and this weight table:

I found this:
Brick 1x4 = 1.56g = .004 lb


First of all, a 'thank you' to Mark at Land of Bricks for the wonderful
Pick-A-Brick information!

Considering our upcoming trip to Legoland, husband and I were curious to see if
Pick-A-Brick was a good value.  I took the above suggestion one step further and
came up with the information below, assuming the price of $6.99 per 1/4 pound.
It's not complete, but I think it gives you the idea.  In quickly comparing
prices with lego.com, the only item that stood out as more expensive at
Pick-A-Brick was the 2x2 brick ($0.08 vs $0.07).
