Swiss collectors save money buying the LEGO Giant Sequoia from US retailers

The botanical hype behind the Giant Sequoia set

The release of the LEGO Icons "The Botanical Collection: Giant Sequoia" (Set #104XX) in April 2026 has created a massive surge in demand among adult fans of LEGO. This set stands out due to its unique scale and the introduction of new reddish-brown bark elements that replicate the texture of the world's largest trees. Unlike smaller floral sets, the Sequoia is a structural masterpiece that serves as a centerpiece for any home office.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

In Switzerland, retail availability often lags behind the US market, and the price markup in CHF can be as high as 30% when compared to American MSRP. This price gap is why many collectors are looking across the Atlantic to secure their sets early in 2026. The set is currently trending on social media platforms because of its intricate branch structure and the inclusion of a small forest floor diorama at the base.

Buying from US stores for Swiss delivery

Purchasing the Giant Sequoia directly from US retailers like LEGO.com (US) or Target allows you to access stock that is often sold out in Europe. To do this effectively, you need a tax-free US address. Using a freight forwarder allows you to shop US stores as if you were a local resident, avoiding the high international shipping rates directly charged by retailers.

If you are new to this process, here is a step-by-step guide on how to proceed. First, you sign up for an account to receive your US warehouse address. Then, you place your order for Set #104XX using that address. Once the package arrives at the warehouse, you can choose your preferred carrier for the final leg to Switzerland.

Shipping estimates for Set #104XX

Before you place your order, it is important to understand the physical profile of this set to calculate your total costs. The Giant Sequoia is a large, premium set, which means the packaging is substantial.

You should use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before the item reaches the warehouse. This ensures you are prepared for the final delivery fee.

Managing international shipping logistics

When you shop US ship international, the choice of carrier affects both the speed and safety of the delivery. For a high-value LEGO set like the Giant Sequoia, selecting a service with robust tracking is recommended. Using a dedicated international shipping service provides peace of mind that the iconic LEGO box art remains undamaged during transit.

The 2026 logistics landscape has made shipping from the US to Switzerland more efficient, but you must account for the volumetric weight mentioned earlier. Because LEGO boxes contain a lot of air, consolidating this set with other smaller items can often lower the average cost per item.

Understanding Swiss customs and VAT

Importing goods into Switzerland involves specific financial considerations. The myth that importing is too expensive often stems from a lack of understanding regarding import duties. For most LEGO sets, you will be responsible for the Swiss GST/VAT, which is currently 8.1% as of 2026.

Customs clearance fees are usually handled by the carrier. You should check our guide on customs tax and import tax for Switzerland to see the current thresholds. If the value of your shipment is below a certain amount, you may even be exempt from some of these charges. By calculating these fees in advance, you can confirm that the US price plus shipping is still lower than the local Swiss retail price.
