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 versions when
they became available (ie the Brickfactory and lego.com) and supplement the
instructions with box art and sticker scans. I'm not happy with some of the
scans and will eventually get around to replacing these from my own
instructions, maybe when my kids are grown and I have more free time :)
I also have a some Megabloks instructions, (330 megs, mostly pdf files) from
the megabloks website.
One of the best ways to learn how to biuld is to study the masters. Short of
sitting down with a masterbuilder, poring over instructions are the next
best thing (especially TECHNIC instructions).

| 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)
