I wonder if all moulding is being handled in Europe, or if any
thing at all is going to be done elsewhere...? I'm going to take
my Dutch LoM box back to the US and check it against what's on the
shelves there--especially whether the US packaging has a set name.
This Dutch one doesn't.
So if moulding is handled in Europe, that still leaves the problem
of packaging--do they just send polybags o' bricks off to be boxed,
and if so, in what order?

I'll bet it's still in the planning stages. We might even still
be able to affect it! (Unabashedly optimistic, I know.) But I'd
bet on the "five standard" colours; light and dark grey; tan; green;
and mmmmmaybe brown. I'm not sure about the new "sand-hybrid" stuff,
but I'd doubt it, at least for the first year.
