I recently made a trip to the pick-a-brick at the Orlando LEGO Imagination Center and spent time stacking bricks to fit inside the large cup. After I returned home and counted my booty (1071.67 cubic bricks) I decided to investigate what the (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping) !

That is so cool. I'd never seen it before. In Legoland California (and presumably other Legolands?) there is a display that shows how things are made including some working machines and a miniland-scale mock-up of a factory: (URL) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)

Now that we are seing more "custom" parts being made (for example the Starwars weapons, the Castle accessories and the Train wheels), it raises an important question... are these "Lego"?
