Ok, so I’m rather new to this whole AFOL thing, and have spent the last couple months rebuilding the sets from when I was kid. Thanks to instructions being published on the internet, I have also been purchasing individual pieces off bricklink to build the sets that I never got as a kid, without having to pay exorbitant prices for buying them new today (it helps that the used pieces match my 10-15 year old collection). However, while the great majority of pieces are available, few if any stickers can be found. I am pretty much only interested in 9v trains at this point, specifically the <-> symbol, but probably some others as well. Is there a third party that makes these stickers, or has the ability to do so up request, or is this a copyright infringement? I suppose I am looking for something similar to brickarms (I think). Any ideas?

As a second question, I’ve noticed Lego periodically “purges” its old inventory from its website in the form of rather large price reductions when they decide to drop a line of products. Any ideas when this might be happening to RC trains, specifically the station and cargo train? I would think within the next several months to make room for the new line, and I am sure some others are waiting in anticipation as well.

Sorry if this is breaking any netiquette rules mods, I tried to find answers in the FAQs but got nothing

Thanks

Eric

Oleth makes plenty of stickers, or rather, reproduces the logos for use as stickers - you'll have to print them out manually, or get someone to do it for you.

As for the trains, well, all I know is that an electrical system switch is announced for next year, along with a new AFOL-focused train set. The new trains might be launched in summer, so TLC may buffer up themselves and their customers (stores, shops etc.) for christmas sales, so in the case of a purge, it might happen around the same timespot as the new system is released. The station is relatively new, though, and might live through on to the new trains, and as such might not be purged.

Hi Joker and welcome to Eurobricks!

Have you everv tried Brickshelf's search function with "stickers"? There are plenty folders that have stickers in it, so it may take a while to find the right ones.

Brickfactory also hosts sticker-pics. *Click here*

As for the new trains: We know few of what is coming, but in my opinion it seems probable that the "old" RC-trains will face a sold out (sooner or later).

Trains ON!
