I've pulled this idea from something that came up when discussing EOL dates in this thread:
http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/7185/flumpys-insight-into-sets-eol-in-2012-and-those-staying-on-for-2013#latest
The production and distribution is of particular interest regarding EOL dates as different factories might cease production earlier, and because I'm guessing that the only 'fixed' EOL date is the date when production stops (beyond that it's about depleting the stockpile).
According to Wikipedia there are 3 factories:
- Billund, Denmark
- Nyíregyháza, Hungary
- Monterrey, Mexico.
Although as we know there is one in "Asia" :)
Apparently "Brick decorations and packaging" are done at all these locations plus
- Kladno in the Czech Republic.
So does anyone know how Lego distributes stock from each of its factories?
For example does the European stock generally originate from the EU factories and the North Mexican stock from the Mexico factory?
