I have always loved footage of assembly line/ manufacturing type stuff. Are there any YouTube videos of the process a model goes through to get to the box? Like how the molding process works, how it gets bagged, boxed, etc?

Wow Matt! That is exactly what I was after.
The whole process is totally amazing to me, and makes me think twice before griping too much about the prices of kits these days.
Thanks for the links.
