Question about sets instructions

jeremy1973

Curious when you go to download sets instructions there are multiples. what's the difference?

Sometimes there are multiple instruction books per set (one book is the first half of the set, the second is the second half and so on) and sometimes there are slight differences between the European and American instructions. (Not in the model itself, but the last couple of pages, where it shows the Lego club info, I think)

CCC

For printing on A4 and US paper sizes.

thanks, I thought maybe there are mistakes in the instructions.

Like set R2-D2 (10225) there are 3 books. lf you look at the download there 6 books.

Usually the names LEGO give them are subtly different but in the case of R2-D2 they are identical. It would be true to say that those with higher numbers will be revisions of those with lower numbers but the same desciption.

On the free instructions for the build of the original ARC-170 fighter from 2005, page 8, step 14, shows the two pieces for that step as white 1 x 9 Technic beams. My original hard copy instruction booklet, though, (which I foolishly threw away a few years ago) showed those same two pieces as 1 x 10 white bricks with holes, and right now I'm looking at those two bricks on my floor and know they have to go with the ARC because all my other LEGO sets are bagged and catalogued. Which is right: the 1 x 9 beams or the 1 x 10 bricks?
