(...) I think in the excitement of discovery you missed out some important information like what set and what page. I'm sure I'm not the only person curious to see this rare occurrence. Tim (16 years ago, 20-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) 10179, the word "Click" in a balloon. Actually my granddaughter found it. I wanted to see if anyone else cared - as it excited me no end. I really thought that words were against Lego policy. It is in English, I wonder if it was in other (...) (16 years ago, 20-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks. It is rather interesting and I'm surprised it was monolingual. Given my understanding that the US and Canada share instructions I thought most North American booklets would include French as well. Perhaps someone with a European 10179 (...) (16 years ago, 20-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) Just the same... we even derived an informatic jargon verb, "cliquer". "Click right mouse button" might be translated as "Cliquez sur le bouton de droite de la souris" ;o) Philo (16 years ago, 23-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

Maybe no one noticed, but in the factory sets when ordering your creation in a box, you can also include some words, but not your own words. (16 years ago, 26-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)
