Need some help from you experts.. I was at a local store and bought some figures (doesn't matter what kind) but they have stickers on the boxes.. I wanted to sell these MOC figures on EBAY or elsewhere.. Is there an easy way to take off the store stickers?? Or should I return and get my money back?? Please advise..
Thanks, Dxtra

Indeed there is. Its a substance called "Goo-Gone." Its in a clear bottle, and appears yellowish. You can probably get it at a hardware store(Ace, Lowes, Home Depot even, or a local small shop). Apply a little to a paper towel(preferably a soft one), cover the sticker with it thoroughly, let sit for a while, and watch it peel off. You may need a few applications to remove tough stickers, but it has yet to fail me on anything I've used it on.

Goo Gone is awesome, I must say. Just make sure you don't use too much, especially on the cardboard, or it may stain the cardboard.

I have used WD-40 to remove stickers because i didnt have any goo gone. But that was on my tin FMA box, but most my figures come off the interent w/ no tags.

Yeah, Goo Gone works wonders, just don't use too much. It usually works just as well if you take a lot of time and peel it off REALLY slowly.

As intellectually- disabled as it may sound, lighter fluid works great. They even tell you on the bottle itself to use it for removing sticker resdiue. They barely mention on the bottle to actually use it to refill a lighter though......

Considering Goo Gone reeks like lighter fluid, I'd bet there isn't much of a difference if any.
