Comment on Lego building instructions through time

Comments

I just built one of those plant sets. I'm use to that modern instructions just place 1 or two bricks per step. But these plant sets took the cake. You had to build identical submodules. From the picture at the box you could see that it's essentially 8 times the same submodule. But the way the manual presented it was, that you build one submodule 2 times, fit it to the base, then build it 2 times again (same illustration!) and put them on the other side of the base. Then you start building the top and build the same submodule 2 times again, fit it to the top and then 2 times again and fit it to the other side of the top.
