It's actually printed on the box, now, somewhere on the side. So I guess they don't need the ugly sticker.

Not my boxes. I am holding a new 4239 and there is the "WARNING:" sticker. I think it is required to be on the front of the box so when a parent is looking at it the warning is clearly visible

I really hate that sticker

Yeah, that really stinks. I wish they would at least use a different glue so it would be easier to remove with out damaging the box.

I like collecting sets with box but I seriously have never thought these stickers are such a big deal...

Some careful hari drying will remove the sticker and the glue when its hot , can easly be scrapped off without any real damage to the box  ;)

you have a lot of MISB sets Alex or open the sets but keep the boxes also ???
