Coolness.
Also, according to a
recent LEGO press release, the LEGO Factory will be expanding to do other
things:
“Notable in the System’s 50th year is LEGO Factory, a tool that meaningfully
blends virtual and physical building worlds to make every child a LEGO Model
Designer. Users browse an online warehouse of LEGO elements to create their
brick pallet and design their own LEGO models. This summer, custom models can
be ordered and will arrive in packaging that shows the model and name on the
front and includes the pieces and one-of-a-kind step-by-step building
instructions for building it in real life.”

Yes, this release was in our press kit as well. Reading between the lines of
some of the comments, I got the impression that (not surprisingly) they don’t
have the fulfillment of this completely sussed yet, as pricing wasn’t discussed.
They confirmed that you will be able to choose models by others as well.
If they can pull this off at a decent price point, even from a limited pallette,
it will be VERY exciting. I have to wonder if the “personal PaB” being
experimented with in the UK is a precursor or teething for this fulfillment
process.
The models that the factory contest produced prove, to me anyway, that it’s VERY
possible to produce great stuff with a limited pallete, if you restrict the
subject matter. Going Microfig, was, in my view, a stroke of brilliance.
