ASML's 200 euro "photolithography machine" sold out instantly and became an employee exclusive benefit.

On December 24th, Jinshi Data reported that Dutch lithography giant ASML has released a LEGO model of the TWINSCAN EXE:5000 extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, priced at 208 euros (equivalent to 216 dollars). However, the company seems to have underestimated the popularity of this model. ASML has now canceled orders from non-employees. When asked about this LEGO model, ASML spokesperson Morse said, ‘I’m sorry, this is only available for ASML employees to purchase.’ The company’s engineers have called on the company to allow more people to buy this model on social media. However, Morse said that this product is only to celebrate the company’s 40th anniversary and ‘bring fun’ to employees. It is reported that each prototype lithography machine of this LEGO model is priced at 350 million euros and weighs the same as two Airbus A320s.
