Does it say what each piece weighs somewhere? Because you could then count the pieces and multiply by their respective weights.

I would suggest getting a food scale (electronic is usually best) and measure the exact weight of many of the same type of rod (you never know if they changed the plastic composition overtime,) that would most likely be the best tactic, average it out with a mean, and your pretty much golden for getting weights, unless there is a HUGE variance (too much change) in the weight from rod to rod, then you'll have to seperate them into piles of similar weights...
