What other building tips or instructions would you like to have on

Add the following

Instructions for all Lego Sets

When you are finished go to the
Tell a Friend
link and send e-mail to a friend suggesting that they go this site.

If everyone does this, maybe Lego will start carrying the instructions for
Lego sets.

While I applaud your sentiment I suspect that I'd rather the instructions
stay on BrickShelf(tm) and that Lego(r) fund the bandwidth expense of making
them available.

If they were on the TLC site, there would be issues with quality. Many
instructions on the BrickShelf site are rather poor quality. I delight in
having those because the alternative is to have NONE... I suspect TLC would
not post poor quality images. That's worse.

Also while I am just speculating, I suspect it would cost TLC a lot more to
actually host all the instructions and add new ones to their webservers due
to their presumably somewhat (much?) more laborious development and release
process.

No, the better suggestion is to encourage TLC to cover bandwidth costs for
BrickShelf. IMHO.
