> The global lithography giant ASML from the Netherlands has released a LEGO model of the TWINSCAN EXE:5000 extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, priced at €208 (approximately $216), but the company seems to have underestimated the popularity of this model. Currently, ASML has canceled orders from non-employees. When the media inquired about this LEGO, ASML spokesperson Morss stated, "Sorry, this is only for ASML employees." The company's engineers have called on social media for the company to allow more people to purchase this model, but Morss stated that this product is only to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary, "to bring fun to the employees." It is reported that the prototype lithography machine of this LEGO costs €350 million each and weighs as much as two Airbus A320s
