In Germany we have two companies that will send you a set (or 3, depending on plan) every month. It's like the old Netflix DVD model. Each sets gets washed, they added extra pieces and there's insurance for loosing pieces. (https://www.bauduu.de/)

That’s a brilliant idea! Is there something like this in the US? How has your experience been using it?
LEGO is vastly more popular in Europe than in the US.
I believe there was a US based company doing it at one point but they went out of business.
I believe those are all "recurring purchases", so your collection accumulates, where the European one upthread is "loaned and then returned", so you get the joy of building without the storage problems.
