VINYL Vinylmation collectors - Is This Story TRUE??
I am NOT a Vinylmation collector - but a friend who is sent me this. Is this TRUE??
"Seems people are now going to the parks with digital postage scales and weighing the blind box figures to determine what's inside. For instance 2 of the more recent chasers have and extra piece to make the neck longer, so the box weighs slightly more. Or if the figure comes with a hat it's easy to tell with a digital scale. The new park 9 set has the Dapper Dans.. red is the standard color, but there's harder to find variants of the other 3 color 'Dans'.. So now you just weigh the box and because of the hat you know you have a Dapper Dan. Or I read that the Ghost Obi-Wan from the Star Wars set is like 1.5 ounces lighter than the regular because it's a clear plastic they use on him. So that's the new scam. Sit there and weigh boxes till you find the right one".
