It's all good my man. I don't see the discussion on weight tearing anything apart. There has been some good feedback from everyone on this. We are blessed right now to have the choice of play weights, we are faced with a lot of great choices in figures that are available right now. This is a good thing in my opinion, newbies, returning coaches, and those who don't have extra money to spend on the various figures that are available, can always fall back on the fab 5, base 'dem boys up and let 'em ride, ya know?!

If they come in at 3.2, they can easily be brought up to weight. There are a lot of good posts about adding weight to a figure. It's all about returning coaches and newbies getting their skill set on and being taught from the more experienced, "fellowshipping" if you will. If I have a smoking 4.0 or unlimited team and I am going against a newbie or returning coach, I would glady put my bad boys in their locker room and get out my Miggle ironman squad.

Now onto another train of thought, as a matter of fact, a custom figure based up at 3.8 grams for instance, could he be at a slight disadvantage if going against a Miggle bigman that had weight added to him to equal 3.8 grams?
Those experienced in tweaking and that have an understanding of base/figure physics may be able to use the ability to add weight to a figure where they need it, thus making for a more effective tweak, in turn making a better running, more powerful player than the custom figure at 3.8 with no weight added.

I think that everyone has agreed to disagree on the weight issue, At this point you can not simply state a weight in grams and make that the standard. We can all apply weight rules to our leagues and tourneys as needed and agreed upon by participants.

Please read my post on that thread, 3.2 ain't going now where anytime soon.

I am also from the old school, where they say you run what you brung!

If I show up to a gunfight with a knife, the next time I go to that gunfight, guess what I'm gonna have?!
