perhaps if i had paid for this box of stickers, i would feel the same way as the other reviewers, but when i opened this box on Christmas morning i was really excited. some of the stickers are totally lame, but many of them are cute and will make you smile. none are particularly thought provoking and i think that some of them *are* dumb, but most from my box will find a place somewhere flat in Tulsa, and my favorites will definitely be visible in my room.

i think the box should contain more stickers, though. the book is cool, but i would've preferred twice the stickers and half the book.

I am a fan of modern illustration, and I was hoping to see great things in these stickers designs. They are 98% lifeless. Uninspired (and uninspiring) artwork is seen in sticker after sticker, and page after page of the book. If I had a nice sticker, I might save it without ever affixing it to anything. If I had a so-so sticker, I might think of sticking it on something in the world. I can't even bring myself to give most of these stickers to the little girl sticker fiend down the block. The plastic box is the best piece in this grouping, and it's not worth the price.

This collection is a gift for any hipster sticker collector who appreciates hard to find retro design mixed with modern street icons with an urban Japanese influence. For me its worth the 63 stickers, the book and a cool DVD short. Plus the packaging is a definite keeper. If you consider yourself "mainstream" this is probably not your stilo.

Don't get swindled by the packaging. The graphical quality of the contents are suspect as a fair amount of the illustrations I can only describe as grade school crayon scribbles. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but not enough to warrant purchase.
