      I think the keyword here is almost, everything Lego is designed to be a shelf piece and not actually used even the ones that come with motors because the parts fall apart too easily, so if you’re looking for a remote control car do not buy Lego if you’re looking for a cool building experience and a nice shelf queen item, buy Lego

      @@krzysiekchinbeard4442 There are certain techniques which don't apply stress to parts, but still wouldn't be allowed in an official set due to either being too loose or just not being a very good connection.
      There's also the various techniques using minifigure arm, leg, and hand pieces which have been separated from their original parts. Those don't apply stress in and of themselves, but removing them requires a bit more force than is normally acceptable.
