If that was the weight it had for the entire stock, then it's probably no guarantee. They most likely put the heaviest weight of all the boosters as the "official" weight so they wouldn't have to readjust shipping expenses for a Felcor booster.

Ok, if it's the FedEx track then it's a possibility. What good luck you have. ;)

Watch it be a defect booster filled solely with knobby white spiders and tie crawlers. Laugh No, you have a better then average chance of pulling a felcor....I think Confused

No, nothing weighs as much as the Felcor. The Golan turret is semi heavy I think

Nothing else in the set really compares to it. If the booster has weight to it, it's a felcor.

if u really wanted a felcor why not just buy one for the same price of a booster?
i understand its better getting it in a booster, but this way u don't have to depend on a calculated guess.

OK, time to be supergeek - using the food scale, I found (in pounds):

.084 Uggernaut
.117 Luke's Snowspeeder
.128 Rebel Troop Cart
.130 Junk Golem
.137 Golan Turret
.150 Knobby White
.161 Wookiee Hunter AtSt
.245 TIE crawler
.251 Tank Droid
.556 Felcor

and for reference: .593 original Rancor

You can take it for what it is. Of course, you need to tell us what was in there.

Agreed.

Now squid, you have to make up the heaviest possible FU booster using felcor, 1 R (Rauntaun maybe?), and the heaviest 2 U's and 3C's...(I think is the distribution of a huge booster...) See if you can get to 1.2 lbs. (Does it sound like we're going Mythbusters to anyone else??? :)

Don't forget about the Hoth Trooper with Repeating Blaster, he's a big SOB.

NOOOO...i relaly dont need a rauntain theyre not THAT heavy are they? now that i think abut it, revan is pretty heavy for a SWM fig (he seems bulky) ;)

@ shatterpoint7: didnt buy the FU online just for a possibilty of ta felcore but needed a lot of figs in there so i said "heck why not"? :P also, the plastic pkges and the box and the checklist cant be THAT much...

@ dead horse: i literally thought about my title right before i posted it...;)

@ squid89: NICE! though, is it really only a bit more than .500 LB for a felcore? BC when i sent out (ONLY) a felcore in a trade, it weighed around 12 oz...either way, 1.2 LBs is really heavy.

@jedispyder: actually, ive gotten a couple of the hoth w/blasters, and theyre pretty light. its only a bunch of skinny cannon "limbs" and a hoth trooper on it; on a large base


also note, im assuming theyre sending the FU box in ANOTHER box, for "official" purpose (i think).

also, the pkge hasnt come yet; its actualy being shipped to my borders, its on its way from OHIO!!!!

all in all, heres the list i compiled, the "heavier" characters (plz plz dnt call me a geek :P , theyre just estimates by weighing them in my hand):

HUGES ive seperated, you cant relaly count those with the larges/mediums/smalls...:

HUGES (note: thx to squid89 for the research on the HUGES. geek!!! :P )


HEAVIEST:
Felcore (this is a no-brainer...)

HEAVY:
Tank Droid
TIE Crawler
Wookie Hunter AT-ST

MEDIUM:
Knobby White Spider
Golan Turret
Junk Golem
Rebel Troop Cart

LIGHT:
Luke's Snowspeeder

LIGHTEST:
Uggernaught

now for the larges/mediums/smalls...:

HEAVIEST:
Rebel Tauntaun
Darth Revan
Obi Unleashed
Loda(?)
Vader Unleashed
Emperors Shadow Guard
Bob Merc(?)
Amanian Scout


all the other figs are usually not in some "cool" postition that requires more plastic to mold (Ex. Garm, whos just standing there, hands on hips)

LOL, i also know that to keep in mind:

-weight of FU box (its so hollow, it weighs almost NOTHING)
-plastic bags full of air
-cardboard that is usually protecting the huges
-pkge pkging the pkge? (i HAD to say that :P )
-checklist (weighs less than a fig)

...all in all, hopefully im geting a felcore AND maybe revan (who knows?) maybe...:

Felcore
Revan
Shadow Guard
Amanian Scout
4 Cs (they all weigh about the same except the ugs)
???
