Obviously, it's not a deciding factor but it does make a difference. I own the Arocs and having the three pointed star as a printed element makes a big difference in how it looks. It also won't wear as quickly, unlike a few of my sets from the 90s which have had stickers crumble or fall off. Point is that details matter, especially for a set aimed at adults, and having fully printed elements would've been a nice touch. Maybe this is a unique opinion - I love the 911 and have models of various iterations of it dating to when I was 6 years old. Regardless, I'm getting this set and will simply not apply the stickers. They've captured the overall design and characteristics of the car superbly.

I'm a bit confused by this - it's a premium product with a high price....so they've given us a shiny doorstopper of a manual and boxes within boxes; and turned certain key visual elements of the model into stickers? The greatest offense is the lack of a printed badge and that generic steering wheel. Where's the attention to detail there? The GT labelling at the back? A sticker. Labelling of the brake callipers? Stickers. That shouldn't take away from all the other attributes of the model but it's still a bit disappointing given how this is being marketed.

The Arocs has a printed Benz 3 point star logo. For a set of this size, it'd be pretty odd for the Porsche emblem to be a sticker.

Agree about the price - I've been tempted to pick up the new minecraft sets but the price keeps me thinking twice about it. They're $10-$15 over what they should be
