(...) I'd guess molding and printing are two, very separate, parts of the production process. They (probably) don't run a single line to mold and print, all in one shot. Instead, they do all the molding in a run, warehouse the pieces for a bit, and (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) That would be nice but I think new tooling is out of the question. Very expensive, and this has to be done on a shoestring so it's only incurring minimal fixed costs or it will not make money. I'm hoping that they will use tooling not (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

In that case, those weird shaped roof pieces are exactly what TLG need to consider including in the next LEGO Direct update. Also, I would consider adding a test of sorts if I were TLG, and have inward and outward sloping low corner bricks made up (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
