- fluoridation 4mo agoI 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.

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/ https://netbricks.biz/ - but I also see https://brick-library.com/ https://brick-library.com/ and https://brickdrop.co 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.
