ASML Holding NV ADR (ASML.US) sells the most advanced lithography machines with "LEGO" models, in high demand and only available for purchase by employees.

Chip equipment manufacturer ASML Holding NV ADR (ASML.US) is selling its most valuable product, a replica of the TWINSCAN EXE:5000 High-NA Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Machine, known as the "LEGO" version, to employees. When asked about the miniature model of the equipment, ASML Holding NV ADR spokesperson Monique Mools responded, "I'm sorry, this is only for internal employee use." Engineers have been urging the company on social media to make the product available to more people, but the spokesperson stated that the product is just to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary and to "bring joy to employees." The LEGO-like replica is priced at 208 euros (equivalent to 216 US dollars) in the ASML Holding NV ADR employee store. Meanwhile, each chip manufacturing machine costs 350 million euros and weighs as much as two Airbus A320s. Intel Corporation (INTC.US) delivered the first (real) device to its factory in Oregon last year. Previously, ASML Holding NV ADR was canceling limited edition orders of the Twinscan EXE:5000 LEGO model from non-employee customers. Despite its high price, the LEGO model has been very popular. Initially, ASML Holding NV ADR had limited each customer to one set of orders, but due to demand exceeding expectations, stricter measures had to be taken.
