| | | | | (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | | | Hello! (Whoa, first Lugnet post in a very long time.) (...) I don’t own the Millennium Falcon, but I checked the Technic Destroyer Droid that Dave mentioned in the other post. In the instruction booklet the word ”cklick“ is used indeed. I'm pretty (...) (16 years ago, 21-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

| | | | (...) This is actually pretty common. Or, the word "Click" is, anyway. I've seen it used here and there in sets, at least since 2000, maybe longer. A quick glance online (actually, it was in the 2nd set I looked at) revealed a "CLICK" in the 8002 (...) (16 years ago, 20-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)
