Groups that likely to have a lot of stickers: - Race cars - Maersk ships - Old train sets - Sport teams

[@gugildak12]

and now Lego Xtra

[@adinakruijssen3056]

@@gugildak12 yeah but those are more like the old train example he showed - extras that you can add to whatever for customization. Like you mainly get stickers, and gotta source the bricks lol. I actually really like those accessory packs (Chinese decorations, sports pack, the one with traffic lights), wish they had more.

[@ground_news]

It was great working with you, SpitBrix! Ground News usually tries to avoid bias, but just for today we've decided to take a brave stance on this whole sticker debate. There IS such a thing as too many stickers.

[@alexeecs]

I don't think there's really a debate, unless the other side is just Lego corporation

[@chasleyygt]

Wat.

[@cheezytoxins8652]

For me too many stickers could just be 1

Ok I decided to rank these sets on stickers over bricks ratio: #15 - Diagon Alley: 1.97% (109/5544) #14 - Exo-Force Sentai Fortress: 6.98% (101/1448) #13 - Maersk Line Triple-E: 8.76% (133/1518) #12 - Ferrari Ultimate Garage: 10.23% (86/841) #11 - Brick Street Customs: 12.14% (124/1021) #10 - Street Extreme: 14.27% (108/757) #9 - Inter-City Passenger Train: 14.76% (116/786) #8 - Ferrari F-1 Team: 17.36% (126/726) #7 - Grand Championship Cup: 20.07% (110/548) #6 - Push-Along Train: 21.83% (98/449) #5 - High-Speed Train: 22.01% (162/736) #4 - Maersk Line Container Ship: 70.45% (155/220) #3 - Team Transport Bus: 94.44% (119/126) #2 - NBA Basketball Teams: 1500.00% (300/20) #1 - Brick Stickers: 1775.00% (213/12)

[@Whydoesthissitesuck]

Diagon Alley doesn't seem so bad after all

[@user-sp6uk8lf5k]

why 213/12? there is should be a 213/17 or why you didnt subtruct number of sticker sheets in other sets?

[@dragonsl8r]

@@user-sp6uk8lf5k sets usually dont count sticker sheets as pieces, this one is probably odd

[@justarandomtechpriest1578]

#1 needs a few more stickers for the extra 1 percent

[@musicwiggle22]

​@@dragonsl8rI agree but I remember a set having the sticker sheet listed in the instructions

[@redstarwarrior85]

Customization stickers aren’t an issue to me as they are completely optional, but required stickers are, especially when small.

[@Gameprojordan]

Yeah like half of the 007 Aston Martin stickers are just alternate license plates based on the license plates used in previous bonds, they also gave you a bunch of 3x1 plates to stick them onto so you can freely swap between them without having to peel the stickers off and replace them

[@hinkleprincess]

Back then, most speed champion sets relied entirely on stickers just to look good. They use a lot less stickers on speed champions nowadays though.

[@Radian43]

2021 speed champions were sorta criticized for having tons of stickers. 2022 line used a lot less stickers

[@kakschoen]

The recent Mercedes-AMG set has two times 3 stickers, just to represent a single window on the car. Speed Champions definetely don't have fewer stickers today.

[@ryon5174]

The 8-stud wide speed champions sets aren’t really different I have the Audi Quattro and the Countach, both of which have a decently large amount of stickers The Nissan Nismo even moreso, relying on those decals a lot

[@fortnitesexman]

any stickers is too many stickers

[@hinkleprincess]

@@kakschoen You are right about that

[@PhoenixClank]

I think it would make more sense to sort these sets by "sticker density", as in stickers per piece.

[@RustyToaster]

Yeah, like dark trooper attack where 9% of the pieces have stickers on them

[@Lost_n_Found_1]

lol

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Lego: This Racers set is Street Extreme SpitBrix: Is the street REALLY extreme, or is it just the excessive amount of stickers- Lego: *DID I STUTTER?* While the train sets do have a lot of stickers, the fact that Lego went the extra mile gave you the opportunity to further customize it whether it be a Belgian train or a British one rather than just a generic sticker like the newer train sets is a nice touch. And Diagon Alley is a Louvre masterpiece of a set, so all those stickers are a small price to pay for salvation

[@kailahmann1823]

Also Diagon Alley has by far the most parts for all sets on this list. There it's one sticker per 50 pieces, while those Racers sets often were about one per 10…

[@acmenipponair]

nowadays most train companies wouldn't even allow LEGO to use their logos on the trains, as they are nowadays all registered trademarks and the companies private = they want to see money for using them. in the 1980s they were public companies = their logos were public domain

[@scratch577]

If any of you guys need something to help place the stickers better I would use the wedge part of a brick separator and place it on what side of the sticker of the hand you use (if your right handed use the right side of the sticker and left handed use the left side of it). This is more useful for stickers 4x4 and below. For bigger stickers use the separator on your hand side and finger on the other side to place in on. Hope this helps.

