Cloning Stormtroopers at LEGO Factory

June 19, 2008

There’s more than one way to build a clone army! The lucky kids at Gizmodo blog take a tour of the LEGO factory in Denmark.

Check out this video about how the iconic mini-figure gets its characteristic evil look after getting out of the mold machine. The printing of these mini-figs is one of the most expensive and delicate processes at the Lego factory. The rubber stamping has to be done in a very precise way - printing feature by feature in layers - until it’s done.

    For some reason I am not able to watch the video. Is there anything special I need? I’ve tried on two computers and it doesn’t work.

    Wasn’t working for me either a couple days ago–I think it’s an IE thing. Try again now.

    Oh, and: that’s awesome. :)
