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!
