Danth, it's almost like you can read my mind, because you have really listed all the reasons why I prefer printed bricks over stickers.
Have you any ideas on that? The first thought that comes to mind is a petition, but I honestly don't feel like it would be useful, since Lego already seems to be aware of the many people who would prefer to have printed parts.
I must say, before reading this thread, I didn't even know that some people actually prefered stickers. Has anyone ever made a poll to know what's the general preference?
