I agree with the sticker issue, however there is a fine line! I think stickers
are OK if they only represent a logo, numbering or words. I don't think using
stickers to mask colors and create stripes... is legit. In many of the model
railroad decal packs there is striping, and for painted HO models that's fine
but not for lego models. In fact I am sometimes disappointed with the stickers
that LEGO has made. For instance I really like the club car (including the
color scheme) but those bricks with the curved r,w,b stripe just rubs me the
wrong way. Certainly a quandary.

| (...) I agree. When I think stickers I think text, numbers, maybe some type of display screen (possibly), or a logo. I even like the credit card billboards I've seen. (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
