badgerboy Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I know this is a very old problem, but for various reasons, I've only just discovered it. Annoyingly, I have the wrong sticker with my UCS Falcon - stating "12 Quad Cannons". Obviously I don't want to apply that to the display stand... I've checked with Lego customer services but unsurprisingly, they don't have the correct sticker left in stock. I've already applied the control stickers, invalidating my warranty as-it-were! So now I have a valueless alternate with the wrong wording, grrr! Simply put, I'm after the "2 Quad" variety so I can finish my model. I can't offer much in the way of recompense - certainly not Bricklink prices... I wondered, if someone has a spare of the sticker would they part with it for P&P? I'll consider trading a mini-fig or two for it, but in the end it's just a sticker and IMO not worth that much compared with actual Lego pieces... obviously I'm old enough to understand supply and demand, hence the mini-fig concession. I hope someone in the AFOL community will have a spare - or know where I could locate one... where else would all those surplus ones have gone from "lego service"? Please feel free to PM me with an offer if you can help...

Usually that works even when they 'don't have that part in stock any more'
badgerboy Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Have you tried submitting it as missing on the Lego service website? Yeah, that was my first port of call - they were really cool, they even searched other places for me! Unfortunately, the stickers are no longer in stock and so that's it. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Follows Closely Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I know this is a very old problem, but for various reasons, I've only just discovered it. Annoyingly, I have the wrong sticker with my UCS Falcon - stating "12 Quad Cannons". ... That may be worth more than the correct one. Mine is still sealed, or I would trade.
badgerboy Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 I'm not keen on trading the incorrect sticket tbh... but I suppose it would help if I listed the things I am willing to trade: (using Bricklink id numbers) bat001 Batman bat002 Batman bat004 Two Face sw157 Grand Moff Tarkin sw213 R2-Q5 sw040a Royal Guard x2 I've got these magna guard parts also: 61194 Tan Minifig, Cape Cloth, Long with Tattered Edge (Magna Guard) x2 sealed in white card box 61192pb01 Tan Minifig, Head Modified Magna Guard with Cloak x2 I also have a spare of the 30th Anniversary sticker 10179stk02 I'd really appreciate any help trying to track the correct sticker!
