I've been pretty impressed by LEGO stickers. They are made of a pretty
rugged paper and I have always found that if a sticker was stuck on well
(if not in quite the right position), that you can pretty much always
lift it and re-apply it (though I'm sure there is a pretty low limit for
the number of times you can re-use a sticker).
