Yeah. There's always one extra, so by only having the printed ones, they dont have to produce another extra. And it's not like you're gonna see that it ahs the print when you're done. It is fully covered up

After rebuilding LEGO from the 80s and 90s, I noticed how the new set instructions are insanely easy and long with sometimes 2 or so brics to set. While in the 80s you got 10 or so bricks and had to have an engineerkng degree or be Sherlock to fit them, failing and only realising it a few steps later. But it was such a gratifying process and it didnt take 100 to 500 pages to do.

[@matzebob]

In that case you should be delighted by the trench run set instructions, barely any markings and often 5-10 pieces per step. Really enjoyed that one

The Typewriter is that way because you don’t put it all together right away but you need it to be built already when you get to different set. It will make sense if you ever build it, which I recommend, great build.

[@mycazglinski2302]

@@Drion086 it doesn't have ink or anything, but the keys can be pressed and they trigger movement on a few gears that slides the cylinder.

[@Wendy_O.]

I had such a good time building that, but for me the real fun started when most of the inner mechanism was done and I could figure out how everything moved together to make the thing work. It was great because of how clever it was, and the fact I did everything correctly (and I did make a few errors along the way, which I had to fix). 😆 And to anyone who ever used a manual typewriter, buy this and build it; you'll be glad you did.

[@davidvandersterre]

If I'm not mistaken it is actually that way to increase sturdyness once the mechanism is complete. If it is the wrong way around the chance to accidentally jump over a 'symbol' and and activate the mechanism twice or more with a single key press is significantly higher. It's because one side of the "gear" (or shredder or whatever you may call it) has a more smoothly rounded side, while the other side ensures that the mechanism gets stuck enough. It's not that hard people: they chose that single element because of its shape, it can "catch" other elements.

[@ZeroIsMany]

The pile is also a nice and easy to understand visual cue to set them aside for later.

[@marioelenes5808]

Regarding the typewriter: I suppose the reason they ask you to bunch them up is to clarify you don't have to actually lay them out properly. Once you start building the mechanism, you're gonna have to drop those pieces one by one into axles. If they had shown them laying in order, I would assume a good percentage of people would painstakingly do so thinking they're gonna be joined like that or whatever. Plus, they're quite unstable on their own. And as for the clickbaity thumbnail, that spinny boi is the most essential part of the mechanism. It's what allows the whole thing to work as a typewriter. And it's very, very easy to put it in the wrong way without noticing, which would break the functionality.

[@davidvandersterre]

Luckily someone who actually understands logic and why Lego would emphasize on a very important part of the mechanism. For people who still don't understand: Every time you press one of the keys on the typewriter an entire part of the typewriter (visually, and actually also very realistically) jumps back a little bit, so it can move over one piece. If you place on the element wrongly the chance that you jump over more than a single key is very high, because of the smooth side, while the other side kind of has a 'tooth' to catch the big part again. If you still don't understand I recommend you go and watch someone building the Lego typewriter. I think it is not a 0 IQ step, I think it is one of the most clever building step put in a Lego set.

[@2Dtube1]

I get the piling one, it's so the instructions are more specific on "group these parts together so you don't get them mixed up". Lots of more "lego" styled way of instructions could be argued here, but I think piling them up gives a better idea with 3 dimensional shapes than having them all lined up with one angle of the piece (or variants of neatly placed pieces). Having them all in one angle might not be the easiest to discern for everyone and I think this improves accessibility for more people who might have trouble with spotting the difference.

[@alexemr7]

You are the closest person to say something near this day XD

[@Corvus__]

Maybe the steps where you remove parts are included because some of the parts attached in prior steps were just there for temporary structural support and/or to make building it easier?

[@the_great_magicman1877]

in a few builds ive done, they use spare parts to make sure steering axels are aligned, which you then remove for the astetic part of the build later on, its just a quick and easy time save on top of making assembly fool proof

[@florm9944]

About the Typewriter instructions, those pieces are meant to be the bits that hold the keys out so you can press them, and they are put in a pile to show that they aren't needed for a while after building them because you then have to stack them on top of each other when putting in the keys.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

Clever that they show them heaped chaotically, so you don’t go arranging them carefully thinking that’s part of the build

I got the LEGO UCS millennia falcon. There are multiple times where you need to build massive structures twice and sometimes you need to build 2 parts for one of the 2 structures meaning you need to build 2 for one so you really need to make 4. You also need to make 6 landing gear at the same time. The set is great but is is annoying to build huge things multiple times at the same time.

I was thinking that it might be useful later, but the later manual covered it up with several 1x2 brackets, which made the hard work of making this small 2x3 brick useless

[@Kazmahu]

I have a hunch what happened with that first one. When the kit was being build/playtested, they swapped something out, changed the order of pieces going down, or merged a couple of steps into one action. But that happen right as the set was about to go to production (and goodness knows anything licensed can be on a pretty inflexible deadline) so with half an hour before the manual went to print the only thing to do without breaking the layout and page order was to turn the step into a no-op and just leave the templates in.
