That's just a couple screws, right?

They could have made them more accessible, I agree, but nowadays even simple AA/AAA-operated toys tend to lock their battery compartment with a screw.

I've had to open a switch 1 to replace the fan. That was quite a bite more annoying, with many more screws and tiny connectors to unplug and plug again. At least no soldering, but, I hope I don't need that again on my 2 any time soon.

    Locking the battery behind a screw has been a thing forever. For the switch though, you have to pull the casing apart, which is a little more involves than most people are used to. Additionally it's a corded connection, not just slotting a battery in, I don't think that's a big deal, but probably not something most people have worked with.
