This LEGO Set is Impossible to Take Apart

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 love how fast and smooth the Lego designer took it apart. Showing how easy it actually is

[Thunderbox]

as a moderate LEGO fan who lives in a mine field of bricks, I would rather the set be hard to take apart than having it be flimsy or fragile, especially if I'm paying that much for it, and the fact LEGO responded with a tutorial for how to disassemble it shows they still care

[megatronVS]

The fact that it's Minifigures scale makes me want to do goofy things to it, like adding a coffee shop to the interior

Lightsaber blade solves the issue with the legs, it can fit through the entire orange connector to push the rod out... Years of kit bashing taught me quite a few tricks for "impossible" connections/removals.... The lightsaber blade is the perfect size to fit through literally any standard technic connector! Theres just enough room between the rungs of the cross shaped connections for it to fit through the center, and its the exact diameter of the inner opening of the tube connectors!

Let’s be real here, if someone has enough money to buy the UCS At-At why would they take it apart, and the people that are complaining probably are salty they can’t get it

[Quantum_Magnus]

The fact that you can take it apart at all is good enough. It’s only a real problem if pieces are stuck like that forever. If you have time and dedication to build custom creations, then you’ll have time and dedication to take these types of sets apart.

I think this build is totally fine, especially after a video demonstrated it's possible to disassemble both problem parts without tools (expect the brick separator, but that's literally its job)

[WhiteManOnCampus]

Wow, the designer made it look so easy. But even if it wasn't, I immediately thought of another solution that wouldn't involve damaging the axle with a knife or other sharp object: if you have the $800+ to drop on a Lego model, then you should have access to or an easy means to get water-soluble adhesive. Just use some of that on a modeling tool with a flat end, stick it to the flat-ended axle, and pull it out. Rinse to remove the adhesive, and there you go.

I was building this set with my friend and both of us unfortunately messed up the orientation in the step with the technic frame. It did take us some time to figure out how to take out the rod and eventually got it out using a thumb tac. We were pretty surprised on how hard it was to take it out- but we found it really funny when we learned that a ton of people had a problem with that step as well.

I feel that the harder pieces to remove is what really keeps a set together granted there are people who would want to use the pieces for something else but it is just more for the ones who want to keep the set as is when it's finished

3:10 there is another
















“HANS GET DE FLAMMENWERFER THIS LEGO PIECE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE APART”

[NegativeZero]

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.

Right off the bat I’m reminded of the Artakha Bionicle model from the fan contests. The thighs each use a construction that would force you two snap to ball socket/joint connections off at once, which isn’t impossible, but requires a lot of force with not a lot of room for leverage.

[dragonblaster-vuwz]

In regards to the feet area, wouldn't it be simpler to just leave the green piece off if you want to disassemble it? That way, you can just pull the gray piece forward enough to pull the pin out

[EmeraldPencil]

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.

The minifigures have noticed that some outside force was destroying everything they've worked for. So they decided to make the weakest points near indestructible. Though they could've easily just used the Kragle...

[thewatcher]

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

[russellharrell]

The video near the end showing the building taking out the technic pin on the leg assembly just made fools of everyone who griped about disassembly being too difficult.

I wouldn’t want this set if it was easy to take apart. Being sturdy and resistant to having random pieces falling off should be a feature off all huge UCS sets.

[Epicmonk]

IMO Lego did goof with making the pieces so tricky to take apart, but it's far from an unforgivable goof.

Also, double kudos to them for showing how to take the pieces apart without damaging them.

Next thing we know, there will be a life sized Lego AT-AT
