Andrew, not cheaper, but more complex.

The daggers mentioned, like the Government or the HJ Leader, are not easy to disassemble and much more difficult to put back together into the same condition as originally found.

Armies and Luft2s usually can be taken apart relatively easily and also put back together safely.

But, any time you take something apart you run the risk of some kind of damage... the risk is way higher with these more complex daggers.
