If you aren't likely to ever need to remove them, superglue them on (with a glue that won't melt the plastic). It might sound extreme, but it works, and if done neatly, no one would ever know... especially the buyer if you ever sell, who will pay extra to have all stickers still attached.

Have you done this before? It sounds easy but no one wants to stuff up stickers on a $150 purchase. Which glue does not melt stickers and is easy to work with? Is there a trick to doing it neatly? Have any glues discoloured the stickers over the years?Originally Posted by griffin

GS Hypo. Dries clear, no discolouration, handy needle tip applicator. Good stuff.
It won't affect plastic but it WILL affect paint.

I use one of those needle-point modelling glue bottles, and since it's modelling glue, I haven't had any problems with it melting plastic.
I don't use it that often though, just for damaged stickers, difficult stickers (Kabaya kits), or old ones that are starting to come off.

So presumably, you use this stuff under the stickers. Just some of the old g1&2 stuff I've had/have. The stickers have turned to rot, even after not being played with or anything. So something like this might be quite helpful them. Any idea if any of the metroplex's being done, will have no sticker sheets?

I'm terrible with stickers, so I'm none too pleased about Metroplex's vast number of stickers.
The best tip I've ever received was to use tweezers. You get SUCH better results, it's a heck of a difference.

Makes it so much easier! I also use a cotton bud sometimes if i'm going around corners or in nooks to make sure they're applied properly
