Yeah, there are a couple other pretty small parts that might contest (Although my guess is still the coin): - small knight's plume - small knight's side plume (dragon wing r/l) - minifig hand - minifig 'hook' hand - white rubber band - (...)

I'm also interested in seeing the relationship between brick size and mass (i.e. is it a linear relationship?). -chris ps. (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | (...) If you had the weights of all the elements, it would be useful to someplace like Brickbay, where it could be used to automatically calculate shipping charges based on weight.

| | | | | | | | | (...) Hmm... what would it take? Assume that ABS plastic's volume relates directly to its weight-- and then all you need to do is calculate volume using Ldraw parts. So weigh something like a 2x10, a 2x4, a 1x1, and a few odds and ends... then check (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

An interesting thought... variables would be opaque vs translucent ABS (TLC appears to use different molds, so there may be differences in thickness), parts per baggie, etc. Also, raw volumetric calculations might give a hint to what size box (...)

I ship MISB sets out of BrickBay, and I have never once paid for shipping charges based on weight---it's always gone by volume. LEGO packaging has just too much air in (...)
