Enough is enough. Let's vote!

Let's make it easy for them. The official weight limit is 4.0 There are other weight classes that you can play by, but 4.0 is where the MFCA recommends that you start

It doesn't make it easy to start, believe me ! The guy who just bought a miggle gameboard set, or found an used tudor set will have anything but fab5 teams and standard rookie bases and ttc bases. FAR from the 4.0 grams limit.

SO he will have to buy a precision scale (= more money spent, more work before start playing, more technical confusion since the beginner will discover that the stuff he bought is not "standard" ), and find how to weight all his athletes to match the "standard" 4.0grams (base lead additions, or new MF or jennings teams... = more money spent). And if after that, he want to paint the teams, add facemasks, he will have to setup the weight another time to fit the paint, modelling flock, facemask and whatever he added to the figure.

ANd what about people coming in the hobby buying Diamond products ? Will you tell them that their diamond fig+diamond base combo is not "standard" ? You see what I mean.


When I started a few month ago, I just had some iron men fab5 teams, a few ttc and rookie miggle bases. I started to add customs, buy a precision scale and stuff like that after a while. But I believe I played my first MF months outside of the 4.0 grams "standard"


It's the weakness of a unique standard. Of course, we always can use the other weight classes, but you'll see that it will confuse beginners, and depreciate veterans choices too or even some MF current (or future) products.