[@scratch577]

If the grammar is bad I’m sorry but if you need a video I’ll post one on my channel

[@DarthPerkins]

That is excellent advice. I usually do the same, but with my hand. I'll be using that separator in future.

[@Weebdotexe]

i would recommend using metal tweezers

[@DarthPerkins]

@@Weebdotexe I'm being fussy about this, but that may leave marks. I used the separator method with the new AT-RT, and it worked fantastically well. Perfect stickers.

[@ryanmackenzie7651]

That's my biggest issue with Ninjago City Gardens! That set contains so many stickers it actually made the building process less exciting for me! But that set still turned out absolutely incredible at the end!

[@kakschoen]

I agree, it just kind of stops you in your tracks everytime you need to apply another sticker

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

You know when you know you have a good day? When you manage to place lego stickers correctly :)

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Perhaps a good torture method for our camps is to make prisoners put a Lego sticker on perfectly. Love how for the team transport bus set, they kept the middle of the blue striped flag at 5:18 blank so you could pretend you're the national team of Argentina, El Salvador, Honduras, or Nicaragua. If that was a mistake, then it was a good one. As long as you don't use the stickers to replicate Honduras vs El Salvador...which once led to actual conflict.

[@m.dbrixproductions8929]

LEGO just released a LEGO set with printed pieces , stickers are goneee! Wait this is a dream since LEGO doesn’t care about how much money we are giving them.

[@Nikioko]

For other companies, pad printed bricks are normal. But Lego won't change this as long as people still buy their product, which are becoming worse and worse, btw.

[@kkkrhtkhkll]

@@Nikioko yeah, cobi which was sued by Lego and called a copycat has pad printed bricks for years

[@Cheeseitsproductions]

I like the idea of customisation with stickers and I would like them to return, possibly in creator expert or speed champions sets but they should include extra bricks to put those extra stickers on

[@xinlu2806]

They actually sometimes do this, many of the creator expert cars have multiple different license plate options.

[@Ray-dw3wg]

The Harry Potter magical trunk (set 76399) has a sticker sheet with about 40 to 50 harry potter styled stickers that you can use to customize the set but they can be used for other sets too. I miss the days when lego released books that had sticker sheets. If I remember they had city, castle, and space related stickers in different books.

[@whyle5318]

one of the formula one cars has that ability

[@kailahmann1823]

The new 007 Aston Martin also comes with a ton of optional stickers and the same number of tiles.

[@JifferOderSo]

Prints are way better

[@NathanSpies]

Stickers are pointless, printing is easier

[@TXnine7nine]

Exactly. Stickers are supposedly cheaper to produce than printed pieces but they continue to increase both the price and the sticker count in these new sets.

[@epiknis3035]

I had the street extreme set as a kid, and man, it was so fun. It was all the good parts of hot wheels with all the good parts of Lego.

[@patrickyew864]

I hate stickers It makes the bricks unusable in other builds

[@bluescat581]

Exactly!

[@BrickHQ]

Certain lego themes are known to have many stickers, like harry potter. There are a few themes that are all printed, like super mario (though mario has the factory applied scan stickers). Lego nowadays has a lot less stickers than 20 years ago. That being said there still are plenty of stickers in a lot of Lego sets Nowadays a print piece that's made usually will appear in more than one set, or is supposed to be a unique piece to a set.

[@georgegeorgiev7057]

Yeah. The a-hole sticker on the tallneck from Horizon: Zero Dawn will definitely appear in more sets...

[@Chumbalayaa]

I know people usually hate the stickers, but it's one of my favorite parts! I put the stickers on the piece separator and it makes it much easier to apply. My fiancé also delegates all the stickers to me so I feel powerful after applying stickers correctly

[@goldenemerald830]

I haven't tried that yet, but i might today

[@pwcorgi2000]

Personally I rarely use the stickers. Sure, the build items may look more drab, but it makes the pieces more usable for other builds.

The race car being covered with stickers? Yes, that's accurate to reality.

