How to Find Instructions for LEGOs

LEGOs, manufactured by LEGO Group, are plastic interlocking blocks of varying sizes, shapes and colors. They can be assembled and disassembled to build fun, imaginative creations. LEGO Group also provides a wide variety of commercially available themed sets. Each set comes with the required building blocks, as well as step-by-step building instructions to help you construct the set. Building instructions are a necessity, especially for larger, more complex sets. If your building instructions have been misplaced, LEGO Group provides an online database of more than 3,300 building instructions that can be downloaded and printed from your computer.
