Kids just got a lot more options to impress their friends.



Now there is a rental company that caters to little ones who love Legos, CNN reports. Pley is like Netflix, but instead of movies, its subscribers receive Lego building block sets in the mail.



In its first year of business, Pley has signed up 15,000 families. Subscribers pay either $15, $25, or $39 a month, depending on which Lego sets they desire.



Pley ships the toys children want from an online catalog. When the kids are done playing with them, just send them back. Then Pley will sanitize them and send them to the next child.



The company has even figured out a way to tell if you lost a piece or two during your rental. They will begin charging after 15 missing blocks.



The subscription service is much cheaper than Legos, which can cost between $40 and $400.



Pley says it has sent 80,000 Lego sets to the homes of little ones since it began last May.
