Yinchuan Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hey, just scored a really nice 6211 star destroyer for a bargain price. The ship was so huge that the then young kid never really played with it or the figures EXCEPT for the escape pod, which was apparently lost outside for awhile and turned a nice shade of yellow. I have seen the cleaning techniques and was eager to give it a shot but then I realized the pod is stickered on the sides. Now I am unsure what my options are. Can it still be restored or should I just leave the pod as-is when I resell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenbart Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Buy the damaged parts from bricklink or wait to see if they turn up in a bulk used lot you my buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Unless you are already planning a Bricklink order I would just leave it as is. Just make sure that you note it in the description when you list it. A good pic of the yellowed pieces would be a good idea as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 When I used to sell on eBay, I always described used items in a slightly worse condition than they actually were so that buyers were pleasantly surprised and unlikely to complain.

Yinchuan Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it is two minor pieces that will be stores in the ship and out of sight anyways. Everything else, including directions, is tip-top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neosphinx Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If the stickers are still in relative flexible condition, you could try to ttake them off, clean the pieces and put them back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinchuan Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Never tried that before. Do I used domecdoet if secondary adhesive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neosphinx Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I usually use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pritt to put them back on and it worked out fine but I'm sure there are alot of people here more qualified to help you with restauration of stickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
