I was just reading about the new Happy Meal program.
How many McDonald restaurants do people guess there are?
5,000? 10,000? More?

I hope the next McDonald's shooting spree is not committed by a LEGO
employee...
<ICS>

I suspect you could get some inexpensive labor to build them, and it wouldn't take too long, though. Assembly line LEGO (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| (...) As it happens I do work in manufacturing... I find it completely reasonable to think that such machines may exist or could be built. And I am sure that sets are packaged in some sort of automated process assembly line. What annoys me is your (...) (25 years ago, 31-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
