Are there any published data on Lego weights?  I remembered this thread, but
this was the *only* info I could find.  Even the RTL FAQ, which goes into
excruciating detail on the dimensions of a 2x4 brick, can't be bothered to say
how much one weighs.

Given that I spent half an hour or so today trying to figure out how much Lego
I could add to a BrickLink order and stay below 0.7kg, and ended up having to
guess[1], I think there must be *some* demand for this information.[2]

[1] And I was just trying to estimate weights for common pieces. . .1x6 bricks,
6x8 plates, maybe 'figs. . .
[2] I suppose this info could be hiding in the BrickLink discussion fora, but
those are not searchable.

I'd be willing to weigh another round of common pieces (e.g bricks,
plates and maybe minifigs).  time is the limiting factor.

Hi All,

In the last months I began to weigh parts when adding to my collection.
I used a 0.1 gramms scale weighing as much elements as I found (at least 20)
and divided. Results are about 1/100 gramm but I do not promise the last
digit to be correct, but it gives a nice overview for calculating shipping
or whatever. The list can be downloaded from brickshelf (as long as it is not
deleted)

Enjoy

Lutz
