Why are the new LEGO instruction manuals soooooooooo boring! Especially Star
Wars. I remember when they were awesome and had the box art on the front, now
they look like and Amazon listing with a colorless white background. : (

Its about saving money and saving the planet.
The new manuals need less ink which reduces the printing costs and also helps
save the planet (since printing ink often involves fossil fuels as inputs)

Gotta omit the book numbers to save the planet. Maybe knowing what book to use
at a glance is too easy.

This set can be built in any order, you don’t have to follow bag numbers strictly.
