Lego instruction scans

Post by Nick »

I have found quite a good website with a large amount of scanned instructions, which can be assorted by different parameters. I thought I'd share it.

I have been there before, and its pretty good, but I liked brickshelf.
Personally I think Lego would make a whopping amount of money if they would put out CD's with their instructions on them. Something like "pirates - the red beard years" and "castle - foresters", "castle - crusaders" etc.

thanks for the link though dude - I forgot to bookmark it last time I was there.

Hi,

This site has been around for years. I've never spread it around because I don't think it follows LEGO's wishes as Brickshelf did. I'm not sure about recently, but they used to have a lot of sets which were out at the same time the instructions were posted. I believe that made it illegal, or at very least went against LEGO's wishes. Brickshelf always seemed to have something to the effect of "We do not have scans more recent than such-and-such year."

It used to be called "Frames Voor LEGO Systems", if I recall it correctly.

I think that is something out of the source code (since I speak Dutch...), it's called The Brickfactory :)

Actually, my bookmark is still titled with that name, and that's what the title of the page used to say, instead of The Brickfactory.

I am talking easily 2-3+ years ago. Not recently. It doesn't really matter to it's functionality what it is called; I was just adding some information. I'm fairly certain it's "Brickfactory" name is a new invention.

i knew it from the lady who sold me her lego castle sets. it contains a lot of frames, so i like it very much over brickshelf.

He, stuifzand, ik wist niet dat hier ook mensen uit Nederland zaten! Ik ben tanotrooper uit België, aangenaam!

I assume by 'frames' you mean assortment parameters. I do agree, the website is very convinient. I prefer it to most other instruction scan sites.
