The last 2 new sets I have built (4560 & 3225)  have both had the same
problem with their stickers. The problem is that the other items inside the
MISB boxes must rub against the sticker sheet and cause them to come off the
sheet and stick on other items inside the box.

I've had a similar problem with a 3225 too - at first I thought that the box
had been returned to the shop after someon had opened it and pulled the
stickers off the backing.

They seem to stay on the elements OK though.

In the case of the 4560, it
damaged one of the instruction books. Is this a common problem? If it is,
why does TLC not put them in sealed bags?

While I am moaning about stickers, why can't TLC include spare sheets with
sets?

BTW 1 : I got replacements for the 4560, and am due to call TLC about the
3225 9am Monday. The 3225 may turn out to be a problem as it is not
officially distributed in the UK.

BTW 2  : Are the 4560 & 3225 the 2 worst train sets ever?

I purchased 44 3225s last year and I'd say most had peeling sticker problems. A perfectly flat and well-preserved sticker sheet was the exception, not the rule. -John (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
