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 condescending tone... I know that LEGO
employees had assembled over 13,000 copies because that is how they
have always done it. It is confirmed by the following article posted

Next time, take the time to read the whole thread. Thanks.

| I was just reading about the new Happy Meal program. How many McDonald restaurants do people guess there are? 5,000? 10,000? More? Just think. Some poor LEGO employees had to recreate/copy an 18" Ronald McDonald model made entirely of LEGO bricks (...) (27 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
