A Tour of the Lego Factory

Posted by Miss Cellania in Lego on July 22, 2008 at 7:00 pm


Have you ever wondered how Lego bricks are made? Gizmodo takes a tour of the factory in three videos.

While the storage areas are the most impressive part of the factory, I have to admit that nothing had prepared me for the scope and complexity that is required to make and pack 19 billion bricks every year. The scale of this factory, specially compared to the tiny bricks it produces, is absolutely breathtaking.

    amazing! Really amazing,

    As a kid, I aways wondered how they never forget any piece into the box.

    every lego set i ever bought had extra pieces… so i guess a little to much was ok?

    So- is it the robots who strategically place the tiny pieces in the hallway for me to step on in the middle of the night?
