LEGO Cuusoo - Reissued stickers for Star Wars UCS sets project

Si Lego cuusoo could be used for only one initiative, it would be this: A smart guy named sandro created a project which seems really interesting to me if not realistic, to obtain the re-edition by LEGO of the sheets of stickers from the UCS sets.

Not only do these stickers once applied have an unfortunate tendency to age very badly, but it should also be noted that very often a sticker is applied to two parts at the same time, thus preventing the disassembly of the set without forcing the destruction of said sticker.

You just have to take a look at Bricklink to see that the stickers from the UCS Star Wars sets are selling for a high price, my wallet still remembers:

The sticker sheet (10019stk01) for the 10019 LEGO Star Wars UCS Rebel Blockade Runner set retails between € 79 and € 138 ...
The identification sticker (10179stk01) for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon 10179 set sells for between € 52 and € 93 ...
The sticker sheet (10129stk01) for the 10129 LEGO Star Wars UCS rebel SnowSpeeder set sells for over € 100 ...
The sticker sheet (7191stk01) for the 7191 LEGO Star Wars UCS X-Wing set retails between 175 and 250 € ...

These prices are clearly abusive, and are dissuasive even for the most collectors. hardcore of us. Here and there, a few initiatives aiming to offer high resolution scans of the rarest stickers have emerged. But these projects are often abandoned for lack of goodwill AFOLs ready to devote a few hours to them.

There remains the solution to have the necessary stickers printed via a photo development site or to print the necessary stickers on self-adhesive paper. But then they have to be cut out cleanly, which is not easy on some stickers like the circular ones from set 10019.
So, for my part, I support this project, which obviously has little chance of success. But this will be my way of protesting the Bricklink speculators.
