for the sake of building, can do a couple of sets a month, and are OK building a house kit when you were really hoping to get the Death Star kit, it's great. Otherwise, YMMV.
