>>11518859they tried this for a hot minute with the first round of Nintendo Mario sets
it was a disaster, they quickly started including Instructions again.
I don't know how long it lasted because after the first one, I didn't buy another Mario set for years. Until I bought one of the tiny random boxes on clearance and discovered... hey! it's an instruction book again!
no way am I looking at my tiny tiny phone screen to build a Lego set.
