Uhm, have you seen print-on-demand servcies such as www.cafepress.com or
www.trafford.com? They do exactly that with t-shirts, mugs, books, CD's, etc.
The paperwork/legal aspects of such a venture are easy to deal with following
the Cafepress model and are, I would think, the smallest impediment to
implementation.
Now, forgive me if I am missing something but I understood that basically the
LEGO Factory idea was a robotic processing line with a limited pallette of parts
and packaging sizes that would literally allow one or a thousand sets to be made
"on demand" based on the designs submitted using the designer program. If it is
just another way to make regular assembly-line sets then I think it may be more
difficult to implement.
The biggest impediment I see is the willingness of the corporation to try
something which allows some creative control by the customers. A very cool thing
IMHO but a scary concept in the coporate world.
