but...what if someone gets these & doesn’t have internet access (the boxes
say the instructions will only be online)? Or will the sets only be an
online Shop@home exclusive?
|
Even if the person who buys them has internet access doesn’t mean you do. It
would be a bit crap if as a kid your online grandma ordered it for you and then
you had no instructions!

Realistically, what kid doesn’t have internet access but his grandma does?
I agree that not having printed instructions in a 2000-piece set is lame, but I
don’t think the concern above is too likely.
Best,

I read it that the 3D instructions would be online. I cant imagine LEGO
releasing a set without instructions (if it needed them) ~J~

There is no instructions included in the 5524-set I just opened. Only a card
that shows how to find the instructions online.

That’s unfortunate. I’m sure the public will let the company know that they
don’t approve. Call it a learning experience.

I read it (when I ordered) that there would not be any instructions included and
that I would have to go online to get them. So, I knew that going in.
I agree with Ondrew though.... Whether the general public picks up on that point
when they order, and whether they like it, or complain and feel like they were
cheated, is an interesting experiment, potentially with larger implications.
If it helps reduce cost I’m for it I guess, I toss 90% of my instructions
anyway. I’d suggest a separate sku for a version WITH instructions, perhaps for
a bit more cost, but we know that LEGO seems to have trouble with a lot of
excess SKUs...
I have my packages now and I’m impressed with the outside appearances,
especially with the builder blurbs, which I thought were well done. I’m bummed
at the lack of the mini roadplates though!

Yeah, I was hoping for microscale road plates too. Guess that’s going to be the
difference between buying a couple of sets ‘cos they are new and actually quite
cool, and a bunch because I would do that to get loads of such new mini road
plates. Oh well.
On the inline only instruction subject, I also realised that was to be the case
although the almost 9Mb download is very tedious if you live out in the sticks
like me with only a 56k modem for company and a rural phone company whose pops
and burps on the phone line causes my PC to drop the connection every 20 - 30
mins.

well speaking of the instructions....
since i am using dialup i figured i would check out the liberty instructions
with the picture version of them. unfortunently there quite hard to follow due
to there small size. now granted i’m using 8x12 resolution but they should still
be understandable. i had to squint to make out some of the parts and placement.
i would have tried the pdf file but i was not in a hurry to wait 10 mins for it
to load.
on a sort of tangant does anyone have inventorys for the 3 sets?

Does anyone know the future status of the mini roadplates? Will they be coming
someday, perhaps in a company designed set? My belief (perhaps mistaken) was
that since they were included with the LDD parts that the real versions were
already being planned for production.
