      @@Qone78 Hi, I asked this question to Ben and here was his reply...
      Hi, we make sure we remove a majority of the stickiness off before we stick them on the box and they are high quality stickers as well so as long as they are removed carefully they won't damage the boxes. Particularly on the vintage sets we put a protective cling film wrap just in case and especially because the vintage sets use a thinner cardboard. Glad you enjoyed the store video.

    All the nasty ass stickers all over the boxes that’s ugly and thoughtless really for a Lego seller 🤦‍♂️ . I hope they are not paper .
    Edit: now the brown boxes 📦 for the Lego missing its box is a nice idea but I’d make the boxes yellow 😉 with the ships logo on it in red .

      @@MixABrix soz I was just moaning some shops don’t care Game drives me mad and Cex 😝. It yeh some of the sets I’d buy tbh and a nice shop . If that shop was mine I’d sleep in the corner Lego robberies gone through the roof . If never leave or it would all go in a vault at night ie a good strong room with a good door.
      EBay full of stolen lego atm you can always tell a stolen set
