The recent Ecto-1 might be the only set I did a hard pass on applying all the stickers. Since it's based on the recent film, it's meant to look a bit old and busted. So there's 38 out of 53 stickers that are just rust decals. I wanted to keep my Ecto-1 clean. I've also seen other people display their Ecto-1 without these stickers.

I pretty much only apply the headlight and taillight stickers on any car builds I buy. I bypass the stickers on most of my Speed Champions models too.

I seem to remember back in my youth a handful of the older sets required a sticker be applied across multiple bricks at one time. These were particularly annoying, since it became impossible to break a set back down without permanently damaging it. Since this was over a decade ago I am afraid I cannot recall many specific details, but I do remember at least one set with the offending multi-brick stickers was an automobile of some kind.

The Jungle Cutter from Indiana Jones did that. number decals spread across two 1x2 slope pieces that could have EASILY been replaced with a single 2x2 slope and avoid the whole issue. Ticks me off to this day.

Most of my issues with stickers would be resolved if they simply included two of each sticker sheet, that way if you badly bungled putting on the sticker, you could peel it off and have a second shot.

I'm fine with most stickers. What's inexcusable in my opinion: those big stickers that go over multiple pieces. I haven't seen them in a while, so I'm hoping they stopped with them altogether. EDIT: Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I'm actually too young to remember this on real LEGO. I saw it in another video. MY memory is actually from an off-brand set my uncle got me as a kid.

But with stickers, they could make more of the same piece and not have it specially printed, and just have the stickers needed in a specific set. Also what if they the same piece but have to make several prints for different sets, they could just use stickers. And another thing you said about limiting printed bricks? HAVING STICKERS LITERALLY LIMITS THE PRINTS AND ONLY USES PRINTS WHEN NEEDED BECAUSE THEY USE STICKERS. And with stickers, builds can be more detailed without having to make specialized printed bricks.

I was once recommended to use hook the sticker to the edge of a separator and gently place it. Peeling them off last sec when you didn't aligned well becomes a breeze, now all my sets have perfect stickers.

As a Speed Champions fan, EVERY set is sticker haven. I expected that there will be less stickers on the sets every since they went from 6 studs-wide to 8 studs-wide since more detail can be brick built but that was clearly not the case. In race cars especially it feels like every 10th piece you put needs a sticker thanks to all the logos and complex shapes used by today's race cars. Double packs are even worse as they often come with TWO stickers sheets with each having more than TWENTY if not THIRTHY different stickers and that's not counting duplicates. The great majority of building time with Speed Champions comes from applying the stickers alone, and that's not even counting the extra time spent if you want to properly align the stickers. LEGO even had a bad habit of splitting headlights of cars into two or more different stickers each(looking at you GR Supra) which makes me so glad that starting this year LEGO has finally decided to exclusively print headlights which honestly removes a lot of frustration regarding them.

The Space Shuttle cargo bay door stickers were the stuff of nightmares. So many stickers to align perfectly on an internal curve! (Twice). But no Canadair sticker for the arm. Tut Tut.

@@TheFrogChannel the problem is that LEGO has made several jumps, both with and without inflation. Similar sized sets should be similar priced over time (obviously accounting for inflation, a 10$ set 10 years ago would obviously not be 10$ now), but LEGO has many sets that are definitely not in that position. Personally removing stickers and printing everything would be at lest something to make those increases feel more… I dunno legitimate?

how much paper and adhesives would they save by printing on the part vs printing sheets of stickers? I can't imagine printing on the part is more costly or time consuming than stickers that any 8 year old would be challenged with applying correctly. The boxes do say "8+" after all.

One time I built a LEGO set that had SO MANY STICKERS. I can definitely relate to this video. Also, stickers are SUCH A PAIN to get lined up properly, one time I had a sticker that was upside down, and when I re-placed it on it was NOT STRAIGHT. LEGO stickers are PAINFUL.

The 75312 "Boba Fetts Starship" has these annoying stickers awfully visible in the front by the stud shooters under the cockpit. You have to stick 2 Stickers on those weirdly shaped 2 x 4 convex pieces with no room of error at all. I had a very "good" time sticking these.

Ugh.

