ACPin Posted March 24, 2017 Very seldom use the sticker sheets when building sets and have kept them together in a box through the years... Love them or hate them!? AC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted March 24, 2017 Outch, thats an epic collection. Maybe sell them? But certainly not to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K_Tiger Posted March 24, 2017 By and large I think stickers are no bueno, but I have been known them on rare occasions. I think the fiery skeleton stickers from the Queen Anne's Revenge are pretty cool, and I check BL occasionally if a set of glass with them applied is available from a US seller.

VaderFan2187 Posted March 24, 2017 Wow, nice collection. Does anyone know if the stickers by LEGO nowadays still peel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tech Artist Posted March 25, 2017 I hate stickers. Personally I think they are lazy and the worst part of Lego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted March 25, 2017 The occasional sticker is OK, but I'd say I leave about 95%+ of them off... and I have a similar collection of sticker sheets! One observation about how my attitude towards stickers has changed over the years, though: Part of my dislike stemmed from when I was younger and didn't have all that much Lego; when the stickers limited the use of a piece (especially when Lego still did STAMPs - UGH!!) I'd not use them for fear of being caught short of a part I needed later or trying to peel a sticker off at that point. With a much larger collection where part scarcity isn't really an issue, I'm much more willing to put on the occasional sticker if it seems like it'll actually enhance a build. Anyone else evolve over time like that re: sticker use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tafkatb Posted March 25, 2017 I've also evolved over time in my attitude to stickers. I still leave them off most of the time, but up until a few years ago I just flat-out didn't even buy any sets that had them. I've learned enough about the production process to understand why they're necessary, but I still prefer brick-built detailing over any sort of surface decoration (stickered or printed) any day. With regard to your own collection, I imagine that Platform 9¾ sticker has got to be worth something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JopieK Posted March 25, 2017 Very nice, I also collect original stickers, if I want to reproduce stickers I always want to have the originals first. Stickers are not a problem, the fact they are sometimes so expensive and difficult to use is the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niku Posted March 25, 2017 Lot of stickers for sure! I personally dont like them but understand that printing every part would be expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCMatze Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) I usually do not apply stickers for reuse and flexibility purposes of the bricks. When I want to apply them (e.g. on my Millennium Falcon) I order a new sheet so I have one spare! Occasionally on very small sets with 1 or 2 stickers I do apply them to keep or train my sticker skills haha :-) Edited March 26, 2017 by KCMatze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkdragon Posted March 27, 2017 I keep stickers packed away for use. I don't typically use them on the sets they came with, except for certain things I keep built or if they are cool (like the haunted mansion). Often when making a BL order I will add a lot of stickers to my order if I can imagine them being useful for MOCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