[@TXnine7nine]

aaaaaaaand I’m dead

[@ReyMysterioX]

I'm not a fan of stickers, but I can see their benefit in cases. Where I can absolutely not understand the overabundance of stickers is in the high price sets. When I pay an absolute premium on Lego, I expect a premium. Having to apply stickers in 300€ sets is just disappointing. I love Ninjago and Monkey Kid, but the amount of stickers in these sets is just too much. The designs are awesome, but I'd prefer if these were printed.

[@TXnine7nine]

Stickers are supposedly cheaper than print pieces yet they continue to charge more and more for sets with even more stickers.

[@kailahmann1823]

@@TXnine7nine The production cost makes almost no difference - it's the logistics: If you put 100 printed pieces into a set, that's also 100 unique pieces Lego has to handle in it's production. And if you add this up to all products, you quickly end with two, if not three times the current number of different parts.

[@shrouddreamer]

@@kailahmann1823 And yet, when you look at the polish company COBI, they use prints everywhere, produce only in the EU and still their sets are cheaper than Lego's...

[@kailahmann1823]

Cobi has a much smaller and very specialized lineup - mostly military, almost no technic… All this reduces the number of colors and different molds greatly and leaves room for other kinds of variation (they also have a lot of very specialized molds).

[@studioplopmemes2985]

the train set is actually pretty cool that they made stickers for different railroad companies

[@MetxsightseerRailfan]

One of the sets I know that has way too many stickers is the Lego Maersk Ship.

[@KnightedSilverWolf]

I HATE STICKERS, I NEVER BOTHERED WITH MOST

[@SpartanNat]

When I was building my STS-31 Space Shuttle Discovery and Hubble Space Telescope, the radiators on the shuttle bay doors were giant silver stickers. It was a nightmare to put them on straight since they were so big. Edit: I’d like to give it to Mega for making their decals be PART of the brick now, most of, if not all of the time! Really makes building easier.

This video should be called: 'Lego committing war crimes for 10:07'

[@calebhall812]

Jesus, hearing the word "Exo-force" just threw my head back to my childhood where I had a comic/instruction booklet for one of the sets.

[@lordpyrinc1192]

Stickers start to peel off over time, likely due to humidity changes. I don't even bother anymore putting the stickers on my sets. While it's hard not to put stickers on some sets, I don't recommend doing so. In the long run they won't last, even if just having the sets on display. Bigger stickers can stay on longer, but even those bigger stickers can start to lift over time. It may take years of having the set on display, but it does happen. Printed bricks are so much better, plus if you want to make MOCs with the parts, it's better to leave them sticker free. Well, unless you have your own sticker printer and want to customize it for a period of time. Just don't expect those stickers to last over years.

When I was a kid, the Star Wars Episode III Tri Fighter from 2005 was a pain with the amount of stickers I had to apply, but the Speed Racer sets were ridiculously Sticker heavy at points.

[@wolterfox1332]

The Dark Trooper Attack is quite a cheap set but 15 stickers is insane!

[@huaiwei]

On this list, the true champions are the two Maersk ships, as you actually need to apply almost *all* those stickers. It is optional for the sets with more stickers than them. I have the #5 set, and gosh, the sticker operation is a stressful affair for OCD people like me who want all of them to be aligned perfectly. ;)

[@goldenemerald830]

8:40 I can see a lot of stickers, even a few stickers based off bricks. Now that's a lot of customization!

[@jonasfermefors]

Good video. I would have compared the number of stickers to the amount of pieces. In the Diagon Alley set there are 109 stickers for 5544 which comes out at almost 51 pieces for every sticker but Street Extreme has 757 pieces for it's 108 stickers and that comes out at only 7 pieces per sticker.. which I would say is way worse.

[@PendragonDaGreat]

In regards to set 10121 (the NBA one) The Thunder didn't have stickers because they didn't exist yet, because at the time they were the Seattle Supersonics (who do have stickers) and had yet to be stolen away to OKC (seriously, Seattle based NBA fans are still salty about how it went down). The team that's "Missing" is the Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets who didn't start playing until the year after the set released.

[@JV-pu8kx]

I sometimes wish they would lump the stickering steps together. Some people are better at applying stickers than others. Having the stickering steps grouped together a parent can go ahead and get that done.

[@ellie_diamond]

Well, for the Maersk set, they could have just printed all those tiles. That's one reason why lego prints pieces, to make it easier and less annoying for the builder to construct.

