Extremely Cool Chris. Thanks!
I wonder if different colors have different weights?
If you could weigh the standard bricks (1x1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 2x2,3,4)
Then compare, say, 2x4's of different colors, it would add to our knowledge
base...
Then Steve Bliss could add that to the Parts Reference....
But I digress...
Thanks again,
