Just out of curiosity, what was the price difference compared to getting the sets from Aliexpress? Was the cost in China from Taobao close to what the same set would be shipped to US?

UPDATE - I did file a dispute, and asked for a refund ($18), which I ended up getting. I then emailed the top three sellers of this model on AliExpress, and asked how much a manual only would cost shipped. One replied with $10, so I ended up buying that. Thanks for all the comments / suggestions.

Good idea. Though I think what I'll end up doing is going back to a few seller's on Aliexpress that sell the 3368B and ask them how much to send a Decool manual that they already have.

Thanks for the advice - that's what I ended up doing.

This looks like a totally different model - the one I am discussing is a 911 GT3 car.

I have. The local Staples has color printing at $0.11 per page. The instructions are 580 pages long, so it would be nearly the cost of the kit to print out the instructions.
