By coincidence, Turner Classic Movies is showing the Wizard of Oz at 8/7c tonight. Starts in 20 minutes, I might watch it.
I must be thinking of something else. Sorry. I don't care about the latest releases, so I don't pay attention.
I think you can get them straight from the mint.
Most scales weigh a lot more than 1 oz, especially the top of the line ones. The better question is how precise and accurate you want the scale to...
