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 (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) The selection at the PAB is fairly poor. There are maybe 30-40 different bins and are usually 2x2 bricks and larger, wheels, rubber tires, and windows (windshields). Once in a blue moon, there may be some transparent parts. They do carry some (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) It's a new acronym that's being tossed around to replace 'AFOL'-- ALE = "Adult Lego Enthusiast" (...) I don't think disk space is really the issue so much as bandwidth. IIRC he filled up 2 T1's easily, which ain't cheap. People use BrickShelf (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)
