I am sadly dissapointed with JS as well, not necessarily due to
juniorization (which seems to be the active trend over the last couple of
years). My nephew received one for a Christmas present. I thought he would
do alright with it since it was geared toward his age group. The parts and
assembly went well, he didn't have a problem with that. He had to enlist my
help because he couldn't figure out the instructions. They didn't follow
LEGO's usual format and were VERY unclear. We would have had about the same
success rate by using the picture on the front of the box. My suggestion is
to fire whoever came up with that format and re-hire your previous technical
illustrators.
