Though the printing method TLC uses is definitely more rugged than a decal.
Printed/Stickered parts are such a tricky thing. If I want to use the graphic
the way it is intended, I definitely prefer a printed part. If I am not going
to use it as intended, I prefer a sticker (which I can then totally not use,
or use somewhere else). Of course multi-brick decorations need to be a sticker
(and there a sticker would probably be better than a decal since it has some
body to resist damage if the two parts get jiggled).
I'm not sure what the overall lifespan of those static cling transfers are,
but they aren't any thicker really than a sticker, and do have the advantage
of being removable, so in one sense I'd like to see them used (but I suspect
they would fall off far sooner than a sticker or decal).
