Just like the metal maker things that you could get a little while ago.
You just put the pellets in, put in the mold, turn it on and presto! 500
homemade bulldozer treads for a quarter of the price! but if only lego did
such a thing,
Then that would mean the collapse of places like brickbay because everyone
would just make their own pieces instead of buying them on the internet. Oh
well it's not happening any time soon that's for sure.
