Blank torsos and blank shields...........drool..............
That would be cool but if there are any stickers currently out that I'd use it would have to be the CC stickers.

Of course giving stickers to them is much more easier then priniting since this way they can use the same standard brick. I hate the idea of stickers, and it even worse when it on more then on one brick
As for the shields, if it's going to be like this I glad that I have at least one of each printed. If I'll have to glue stickers on them, I'd probably make ones of my own (or use Anthony, LF ones instead) since those drawings are ridiculous anyway.
I doubt that stickers would be cheaper than prints. And I KNOW that putting a sticker set in only a tiny amount of sets and having the rest be print isnt cheaper.
I think this is extremely cool, sound like you got lucky.... it would be great to get Lego blank shields, because it, i dunno, it would just seem that if tlc is getting cheap, then they might just rely on us more, which would obviously be to our advantage.

Are you implying you have megabloks? BURN!!!
On topic, I don't see why everyone think that this one-in-perhaps-a-hundred event is 'cheapening' LEGO. This is just a tiny blunder, and TLC fixed it, buy supplying stickers. Why complain?
I have this set. All four shields in the castle wall box came blank with 2 copies of the sticker sheet, but the shield in the battering ram box came printed (Scorpion faction). I put the stickers on to make one of each shield, but I'll probably take them off later to experiment with the parts in a non-shield context.
I bought the attack pack and the city wall set came with blank shields and stickers... is that not common?
At first I was a little put off, but then I realized the potential...
I was hoping this blank shields thing was a common occurance, although the castle came with pre-printed shields...
hmmm
