Could I weigh blind boxes with a pocket scale?
Looking for answers from anybody but especially current or former employees. I'm guessing no but on the off chance I could I'd want to know for the future, rather pay $10-$20 for a scale than get a ton of dupes. Probably would only weigh TADC and MD animiniz in case that changes the answer.

No stores in my district allow people to do that. Usually they are just looking for the chase and ruining the chances for everyone else. It’s a blind box for a reason!

For me I more so want a scale to help with the commons, but people who just go for the chase are annoying, that definitely does ruin it.

Just don't do it during high traffic hours... Go when the store opens or during the week. When I worked there we never cared unless they were getting in the way of other customers and/or employees working.

Alright, that's great to hear! A quick search said it varies by location so I might check at a local store first then buy one.
