i've recently acquired a batch of reprolabels & have been applying them onto my seekers (takara + KOs), a KO ultra magnus, & a justitoys (original version) grimlock, & i have to say, they really do snazz them up quite a bit. but i'm torn on whether or not to apply them to a few chase WSTs. i have a skywarp i snookered off ebay for $25 (definitely takara), & there's no way i would risk devaluing him with an errant sticker, but i was wondering if anyone had thoughts about bluestreak or an official takara ultra magnus? how about jazz or soundwave? or a takara toy-colors optimus prime+trailer? (i also have a battle stand upgrade for that trailer from heerotoysmaker, & have been torn on whether to install it or not) i don't think they're chases, per se, but they do seem to be a little less common... thoughts?

I've never been a fan of stickers, dating back to G1, so for me it would be an unequivocal "no". But I imagine for many people the argument would be similar to the one about removing rarer toys from their packages: if it enhances your ability to enjoy these collectibles, go for it. But if you think there's a strong chance you'll resell them down the road or if applying the labels will wreck your nerves, then I'd pass.

For Reprolabels, I think it's really no big deal. They're honestly very easy to remove if you want. But for the Battle Stand, I would strongly recommend no. The authentic trailer is too valuable to risk damaging. Find a cheap KO trailer to install it in instead.
