There is a knock-off on AliExpress.

Might be worth contacting the seller before buying.

The "Color" (ie: type/what's being sold) is "PDF Manual By Email", so it's possible they selling just the PDF assembly manual...

getting the bricks shouldn't be that difficult, should it?

yeah but if all you're getting is the manual that's free https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-215601/NightHawk11991/asml-...

The Chinese knock-off TwinScan is almost as good as the original and far less expensive.

Because of course it is.

Brilliant. I knew there had to be a solution somewhere.

I would have expected a LEGO version of the SMEE machine

It must be to prevent corporate spying ;)

You'll need to be their very best friend. And make sure they're not too close with their family, nor a big fan of either Lego or collectables, before you cozy up.
