More than likely they require a screw to keep the battery compartment closed

Or a very tight click-latch.

I need a knife or small screwdriver to pop some open.

And on some others I have to tape them closed!

I agree. Haven't perused the 4500 pages, but that would be my guess.

I've often been frustrated at how much harder it is getting the kids' toys up and going on Christmas. I've asked myself, "why can't they just continue using that little snappy-type battery cover that goes off and on without me having to pop out to the garage and find a tiny screwdriver".

I suppose this is why. And I suppose this is probably going to be an expansion of that.
