In lugnet.dear-lego, Kevin McMillin writes: <snip> The news articles all got it right and correctly identified molding as ceasing.

I still fail to see how this will save them money, unless: 1 - having the extra sets of molds/machines is killing production costs 2 - the raw ABS is ONLY available from Europe. I can't see how molding the bricks overseas and shipping them to the US (...) (26 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
