The White Sticker comment is an interesting one because I thought LEGO had already found a solution to this problem as seen at the UCS Republic Gunship released in 2021. The sticker would be enough to cover the entire LEGO brick it overlayed, but the part that was "white" was actually transparent. It was a really awesome way to do it and I greatly applauded them for that. The only slight downside for some is that the whole sticker, including the transparent part, was very glossy; however, I thought the tradeoff was more than worth it. If you haven't seen those stickers, I would recommend looking into them as I feel like they would be a huge fix for these stickers on white bricks! Maybe they're expensive to make, but I think they would do the trick.

The problem with those were the tiny air bubbles underneath are very notable. This was also a big problem with partly transparent stickers on canopy pieces.

@FabuBrik 3 ай бұрын

They did the same thing with the new Ghost and I did not have any problems with bubbles for the normal pieces. Canopy pieces are an entirely different story and should always be printed.

@@BrickBuiltBennyair bubbles may be an issue, but doing it on a transparent sticker would be far more useful potentially, if not for Lego themselves then for MOC builders! I love this set but I can’t stand all white (or mostly) white builds! I’d rather build my own version of this set as a different astromech, something like R2-Q5. And transparent stickers would be a lot more helpful in doing that as I could’ve still used the sticker! As it is in my build these are just gonna have to be a plain colour no detail! I mean LEGO could do a whole series of astromechs at this size, like the helmet sets, if they’d thought about it a little.

6:44 Wait hold up. It’s a financial choice of Lego to not print those pieces. They have done way crazier prints in other sets.

@BrickBuiltBenny 3 ай бұрын

There are things we don’t know about production, and we can’t make assumptions. Yes, other sets might have more prints, but there are calculated reasons for these decisions. If it was easy, obviously everything would be printed. It’s just not that simple.

Goed filmpje. Ik wil je wel graag de tip meegeven dat je moet opletten op jouw schuttingtaal in het Engels. In Europa denken wij dat het in het Engels heel normaal is om vloek- of andere stevige woorden te gebruiken, maar dat is het niet. Een tip: gebruik "heck" ipv Hell, "darn" ipv damn. Hiermee blijft jouw content ook voor Engelstalige kinderen beschikbaar. Voor Engelstaligen klinkt het grof om deze woorden zo te gebruiken in een Lego filmpje.

If anyone is complaining about stickers because they don’t last for the long haul, they 100% are doing a horrible job applying them. I’ve built hundreds of sets for over 2 decades now and I’ve never had an instance where the sticker just peeled off on its own after applying it completely flat on a part. If your stickers are peeling, you’re probably allowing the sticker to overhang on a part, playing with the set way too roughly, or you’re displaying it in poor conditions (like right in front of a window constantly being exposed to sunlight).

@BrickBuiltBenny 2 ай бұрын

That’s the thing though, for a children’s toy you should be able to play with it “roughly” without stickers peeling off in no time.

@h2owl205 2 ай бұрын

@@BrickBuiltBennywhen I say roughly, I mean ROUGHLY. I played with my legos heavily when I was a kid, and again I never had any issues with stickers peeling off on their own over time

@BrickBuiltBenny Ай бұрын

Well so did I and a bunch of them did actually start peeling on their own.
