Lego can't survive on patents forever. They make money by:
- being a known brand,
- having a good reputation,
- superb quality of its parts and
- exclusive sets.
Lego became a toy company that explore Hollywood franchises fans. The possibility of assembling and disassembling anything is a smaller value-added today.
- rtkwe 5y agoYeah they are probably counting on the fact that this is a Ultimate Collector Series aimed at Adult Fans Of Lego designed to be a display piece not a playset that gets taken apart and remixed into your pool of Lego pieces. It is a new thing though that is interesting given how long they went before making a set that was this hard to fully disassemble. Till now every set could come apart and besides stickers parts were fully generic and didn't get stuck together permanently.

I have noticed there's more of those being called for in sets lately. eg: 2x 2x1 flat plates together, it's very hard to impossible to separate those without tools.
