Last week Chris at Brickset.com wrote an article about being unable to dismantle some subassemblies in the new LEGO Star Wars UCS AT-AT (#75313) and it seems that VICE.com managed to elicit a response from LEGO on the issue.
“All LEGO sets are designed to be rebuildable, including the LEGO Star Wars AT-AT.
“This set is a complex build intended for those aged 18+ and uses Technic pieces to secure elements of the set. Once assembled, these pieces can sometimes be more difficult to take apart, but it is still possible. In the case of the elements that attach the upper body to the lower part of the set, builders should tap to the side of the Technic rod until it starts to stick out and then remove it using the LEGO tool which is provided with the set. Alternatively, you can ease the model onto its side and the rods will come out.
“Regarding the pieces used to construct the legs; once assembled the Technic rods can be removed by pushing the rod from one end and securing the end of it with your fingernail. Then push back the cross-axle extender and keep repeating this movement until enough of the end protrudes out to be able to remove it.”
If you’ve been lucky enough to built the AT-AT what do you think about the response from the LEGO Group?