This is probably a controversial opinion, but I actually do prefer stickers to an extent simply because they're a lot more optional than hyper-specialized printed pieces. I have a lot of parts that have a cool shape or are in a unique colour that I just can't use outside of the main set because they're printed rather than stickered.

The recent space shuttle used large mirror stickers on the concave part of the shuttle doors.

Almost any lego racing car has entirely too many stickers. That's really the what puts me off from the Speed Champions line, despite some cool car designs.

Dude I haven´t seen you post a video in so long. When I saw this, I jumped up, got here as fast as i could, and here I am! Thanks for the video!

Probably one of the more painful placements is the reflective ones in the cargo bay for the recent Space Shuttle set

Anyone getting filtered by Lego sticker placements would not survive building a Gunpla model.

The thing that annoys me on the recent Speed Champions sets is that sometimes you build alot of tiny pieces and then you have to remove them to place the stickers because the instruction mention them later ..

For minifigures, then prints are an absolute yes. But otherwise I wish everything was a sticker or no print at all, simply because sometimes I want to use a part but it's printed weird. I can understand it for road signs and such, but I've got some weird printed parts. I've painted over prints or scrubbed them away with Brasso so many times it's not even funny. Though they should limit how many stickers they use and where they're used, I don't think printing everything is the answer either. Then you get stuff like Bionicle where it never needed prints because the parts were detailed to begin with, but Hero Factory used prints that were often annoying. How am I supposed to use an armor plate that says "Furno 3.0" on anything that isn't Furno 3.0? Wish it was a sticker, or not even there.

Batman was not joking in building in only black and sometimes very very dark grey. That colour is 1% lighter than black.

There is a plain white sticker in the 42096 set that goes on the roof that seems to only serve the purpose of making the roof nice and white next to all the other stickers that cover that model.

The original Jabba's Sail Barge 6210 was released before they had 3x2 tiles. They used a 1x2 and 2x2 next to each other with a single 3x2 size sticker across the two of them!

Honestly I don't even bother with stickers, because then it limits what I can do with the bricks afterwards. With very few exceptions I usually build a set once and then use the pieces for MOCs.

The original Imperial Dropship has a few Imperial icon stickers to be applied. One is applied in the middle, but the other two are incorrectly applied 90 degrees. It gets better, as its promotional images all have the stickers displayed wrong at 90 degrees. Also all these stickers are on my favorite piece, the "super smooth" slope. The anniversary version appears to display the stickers correctly this time. Another set I have with sticker issues is the Joker Lowrider from the Lego Batman Movie. The Joker has a gun with a flag that says "BANG" on it. The instructions tell you to put the BANG stickers on and they don't look right. The BANG stickers seem to be displayed wrong at a 90 degree angle compared to the promotional images that appear to be the correct way, which would be holding the gun horizontally so the BANG text is displayed horizontally, instead it's incorrectly displayed vertically.

Lego speed champion sets: Yeah, we're just gonna not talk about that.

I have two of these: The first one, when I was building some sort of prisoner transport van you had to apply first half the sticker, then add some more pieces, and then put the rest of the sticker. It was displayed in one step. The second one, you had to wrap a sticker around a rod piece.

Definatley got to be the Naboo Starfighter and Vulture Droid 7660. I got that set when it was released but instead of the stickers be translucent, they had white backgrounds. Can't find a single example of this online so I'll have to look through my old lego boxes becuase mine must be a truely unique version.

I have a lego set that breaks the rules: On 60304, or the Road Plates set, there is an image on the top of the box. It displays the parts included in the set integrated into other sets that include road plates. The other sets are blurred blue to prevent confusion. On one side of the image, the road connects to another set, which is a skatepark. For some reason, an orange road barrier that is included in the skatepark set is not blurred blue, making it appear as if it comes with the road plates set, even though it does not.

the worst stickers have to be the ones from old exo force and batman set that have to be placed around 2x2 round pieces. they never really wanted to stick and most of the time you had to jut readjust them every few days. also there were a few stickers across multiple pieces, have fun trying to keep those intact when disassembling your set. And I hate round stickers. I just never manage to rotate them exactly right... and it looks weird when they're more than a few degrees off...
