On December 24th, Jin10 Data reported that Dutch ASML, a global leader in photolithography machines, released a LEGO model of the TWINSCAN EXE:5000 extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, priced at €208 (approximately $216). However, the company seems to have underestimated the popularity of this model. Currently, ASML has canceled orders from non-employees. When the media inquired about the LEGO, ASML spokesperson Mors said, "Sorry, this is only for ASML employees." The company's engineers have called on the company to allow more people to purchase this model on social media, but Mors 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 costs €350 million each and weighs as much as two Airbus A320s
