NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
The future of retail: manufactured by a 3-D printer, delivered by drone.
That's the sci-fi scenario Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) is inching closer to with the launch this week of its 3-D Printing Store, which offers shoppers over 200 products, including toys, jewelry and home decorations.
The items are produced via 3-D printer, and can be customized by size, color, material or with personal text and images. A "personalization widget" lets you play around with different designs and preview your purchase before you buy.
"The introduction of our 3-D Printed Products store suggests the beginnings of a shift in online retail - that manufacturing can be more nimble to provide an immersive customer experience," Petra Schindler-Carter, Amazon's director for marketplace sales, said in a statement.
In launching the store, Amazon signed on 3-D-printing productions firms including Cincinnati-based 3DLT and Brooklyn's Mixee Labs. Mixee co-founder Nancy Liang said the new marketplace "has the potential to become the app store for the physical world."

Jeremiah 9:13-14
13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them
This world is going to do whatever their mind comes up with.
After all, it is Babylon.
