You can't take this LEGO set apart!
Crossout is an online vehicle shooter that gives you complete creative control. Build your vehicle from scratch using hundreds of parts and take it out in dynamic PvP battles or cooperative PvE matches set in a post apocalyptic world (sponsored message).
In this video, we look at the LEGO Star Wars set that is practically impossible to take apart. This is perhaps the most difficult LEGO set to disassemble. After an uproar from LEGO fans, LEGO had to release an official response video admitting that the disassembly process was not intuitive and explaining how to remove the bricks. Here's what happened... Enjoy the video!

I'm not an engineer by education at all (still working on my college degree), but I am a tinkerer and problem solver. Putting together tons of Star Wars sets over the years has made me into a pseudo-engineer, you could say. I do not own the set (too much money for me), but even I could tell nothing about it was impossible to take apart. Just start shuffling pieces around and wiggling stuff until something happens. I guess Lego should avoid the joint technique in the future and/or start marking these sets with "Mechanical Engineering Degree Recommended, Though Not Required" LOL!

They really arent stuck forever, the axel has a stopper at one end, so you can use that bit of flat plastic as a way to shimmy it out (though an axel with a stud stopper at the end might have been a better choice). Easier than if it were just a regular axel. Still an illegal building connection in an official set.

(Even if it's just a link to a video) Also it might be fun for some people to tear it down and put it back together a few years down the line. Removing the parts is indeed doable without extra tools, so it's fine, just needs instructions to take it apart.

I actually ran into the first problem while building it literally yesterday - made a mistake and had to remove the center pin part. The whole assembly is actually slightly less long than the gap inside the frame piece, so you can push it all tightly together, push it all so that the orange pin is inserted through the frame as deep as possible and everything is locked tight against it (resulting in a small gap at the other end where a small amount of the axle is showing) then push the orange pin upward slightly which pushes the head of the axle out enough to get a fingernail under it and remove it, at which point it all came apart fine. Didn't have to damage parts or anything. Was able to do this really easily and repeatedly. And this was without having seen the Lego video explaining how to do it.

@kentslocum Жыл бұрын

The green piece is there for a reason, to keep the orange pin from getting pushed out during construction. It's a miracle that it stays together sturdily, and this is one of the mechanisms that keeps it that way. I agree with you, though, that advanced builders are free to make whatever modifications they prefer to the beirding instructions. This issue has been hilariously blown way out of proportion, especially since it is a complex and advanced build. The design of the UCS Hulkbuster, on the other hand, is inexcusable.

I’ve always been the delicate, dexterous type of person- like, if I were an RPG character, my stats would be a Dexterity/Intelligence build- but honestly, after seeing the revolt this set had, I’m left feeling like I’m just a pure strength build. Unga bunga brick come apart. Bionicles were my definitive toy of choice growing up, and although I had no shortage of headaches and woes from parts sealing themselves in (namely in modifying the vehicle sets), it taught me to be patient and tenacious. Technic sets/builds are commonly groveled over in the LEGO community as they can be a bit more frustrating to build with, especially if majority-all of your building experiences are with system pieces, but never are they ever impossible to handle. They have their place and their uses, and I feel the AT-AT utilized its beneficial aspects perfectly well.

I have the set and tried this technique of taking this leg assembly apart (I accidentally built it wrong and had to backtrack) so I can confirm it works. It took me a few more attempts than designer did in the video though. One point for arguing for ability to (easily) disassemble all sets I can point out is the scenario of moving the set, especially if you yourself are moving to a new house or apartment. I'd much rather take the legs off the set because I feel it would fair better during transport

Lego did an amazing job at solving the problem. Not only did they give instructions on it, they made a video showing how to do it. I do get that some people do like to take sets apart, but that one guy is kinda right, it's an extremely large, complex, and specifically expensive set. Taking it apart will be very difficult, especially since it's pretty tall and heavy, so you really don't want it to fall apart. Also you typically don't get these complex and expensive sets to be used as a toy that you're gonna take apart and resemble over and over, or even build other things from it. It's a fun, buildable model that you're probably gonna display somewhere.

Regarding the leg joint; It looks like the orange piece can be inserted the other way round from outside the grey frame in to it instead of from inside the frame outward. That way, the orange pin can be removed easily afterward. I found a similar alternate to what the instructions say with blue 2+1 technic connector pins in the RC Tracked Racer set that enables easier removal of the battery box. Also, as far as I am aware, the orange piece (like the blue piece) has a hole right through the centre which you can put a metal rod through to tap out the pin at the other end which avoids damage to the lego piece.

The UCS sets aren't made for the regular LEGO person. They are made for collectors. They aren't *meant* to be taken apart for other builds. That's why LEGO thinks they can get away with this. Honestly a poor business practice, but that's the market. Regular sets are for the average fan. They're meant to be taken apart and the pieces reused. But the UCS sets are meant for fans of the movies/shows/etc they're for, to build then display. I honestly wouldn't be upset.

All Lego sets should be intuitive on disassembly since sometimes you make mistakes and if those sections happened to be where the mistake was then that’s a problem. Recently I had built the Lego Typewriter and I was at the point where you put the letter keys on and I realized one of the levers was oriented the wrong way and it was the ‘bottom’ since it was one of the first levers installed by the instructions so I had to be careful putting it back together once I fixed it.

I actually got this set a year ago, it's still my favorite LEGO set. I would never take it apart, so I see no problem with the fact that it's impossible to do so without risking damaging pieces. It was my first UCS LEGO set. Beauty of a set, that is.

I think the problem many people see here with this techniques being used is because of the fear that they become more common. For an 800$ set or something, this might not be an issue since most people won't disassemble it anyways, but the fear is, that if lego doesn't get any backlash, design techniques that aren't able to be disassembled could become much more mainstream and find way into smaller sets

Yes, I think it's really important LEGO understands they don't get away with it. This is kind of a deadly sin from a LEGO point of view. I'm pretty sure they will not do this again, at least not in the short term.

Someone in 10 years or so might not be interested in the specific model anymore. What's great about LEGO sets, is that if you lose interest in the specific model the instructions give you, you can take it apart and make something new. That goes for UCS sets too.

42098's blue car has a couple 2L axles pushed into blind holes locking the front suspension together, took me a lot of fiddling to get it apart the first time, so when I rebuilt it I used some 3L axles instead.

IN a perfect world disassembly should be just as easy as an assembly. However, if you've ever worked with any other medium, you'll know that often isn't the case. Woodworking is filled with joints that once put together cannot be undone with ease. Sometimes putting something together is easy, but taking it apart can only be destructive. The fact that they demonstrated that it can still be taken apart is all I need on the subject. It might be harder, but that's the trade off for additional stability and strength to the overall build.
