Each figure would be packaged by separate machines and those packaged figures would be brought separately to the machine that packs them in the case. So to the extent that the packing machine "identifies" them, it would do so by the place they were coming in. I don't buy that theory at all. It's not how TLG operates their production lines. It's a known fact that TLG use a production code system that ensures that they can trace all of their production. What makes you think they'd stop doing that? Their warehousing system has to know where everything is stored, anyway. So there's an identification system they're using that is so good that they can even send out employees to fix production errors that made it out to sets in stores. Cheers ... ghyde
