Should they make f?gure with less surprise??

[Playmofool]

I remember a list with the weight of most fi?ures on KickyWelt. Of course, quite a lot of collectors wanted to make sure what they would get and those who didn't want to "feel" their way along the line of bags went for a very precise set of scales (doing 10ths of grams) and the weight of most figures has been posted, if I remember correctly.

There are only 2-3 hard cases because of (almost) identical weight.

IF I can find that list, I'll post it here.

Found the list: Pink ones are easier than blue ones (more difference in weight). When you have got the weight, it's easier to feel for distinctive parts from only two or three fi?ures.

Here's the list (courtesy of Colonel Klicky from KlickyWelt):

Blue fi?ures (Series 1):
1 - (Blue Knight) - 30g
2 - (Football Player) - 21g
3 - (Boxer) - 23g
4 - (Mummy) - 22g
5 - (Zorro) - 21g
6 - (Pizza cook) - 23g
7 - (Guitar player) - 21g
8 - (Uncle Sam) - 19g
9 - (Death) - 26g
10 - (Champion) - 20g
11 - (Winged knight) - 30g
12 - (Hangman) - 22g

Pink fi?ures ( Series 1):
1 - (Princess) - 35g
2 - (Pixie) - 22g
3 - (Icy blue princess) - 29g
4 - (Singer) - 19g
5 - (Skier) - 20g
6 - (Highwaywoman) - 24g
7 - (Skater girl) - 22g
8 - (Witch) - 27g
9 - (Rider) - 18g
10 - (Stone age woman) - 25g
11 - (Mermaid) - 19g
12 - (Pink princess) - 32g


I hope it helps some of you.

I somehow can't imagine myself taking scales into a toy shop 

I'm only interested in getting the pizza baker, zorro and the guitarist and the female singer. Mostly for all of their pants and torsos

I was only interested in a few too.  I wanted Uncle Sam, the mummy, Zorro and Grim Reaper.  2 of 4 the desired after buying 9 is not cost efficient.

in my opinion all these wonderful Fi?ures should go Special (they ARE more special than the actual figures from the Special series) and let the boring Special figures in those horrid bags suffocating

Ok they probably would never do it that way because they wouldn't make so much money, oh well

how are you supossed to figure out what's the fig inside the bag only by the weight? I'm not taking a scale with me to the store

Thank you it will and I am going to take a scale from now on.

I want dozens of some and only a couple of others so feeling bags to get dozens of one figure takes way too long, and not to mention each store has about 4 of each when the box is fresh. TRU only puts out about 10 and those are random as well.

The trading thing would not work for that amounts as well so this is the best solution for my situation.

[Luis]

actually trading these figures hasn't been very common in the forums I am part of

i guess that's the meaning of these f?gures  to buy as many as you can until you get the ones you want 

?=$$$$$$ it's so simple

Knowing the weight, one can buy a case and then weigh them at home, and bring back the ones you don't want for a refund. How's that sound?

Actually, that sounds like cheating to me...  I think it is wrong to buy stuff at a store intending not to keep it. But maybe that's just me.

What scales do you guys use? I have no idea if there are precise enough scales that are also.. discreet enough
