I would assume that Lego precisely measures the individual bags, not the entire set. What the author said about a missing bag pretty much confirms my suspicion of this. They must have some QA measure to determine the number of bags included, but weighing the entire box will result in less precision than the individual bags. Not to mention, if it does show up as less weight, the entire box needs to be checked out, not just one bag.
- Someone 15y agoThey can measure the bags, but that does not guarantee that those bags end up in the box. Also, there is a series on Discovery called "How it's made" (or so) I remember seeing one about Lego; they did measure the box. That leaves open the risk of exchanging bags. Maybe, they are decreasing that by making sure that all bags hanging around when they are filling boxes for a particular set are different in weight? I do not know whether that makes sense for huge sets, though. The variance in weight between boxes would, at some set size, outstrip the average size of a bag.