[@BfDelano]

There's "Woah, this has too many stickers", and then there's "Oh neat, that's a lot of stickers for customization.". That last set shown, I'm perfectly fine with that. So long as the cost to manufacture that many stickers for the set wasn't cost prohibitive, I'm all for it. The same with the train sets. Now most of those car sets, that's where I draw the line with stickers. The recent The Office set, I'm fine with the stickers on that one. That's the type of set that you'd build for display, and they gave you options to swap things out. Not an expert on these things, but I'm wondering if licensing for some of these is a factor. That the license allows stickers to be printed, but the pieces can't be "branded". Whereas stuff like Star Wars or Marvel licenses allow the parts to be printed.

[@zdelrod829]

Stickers are the bane of my existence. The amount of times that I have put the stickers on slightly sideways (and losing my mind over it), is insane.

[@spyroledragon]

The train set stickers is country dependent. I saw the SNCF logo which is the french train company "Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer".

[@blackhatfreak]

Set 40318 MSC Cruises is 181 pieces and has 30 stickers for what's essentially a micro build. That's 1 sticker for every 6 bricks which is insane.

[@lilpanda7643]

The damn stickers

[@legoferrari14]

I will say that in the defence of stickers that they are more versatile than printed pieces. With prints, while it saves "one-and-done" builders the headache of lining stickers up right and laying them on smooth, for more creative builders prints are a limitation. If a piece is a print it can only be used in places where the print logically makes sense within a build visually, otherwise they have to be hidden as a structural element or be left unused.

[@aeonjoey3d]

So when making toys with decals, the print run often has sort of minimum sizes that anything smaller is the same price. Soy for example if the printer’s cost for a sticker sheet has a range of 2x3” up to 6x8” for the same cost, then it’s a win-win situation where we can fill the sticker sheet with duplicates, alternatives and just fun stuff, die-cutting doesn’t add cost nor does the ink, so it’s a win win situation.

[@grafkrapfen4906]

Lego’s obsession with stickers is just ridiculous. There are manufactures like Cobi, who manage to only have prints on their bricks, while maintaining a fair price. And Lego continues to include tons of stickers while their prices are skyrocketing.

[@skiper7795]

1 sticker is too many stickers

[@strescicca]

i like how you dont say 100 "and" 8 but say one hundred eight. thats satisfying to me.

[@TheMacCheechMan]

if a lego set came with just 1 sticker, it would have too many

[@GearHeadedHamster]

I can't be the only one who actually enjoys applying stickers. Of course, given the choice between printed vs sticker, I'll go for the printed brick. But there's just something oddly satisfying about placing a sticker square and bubble free.

[@KWHCoaster]

The Triple-E, I didn't use any of the stickers. Not even the huge hull stickers. Also didn't care for the all grey corporate model look, so I used coloured bricks for the containers to make an in service ship. Double whammy, this set is also cursed with the crap brown pieces. I bought the set in 2014 and only recently assembled it and all brown pieces were snapping like mad. Talk about being peeved!!

[@mikemoss6045]

I don't know why but even as a kid a sticker sheet with lego sets was and still remains the worst.

[@NexeL_NKC]

Man, that Exoforce set!!! The MEMORIES. I have three sets, one owned by my brother. I own the Turbofighter, the thing with the twin boosters on the front and back attached to wings with a gun configuration to hold and fire its missile weapon. I also own the Tank, the big orange boi with the rubber treads and adjustable suspension height with a cannon up top that fired the little yellow and green discs that always got lost. And my brother owned a little battle mech. Those sets really need to make a comeback. They're so cool and the lore was top notch. Another couple series that need to make a return are Power Miners and Mars Mission. I own quite a few Mars Mission sets, specifically the MX-81 Hypersonic Dropship, the Crystal Reaper, the MX-71 Drop Ship, and the rounded Alien Split Fighter, you know, the one that splits open to reveal its weaponry. As for Power Miners, I and my brother own a Granite Grinder each, the Chopper, the Mine Mech, and the Crystal Crusher (the one that has the really long digger arms that slammed down on rock to mine it.) My dream sets were the Thunder Driller and the giant Titanium Command Rig. The Cave Crusher and Crystal Sweeper were also big sets that I wanted. Man I miss those series.

[@k.r.t.f4209]

honestly I never knew I needed this video but I welcome it graciously.

[@EAFFAEEAF]

The customizable ones are cool, and the "every brick needs a different picture on it" ones are understandable... but those Maersk ones are just lazy. They should've printed the logo onto the pieces. They would be making more than enough identical pieces to justify a custom print.

[@sophieferns729]
