Followups here too because I thought the whole sticker discussion is surely a general thing, and I'm really curious to see what others think of stickers I'm *really* warming up to them lately. I've been tempted (especially after getting a 8448) to simply go to brickbay and buy all the same pieces that have to have stickers on them and simply 'double up' on those pieces that would have stickers on them. I did this for the 8448 and it was really cool because the stickers just complete the model. I'm tempted to do the same for the silver champion and go ahead and put stickers on that one too. As an aside, damn, that train looks freakin' awesome!

(...) Years ago, I used to always use the Lego stickers. But one day I realized that I don't have to put on the stickers unless doing so actually added something to the _piece_.
