Instructions...hmm... One nice thing about instructions is that I can sit down and midlessly snap bricks together and have a model form. This is very relaxing; although I do have to remind myself to build slowly. Another nice thing about (...) (26 years ago, 23-May-99, to lugnet.general)

Here's a loaded question... I see a lot of posts asking for instructions or pictures of how to build a <insert item here>. Not just ideas, but actual step-by-step instructions. Is it just me, or does this seem like a contradiction of the idea behind (...) (26 years ago, 23-May-99, to lugnet.general)

I think LEGO is for everyone. Engineers, artists and those who just enjoy building following instructions. I enjoy building in either mode. The object is to "play well". Bob Fay rfay@we.mediaone.net The Shop (URL) Wilson <70641.507@compuserve.com> (...) (26 years ago, 23-May-99, to lugnet.general)

I agree with Kevin and Silas. Back in the 60's (when I was a child), I remember getting the Junior Constructor set #717, for Christmas. The only instructions were on the inside of the box top. It was a 500 piece set, and there were only 3 pictures (...) (26 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.general)
