I've used a dab from a glue stick before. It keeps it on there but doesn't leave a huge glue mark on the inside (if that sort of thing is important to you). I display in the box, so personally I like to make sure the stickers are all secure and that there aren't obvious glue marks.

How do you take off the stickers from the other boxes. I tried taking off a Barnes and noble exclusive and it was not coming off at all.

Heat them up with a blow dryer for a few seconds and use something sharp like a razor blade and they come right off.

You need an adhesive that dries clear and to plastic. Lowes sells LePage adhesive that should work..

Egads, don't use glue!!! It's too globby. Use spray adhesive! I'm an architect and I've been using it for decades to adhere paper to presentation boards. Spray the back of the sticker and let it tack up (dry), then place it and smooth it out with your fingers. It will look like new. PS- if any of you collect trading cards like the old Odd Rods stickers, if they come off their backing spray adhesive is perfect for rejoining them. You can get spray adhesive at Walmart.

Yes it will work! The problem with small things is if you place it on an old piece of newspaper or something the force of the aerosol will blow it across the room. The way I get around that is to hold it down with a toothpick and give it a quick blast of the adhesive.

If a Pop is supposed to have a sticker, I always make sure the sticker is stuck on tight before I buy.

I find washable gluestick works for me, adhesive spray would be the proper way to do it though.
