I've wondered that myself from time to time. I can see where both ideas could work and have also thought about the How it's Made idea. Thing is, they won't go past Canada for footage.
Still, you can break down and reassemble some of the more complex figures fairly quickly with the right tools, it certainly doesn't require more than one person to do the job. They may just have giant piles of parts and each person simply builds out a certain number and then ships them off to packaging.
All the same, maybe if you wrote in to both Hasbro and Discovery one of them would pick the idea up. Worked for Megabloks, though again... Canada.
