Yes, several parts of sets are mixed in in different bags, I noticed
several of them. I don't really know how they are packed, but I am
guessing that they have the bags and a large pile of one set and they
dump them in however. I usually dump one bag at a time and sort it out,
and proceed to the next. I enjoy doing that so I see all the parts that
are in the model, and if I am unsatisfied with it, it gets assimilated
quickly into my organized parts.

The packing of baggies is a very precise science.  Other people can
describe it better than I, but basically there are a bunch of hoppers, each
holding a large quantity of one part, and the bags are filled mechanically
from the hoppers.  The bags are then weighed to check that they received
the proper contents.

I see, so is there a separate line for each bag then, and are all the lines for each bag connected, or are they separate? I really wish I could see how they do some of these things, it's fascinating! Scott Sanburn (...) (26 years ago, 21-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
