  Hello!

I noticed that some sets like the Daily Bugle (76178-1) list the Doc Ock figure
with the arms included, but the one from the Monster Truck set (76174-1) didn't.

Could it be at least included as an alternate to the minifigure alone? It makes
more sense to me for the figure to be offered both with and without the mechanical
arms, but the listings including these are inconsistent.

Thanks for the consideration and any feedback about the situation.

What is included depends on how the minifigure is first built in the instructions.

Fascinating. Can you explain this rule a bit further? I reviewed the instructions
for 76105, which includes the arms with the figure, but has the same layout as
the instructions for 76174, with the figure and back piece on the first page,
and arms assembly on subsequent pages. On the Daily Bugle, there are images of
the figure both with and without the arms throughout the instructions, and the
assembly of the figure isn't even listed as a separate step. Just to double
check, I also looked at set 6873, which first showed the figure with the back
piece and no arms, just like both 76105 and 76174, but is listed with the arms
on the figure.

I'm struggling to understand why the arms aren't included with sh687
from 76174.

Thanks for your help!
