AFOL

AFOL Lego. Found a really good documentary film about AFOL which stands for Adult Fans Of Lego, which is about adults who are completely fanatic of Lego. The fascination of them is not the new, such as Star Wars sets, but they check the sets out if there is any new bricks pieces that they don´t have, and then collected on them. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on there hobby/work. Something that is very impressive is that they create own sets directly from the head and without Lego instructions. You will meet the founder of BrickCon conference which takes place September 30 to October at Seattle Center. Perhaps it´s time too take a trip to Seattle this year.

I have posting links to the movie AFOL and BrickCon in my link list.


Enjoy !

Better Lego instructions PDF from 2002-

Has written about Lego instructions PDF in a previous post, and mentioned a page called Brickfactory, which has Lego instructions from 1958-2009. A very good site, but the quality of them scanning of the instructions are not that good, and it´s no thrill to print from there either. But now I´ve found that also Lego.com has Lego instructions Pdf which you can download in PDF format and then print it out. They have now 3300 of Lego instructions pdf online that go back to the Lego sets packed 2002nd. You can search either with quick search for 8088 (Star Wars) or keywords such as Arc-170 (Starfighter), or choose Lego brands ex Mindstorms. Then think about choosing the building instruction labeled NA or V39 for printing on US standard size paper. Or the instructions labeled IN or V29 for EU standard A4 paper.

Another very good site I found is Worldbricks.com, they have alot of instructions. And it´s very easy to search what you now are looking for.
