That's cool. Kind of annoying they're gearing it towards children but oh well.
If they get instructions for their Star Wars sets then I'll definitely buy some.
Edit: Oh. One of the first instructions is to get a sighted person to help. That's reasonable given it's about sorting the pieces by colour but still demoralising.

Hopefully they'll add instructions for more complex sets as time goes on.
I spent last weekend tediously building their Apollo 11 lunar lander kit with the help of a lighted magnifier. Audio instructions would have been nice to have.

I want that set really bad, but the lack of directions has stopped me from buying it. I definitely couldn't get someone to read me the entire instruction booklet but I could probably get someone to sort the pieces by color for me.
Hey, Lego, make more instructions. I want to give you my money.

Well I mean that is their primary intended audience.

Well, if you are completely blind and building it for yourself, you might as well not care about the colors anyway

There's a blind guy who makes kit instructions that we can actually use ourselves. I'll see if I can find him again. He does this way better and it's really dumb that Lego can't bother to take the advice of someone who did their job better.
