For our kids’ Christmas present, we bought them a 6 month subscription to a Box of Legos that is delivered once a month, usually near the end of the month. Lego Booster Bricks is opening their monthly service to new subscribers tomorrow so I thought I’d do a quick post about it.
Here is a link to their website and an opportunity to join their waitlist:

I will summarize the subscription here though if you’d rather get a quick overview and information from personal experience.
What is it? Booster Bricks is a monthly subscription to a Lego membership that includes a monthly box of Legos.
How many pieces are in the box? The box comes with around 250 pieces. Keep in mind that these are not usually new Legos. They are cleaned and sanitized though so they look almost new. The fact that the Legos aren’t new also means a chance of receiving rare Lego pieces that are difficult to find. You also receive at least one minifigure and minifigure accessories.
How much does it cost? You can choose a monthly subscription for $39.99/month with free shipping in the USA, a three month subscription for $33.33/month with free shipping in the USA, or a twelve month subscription for $29.99/month with free shipping in the USA. Note: This post has been updated with the 2020 Booster Bricks prices and plans and there does not seem to be a six month subscription offered. We decided on the six month subscription to see how we liked it.
That seems like a lot of money for a box of Legos! Is it worth it? The interesting part of this Lego subscription is not just the box of Legos! The box also comes with building challenges for your kids. You can take pictures of their creations and enter them in a random drawing for even more Lego prizes. You also have access to Occasional Flash Deals through the Booster Bricks Club Facebook group as well as daily and weekly Lego build challenges and various contests with Lego prizes. We haven’t won anything yet but it is fun to enter the contests! You choose how much or how little you want to be involved.
Josh and I like that this is not a subscription to a Lego set but to a set of random pieces. This means our kids build using their imaginations instead of a manual of instructions. Both ways of building are fun though!
I am not sure yet if we will be renewing our subscription but most likely we will! We plan on posting more about our Booster Brick builds and boxes but I wanted to publish this before their opening tomorrow in case anyone wants to try it out!
