(...) Just out of curiosity, how much data is that? Could it fit on a single DVD? David "Fuzzy" Gregory (19 years ago, 28-May-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Yeah, I'd be interested in instruction scans on a DVD. I never slogged through Brickshelf to build a DVD, because I didn't want to chew up KL's bandwidth. (...) -- Tom Stangl *(URL) Visual FAQ home *(URL) Visual FAQ Home (19 years ago, 28-May-05, to lugnet.general)

Instructions: 6.5 gigs (all zip files). Some of these files also have box art. Catalogs: 1.25 gigs (all zip files) Most DVDs store 4.7 gigs. A double layer DVD (8+ gigs) would fit this all. "David "Fuzzy" Gregory" <crazylegoman@earthlink.net> wrote (...) (19 years ago, 29-May-05, to lugnet.general)

I started downloading the instructions back in 1999. Whenever something new became available, I would download it. Slow and steady. Easy like Sunday mornin'. I doubt this bothered Kevin :) Along the way, I would replace brickshelf scans with better (...) (19 years ago, 29-May-05, to lugnet.general)

Ok, Lego does its own job of hosting instructions at: (URL) TLG was funding BrickShelf, I can see why they would drop this duplicate expense. My questions are: What instructions on BrickShelf are not duplicates of the TLG ones? Is TLG committed to (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Heh. I actually bought my kids about 50 pounds of legos off eBay. This was to let them have building blocks that were not Daddy's toys, er, Star Wars "Models". But we didn't have many instructions books. My son and I figured out which sets (...) (19 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)
