Hiya

A quick question (sorry, if it's been asked before) : does anyone know if
there are any websites that have scans of Mega Bloks instructions - the
equivalent of Brickshelf?

I quite like some of their military designs (the tanks etc) .. but I always
have difficulty in getting myself to actually buy them :)

  Hop-Frog has made some good points already (and incidentally gave me a
little reminder to keep the clone-page project moving forward!) but here are
a few additional thoughts.
  To my knowledge, Ritvik/MegaBloks has never issued a formal statement
regarding their views on the online posting of instruction scans a la
Brickshelf.  Admittedly, I have never tried to contact them on this matter,
so they might conceivably be very supportive of it.
  Here's a link worth clicking:
http://www.megabloks.com/eng/customerservice/servicecenter.php?dir=customerservice
In essence, you can request replacement parts via the website or by calling
the toll free number 800-465-MEGA.  I've never gone this route, but I
believe that Hop-Frog received a damaged product and was able to order
replacement parts.
  Elsewhere (perhaps in a printed catalog) I have read that customers can
order a copy of the instructions for any set currently available in the
retail market, so if you're looking for MegaBloks instructions, you might
try going to the source.  I don't know how this policy would affect
MegaBloks' tolerance of online postings, but at least it's a source for
current instructions.

Hiya Thanks for the info folks. I will try the Mega Bloks customer service request thing, although I suspect it is a US-only service (although I didn't see it written anywhere). In the meantime, if anyone has a scan of the instructions for the (...) (22 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
