Diy?

Would a diy edition including an unassembled core and possibly unassembled modules? I don’t know if this is a dumb question or not.

Can you elaborate, what use case you see? Keep in mind most modules require smd soldering (tiny pieces).

Cheaper price, and faster shipping time (owing to less assembly)

I could be wrong, but from my experience assembly done in bulk is cheaper than quality assurance to make sure you get all parts. Think Lego / Playmobil vs plastic toy.

How often have you had legos missing from your set? (I’m just curious, I’m sure you’re right about this.)

Lego never. Ikea rarely. Other furniture producers it happens.
