The length of time it takes to refurbish a LEGO model can vary greatly depending on the specific model.
Each LEGO creation is unique, which means that even two identical models in different parts of a resort may require different amounts of time to refurbish.
To give you an idea, for instance, we recently refurbished the Ollie the Dragon LEGO model located at the front of most LEGOLAND hotels, and it took us six working days to complete the task for LEGOLAND Windsor. On the other hand, a one-meter-high LEGO mini figure typically takes two to three days to refurbish.
Overall, the refurbishing process for each model requires careful consideration and customization to ensure the best possible results.
-
The cost of refurbishing a LEGO model is determined by several factors specific to each individual model.
These factors include the model's size, appearance, level of detail, and location within the resort, among others.
