As some of you may know, LEGO has available online instructions from many of
their sets available to download. Many can be directly downloaded
here, but there are also many
that arent indexed in that database. Customer service are happy to provide
links to any instruction available, if you ask them.
Unfortunately for AFOLs though, these sets are stored using the 7 digit LEGO
code, so you cant tell which set a given file is for without downloading and
inspecting it. So as a community service, I have scanned the available sets, and
created a cross-reference database, which you can find
here. It allows you to search by set
number or LEGO code, and provides a link to the lego.com file download, and the
peeron set page (where available). I will be re-scanning and updating the list
every couple of months or so, to keep it as up to date as possible.
Also, I have purposely made it hard to download all the instructions - I dont
want you using my site to download all the instructions available - that would
put an unnecessary load on the lego.com server (there are currently over 8GB of
instructions available).
Anyway, I hope somebody finds this useful.

Ok, I know where to find scans of set instructions and even catalogs. Is there a
place online that has archived scans of past LEGO Magazines? I.e: the Lego Mania
magazines, the Brickmaster magazines, etc?

Hello all,
My copy of the instruction booklet for set #4551 - "Crocodile Engine" contains
five extra pages with full building instructions for one of the alternate models
shown (image top left) on the box backside. I noticed that all instruction scans
for this set that was able to find on internet didn't include these 5 pages.
So, I've scanned and submitted these pages to the Peeron Instruction and Catalog
Scan Library, see them at http://www.peeron.com/scans/4551-1/
For an alternate, I think it's a really nice and rather realistic model.
This case makes me wonder if there have been different versions of the
instruction scans: prehaps one with and one without the alternate model. It
doesn't relate with a possible instuction booklet variation reflecting the part
change from 2924 - "Train Front" to 2924b - "Train Front with 4 x 2 Opening",
because both the instructions that were already present on Peeron and my
uploaded pages still use part 2924 only.
With friendly greetings, Manfred Moolhuysen.

We're happy to announce that PICSL is now accepting user submissions. If
you have instructions scans of sets that are not currently available in
PICSL, or even a better version of scans that are already there, you can
now upload them.
Just go to the set you want to upload instructions for (for instance
http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/8880-1), and click one of the "Submit
instructions" links.
As always, any comments or suggestions would be most welcome!

Is anyone else with a contribution icon experiencing an omission of the Next

There was a problem that affected members who had contributed more than $20
this year so that ads were not displayed in their personal folders. The
number of files/folders displayed per page and the next/previous links were
not being calculated correctly under those conditions.
It has been fixed!

just got back from 10 days vacation (no computer access, no lego) and ive
noticed a change with brickshelf also. typically, if ive missed that much time
looking at recent pages, i just use next page to continue back to some
familiar looking folders. for 10 days i expected to go back a ways, however,
there seems to be a problem when n exceeds 1000. if i type in another value as i
have in the past, instead it brings me back to the most recent page.

Clark,
You are not alone. I noticed this two days ago. All of my folders with over 48
images had (and still have) the same problem. There is no "next" at the bottom
so it looks like the rest of the images are missing. I've emailed Kevin about
this a couple times and he assures me he's working on the problem.

The next links in my brickshelf galleries don't appear to be working:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=19113
That folder has many more images. If you manually put the page count into the
URL, the next page will show:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=19113&n=48
I am a grey brick contributor to Brickshelf. I noticed that the Google ads don't
appear in my galleries (which is a nice perk). I don't know if that effects the
Next link. I couldn't find other contribution icon galleries to check. There is
no obvious link from the front page to a list of contributors, nor could I see a
difference in the recent showcase.
The next link is showing in all non-icon galleries I checked, along with the
Google text adds in the first box.
Most of my galleries exceed the 48 image/page limit. I'd like to know if it is
something specific with my galleries, or a general Brickshelf omission.
Thanks,
Clark

Good question! I sent a catalog scan two months ago and it hasn't appeared at
the catalogs folder.
I'd like to know how old is the first scan that appears at the "What's new in
the Scan Library". It's for sure more than two months old.
Best Regards,
Ildefonso.

Hello,
If anyone is reading this who knows the status of catalog scans
at Brickshelf, please respond. I sent email to the address
posted there ("submit" at that site), asking if anyone wanted a
some catalog scans I just made. I got no response. Do you
know if anyone is administering there or not? If so, is there
another address to which I should send the scans?
Thanks,
/Eric M/
for email replies, remove the upper case letters and digits,

Back in 2001 the LEGO Shop-at-Home catalog showed "instructions" for building a
schoolhouse with bulk packs. I can't find my 2001 catalogs. Can someone who has
one please scan that page for me?

I'm currently looking for instruction scans of two Racers sets which were only
available in Germany (as a Duracell promotion): 4297 (Lightning Streak) and 4298
(Blue Power).
I'm planning to give these sets as Christmas gifts, and I have all the pieces
now (thanks to Peeron.com and BrickLink.com) but I can't seem to locate the
instructions. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! :-)
