Alcarin Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ok So we all heard/read about how to make sure your LEGO boxes for investing are kept safe, but I ha another issue. In my country, we get ''huge'' stickers on LEGO boxes, marking where the sets come from etc etc. Its about 3x3,5 cm sticker. Should we leave that intact or try to get it off and endanger damaging the box? If we should get it off, is there a way I am not aware of how to do it more elegantly than only hope not to damage ? Any ideas and answers welcomed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkers97 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'd say leave them on because that kind of assures people that the set is bran new when you try to sell it again, and then you're not in any danger of ruining the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emazers Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Sometimes you can get the stickers off by using a hair dryer, set it on medium heat start at one end and pull it real slow, and if there is any sticky residue left use Goo Gone.

dunkers97 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hair dryer is smart and Goo Gone gets the job done but you know "better safe than sorry" right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS!!! A hair dryer can/will usually do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 For me it depends on where the sticker is. Front of the box, I will try to remove it. Bottom of the box - like the TRU security sticker - I usually just leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lego Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah, they are in the back or in the bottom. I would just leave it on there then if that's where the sticker is located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
