Those are the only ones I've seen with my own eyes. The proper term is probably "transfers" and not "stickers." That's the front cover of my uncle's D&D binder, which contains an old photocopy of Moldvay Basic Set, a punched and split copy of Moldvay Expert Set, and a lot of Arms Law / Claw Law tables, all photocopied. I have no idea if he own the originals or not; if so, I never saw them. This is the same uncle I got my Holmes Basic Set from.
The snoopy sticker? I don't know, it's too neat for me. I'm terrible at lining stickers up. I'd guess his daughter, my cousin, did that.
I will post up some of the Arms Law / Claw Law criticals when I get a chance, and compare them to the Rolemaster boxed set.
Wow. I had these but had completely forgotten them until now. I also stuck them on a folder, but it was a paper folder, now long gone. Seeing this image brought back some bizarre almost-memories. You know that feeling when you see an image of a childhood toy that's been out of production since that time? This was about the same time as the rubber D&D bendy toys. I had the carrion crawler, the troll & goblin, the bullywugs, the mercenaries... Seeing these stickers made me think of those early products. I found this:

Yes, TSR did market to kids our age, creating lifelong addicts. Thanks for sharing!
I had some of those toys, as well - most of the characters, the troll king, and the shambling mound.* One of my friends owns the carrion crawler, umber hulk, grell, and hydra. Fun stuff, yeah, and for all that people make fun of D&D word-burning kits, for a lot of us these extras were right in our age group's toys.
Delete* which I don't have, but still technically own - it lives at my player's house.
PS This article has pictures of the stickers in package (in part 2).

I had those stickers/transfers way back when. I think the only one that survives is the dwarf which I put on a character folder. Thanks for posting these!
