Now imagine the new Millenium Falcon with the old instructions.

This is one of the biggest things I noticed after a 15 year hiatus from Lego. At first I was thinking I was really bad at following instructions as a kid, then I put together my old sets and realized what changed.

And i'm glad for it. The one on the bottom might be a bit too simple for a stage where all the parts are huge and obvious, but I think a whole lot of people would have trouble following the top one especially if they have blurry vision or something.

Hell, I still have trouble on some larger or more intricate sets. It's not easy or fun to play a game of spot the difference with a bunch of similarly coloured details and 1x1 details.
