In Germany there is a Lego subscription service.
Put sets on a wishlist, they send you one of them. You build it, unbuild it and send it back. One set a month.

I feel like if I were just a little deeper on the Autism Spectrum I would really like Germany.
feel free to test here: https://german.millermanschool.com/
The only people I've ever met who get excited filling out forms were German
that sounds awesome. sad that something like that probably would not work well in USA. don't have the culture for it. too many pieces would get lost.

I think the idea of "Netflix for LEGOs" started where one might expect X but for Y services to start - California.
We used one of these services in the USA somewhere nearing 10 years ago. Looks like they're still around at https://netbricks.biz/ - but I also see https://brick-library.com/ and https://brickdrop.co and wouldn't be surprised if there's more. It worked great. I detected zero incompatibility with my being from the USA. I didn't eat or carelessly throw away a single brick.
From a search it look like Pleygo was the first such startup from 2012 and based in San Jose / Santa Clara, but is no longer around.
I would assume it'd be pretty easy to have a system to count pieces and replenish lost ones. Actually, I'd be surprised if the German scheme doesn't already work like that. I don't see why it couldn't work.
Sounds amazing. I build and unbuild but then just put the box back in storage (my closet).
