    Thanks for posting that.

    I can't believe I've never known such a machine existed. The only thing that would make it better would be if the molds were transparent and could be selected by the operator.

    By chance I just happened to run across a related video that explains Plastic Injection Molding in detail. At the end they touch on the genius of the LEGO brick design.

    There's quite a cult around Mold-a-rama. Greenfield Village as a bunch of them. My wife wants to go to the Toledo Zoo as they have some fairly exclusive holiday molds that are pretty rare. The highest concentration of machines is in the midwest, followed by Seattle and a few down in Florida IIRC.

    Better late than never. They are even cooler in person...I like the transparent mold idea.
