When your child or children are done playing with the toys, simply return them to the original packaging you received it and seal the mailer that the toys came in. Then drop the mailer at any USPS location or at your office for USPS collection. It's as simple as that. 🙂

Managing your toy rentals

How do I select my next toys?

After you shipped your previous package, it's time to select new toys! sign into your LEGO account and you’ll see a button "Choose Toys" (which we refer to as the magic button 🙂 )

We start by showing you what toys are available that matches your preferences.

Our inventory grows each month and is being updated several times a day as new toys get checked in and others go out, so if you don’t see a toy that you want right away make sure to check back later.

Tip
Mornings are when a large portion of toys are checked in, often this means better toy selection!

*Once you select your first toy you will be ask to select the second toy. Live inventory is only available on your account when you are eligible to select toys.

How do I select a toy? (step by step)

We will notify you via email when it's time to select a new toys. While logged into your account click Choose Toy button at the top of the page to select your 1st and then 2nd toy.

Here you will see your credit balance and the available toys that match your preferences.

 

Simply click "pick this toy" to select the toy you want, you will be taken to a checkout page, confirm by selecting "Ship My Toys"(don't forget to press "Ship This toy" to lock it in!) which will lead you to a shipping confirmation page

That's it! so easy.

How will I know when it's time to select my next toy?

When your toys were returned to our warehouse we’ll notify you via email that we have received them and that it's time to login to your account and select new toys. We will show you toys that match your preferences first as well as what is currently available to ship. Our inventory of available toys is being updated daily as new toys come in, so if you’re not seeing something you want right away, make sure to check back later.

I'm seeing toys that are not part of my preferences

If you see toys that you believe are not relevant to your child , you can continue to scroll on and will find many that will be relevant to your child (we have more than 500 different toys). The reason you see non-relevant toys might be that when you first joined we ask for your child’s skill level and preferred toy categories and use those preferences to recommend toys. For example if you select the Star Wars theme, when it's time to select a toy we show available toys that match that theme. If those preferences have changed since you joined and are not updated periodically you will continue to see those toys.

Tip
We recommend keeping your preferences updated with the toy category you are most interested in.

Edibles and toys you can keep

Our LEGO might also include toys that you can keep (e.g. don’t need to return) and edibles that you consume (e.g. brownie popsicles that are baked and then eaten). You will get a card stating that these toys are yours to keep and should not be mailed back.

Update toy themes and preferences

You can update your preferences and toy themes at any time. While signed into your account click on "Settings " then next to “Preferences” click “update” and update your selections.

That's it!

Credits 101

What are toy credits and how do they work?

LEGO are earned monthly and used to rent toys. The amount of toy credits you earn depends on your plan

  • Seed: 2 credits/month
  • Grow: 2 credits/month, + 2 bonus credits, 8 credits total
  • Blossom: 24 credits/year, + 10 bonus credits, 34 credits total

They are dispersed with each billing cycle and added to your credit balance. Toy credit do not expire as long you are an active paying member and roll over from month to month so there is no urgency to use them.

Toys range from one credit to three credits and you use your credit balance to select the toys that will be shipped to you. The more credits you have the larger toys you can rent. if you are short on credits you can always purchase credits for $10/credit to increase your balance.

Toy credits can only be used to rent ToyLibrary toys and cannot be refunded ,or redeemed for cash. Toy credits will expire and be lost when canceling the ToyLibrary account so make sure to use up all your credits before canceling.

When do I receive my toy credits?

Toy Credits are earned when your monthly or annual charge occurs.

For example; If you sign up July 1st for the Novice plan (two credits per month) you will receive your next two credits on August 1st.

You can keep your toys as long as you want as you’ll continue to earn credits and use them to rent larger and more valuable toys!

Keep in mind that toy credits cannot be refunded and once an account is canceled the credits will expire. No pro rated refunds can be issued for canceled accounts with remaining credits.

Where can I find my toy credits?

You can see your toy credit balance on your My Dashboard at the top left corner.

Missing Something...?

Toy arrived with missing pieces

We do our best to make sure that toys leave our processing center with all of their pieces, however sometimes pieces do slip through the cracks. Some of our members have found that they were able to compliment missing pieces with bricks from their own collection!
If you are unable to complete the build, you can return the toy and we’ll credit your account with the set credits.

Please report the missing pieces using LEGO Detective so that we can replenish them for the next customer.

Lost or missing return label or mailer

You should have received a pre-paid return label when you received your package, either in your mailer or already attached to your mailer, if not we apologize for the inconvenience!

If you can’t find the return label, you can ask and we’ll email you a new return label to be printed at home. Sign into your account and under "Current Rental" click on "Send me a new return label". We will email you within 24 hours a new label to print.


We will email you within 24 hours a new label to print.

I found toy pieces or manual after returning my toys

If you happen to find any items that did not make it with your last package, you can certainly send them back to us. We request that you place the found items in their own envelope and make sure to keep them separate from any other toys.

Make sure to mark the envelope/packaging "Found Items" and include the email address associated with your account on the envelope so we know what toys the items belong to.6710 GradeLane Suite 610

I lost the mesh bag, can I still return my toy?

If you happen to misplace the mesh bag or the packaging in which your toys arrived, you should still return your toys. Please contain all the pieces securely in a plastic bag, Ziplock bags with locking sliders work the best. Place it in your mailer with a note that has the name and email address associated with your LEGO account.

*Simply placing the loose pieces in the mailer does not guarantee the safety of the toy. Pieces can go missing in transit . Multiple toys returned with no mesh bag are subject to a replacement bag fee of $15.

Reporting missing or lost pieces using LEGO Detective

  1. Determine if pieces are missing by using the toy manual. Towards the back of the manual there will be a list of all the pieces that are included with the toy.
  2. If you determine there are pieces missing you can report them by using the LEGO Detective functionality.
  3. Reporting is important as it allows us to replace those missing pieces for the next customer! We thank you in advance.
  4. Sign into your LEGO account and under "Current Rental"​ select "Report Status."​ Once there, let us know if your toy was missing or you lost a piece. You can also report that your toy came complete
  5. On some sets not all of the pieces are listed, just report a few so that it flags the set and allows us to replace those missing pieces for the next customer!

*We do not ship out the missing pieces, If you are unable to complete building a construction toy please send the toy back to us and we will credit your account the toy credit and send out another toy right away.

Missing manual

Returned my last toys, when can I expect to select my next toys?

If it's been a few days since you returned your package and you have not received an email letting you know it's time to select new toys. There could be a few reasons why.

Depending on your area it can take several days for a return package to show up at our warehouse, this is most often due to the carrier not scanning the package and updating the tracking information into their system right away. We need your toys to arrive at our warehouse and be checked, so that we can email you to select new toys.

If there is no tracking information available or no updates after a week since you sent the toys please contact our customer service.

How much will shipping cost?

With LEGO Rental Services, shipment is always free (back and forth) 🙂
