I just got the set for Christmas, and there was this leaflet of amendments to
the instructions that amounted to the following:
- At one point when the half completed droid is upside down the instructions
show a rubber band on the bottom of the things where the arms connect, when the
rubber band is actually on the top of those things. The corrected picture does
not show them.
- The rubber bands holding the head up are now the bigger red ones instead of
the small black ones.
- The little assembly of grey bits just behind the head is absent altogether.
I was wondering why they removed it, it didn't look like it did anything, but I
guess now I know.
The amazing part is how many pages they had to redo just to change those two
things in the head area.

I don't see any rubber bands where the arms connect, I didn't even get any red rubber bands in my set, and I can't see the grey bits in the original instructions. My set didn't have any trouble (...)
