Are you guys nuts? They are NOT making a ton of money off this. And even if they were, who cares? They're providing a very valuable service to collectors of G1 Transformers toys. Do you guys have any idea what goes into making these sticker sheets or the molds that cut the stickers? I can't believe how rude some of you are being about this.

If you are lucky enough to actually have the sticker sheets for these characters, $10 is a great price for taking 5 minutes to scan and email something.
Don't forget, also, that ReproLabels also provides the factory-applied stickers that weren't on the sticker sheets, and these they create manually by painstakingly reproducing the originals.
Anyone who is griping about "only" getting $10 for a scan, or thinks they can do these themselves, well have at it. I'd like to see you approach the quality that ReproLabels provides.

monstergrotusque wrote:Agreed that it is not the easiest solution to the problem but it's certainly not rocket surgery either.
Removing a sticker from a figure is possible and could be a viable solution if these sets don't show up.
JackStraw wrote:Also, I for one have a very very hard time putting reprolabels created off of a scan on a vintage G1 figure that I paid a lot of money for. It's like putting new after market parts on a vintage car. It can be neat, but it's no longer so much vintage. Even if they looked exactly the same, it's still not right...and they don't look exactly the same.

In fact, they are easy as pie. I will pass on to you what I learned from Heroic_Decepticon. All you need is Zippo lighter fluid... yes.. you read that right.. Zippo lighter fluid.

I've done this a few times already and works like magic. If you want to be extra careful, remove with an old G1 tech spec decolder. It is super thin, and will slide under the sticker without damaging it. (my tip )
