It took a little bit longer than we had hoped, but the scans are now available
again. We still need to add the PDF instructions, and the catalogs, but we felt
that releasing what we have already would be better than waiting for everything
to be ready.
Try it out - The Peeron Instruction and Catalog Scans Library (PICSL)[1].
If you have any comments or suggestions, be it new features or ways to make the
user interface better, or bug reports, please let us know!
We would like to thank Kevin for hosting this important resource for all these
years, and The LEGO Group and LEGOFan for allowing us to publish the Library
online
Dan and Jennifer Boger.

That's excellent Dan! You got that up & going ultra quick, thanks!
I do have a query though - I couldn't find set 8040. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a
PDF because it's pretty old, and I had page 13 bookmarked because of the
infamous 5x9 plate :) So I'm just wondering if you definitely have all the
non-PDF scans there?

I knew I forgot to mention something! Some of the older scans were
actually invalid pictures, so they didn't import cleanly. I still need
to go through the ones that were rejected, and import them manually.
I just found 8040, and it was one of those scans... But it's imported
now.
Sorry for the confusion!

Wowsers, that rocks! Thanks!
A suggestion I have is to integrate the scan lib into the search.
If you want to find a particular set now, I think you have to search for the set
inventory, then follow the link to the scan. Although you have pics turned off
by default for the inventory, that extra step does add a few secs (and
presumably some server load?), so can you allow "scans" as a search type and if
selected, skip the set inventory step? I'd default to "scans" while in the PICSL
but not while elsewhere, if that makes sense.
I dunno if scans is the right term but "sets" is already used... perhaps change
that so you have "set inventory" and "set instructions" as choices?

Inventories and Scans together at last. I am really glad to see that you were
able to carry the torch here Dan, thank you very much.
