I'm a big fan of building sets using only box cover pictures. I can
tell you for a fact that even the box-cover photos don't necessarily
reflect exactly what you get inside. For example, I recently bought
Hagrid's Hut, and the cover photo shows some parts of the set built
using black bricks, but the instructions show dark grey instead. That's
a minor example, but imagine the difficulty of keeping the promotional
photos for minor tweaks of the set straight.
