Just for the record, I hate stickers. In the last month I put together
C-3P0, the stormtrooper and the ucs x-wing and I have never seen so many
stickers in my life. I am anti-sticker from now on.

I have the wrinkling sticker problem on the feet also. Just curious does any
one else have a problem with the side window stickers on the ucs x-wing? The
tips keep wanting to pop off on mine, I may need to see if I can get more
sent to me as well.

I made a stop by Target today to make sure they hadn't lowered their clearance prices anymore, and they had the 8007 C3PO. $29.97. I just got through assembling the set. First my rants :) This set would have been much better if there had been more (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)
