If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Somebody obviously has far too much time on their hands as they were able to create this massive collection of complete instructions for every Lego set ever made. I might have to dig my crate of Legos out of my closet now.

Paul Lammertsma said on 12/29/06 @ 09:21 AM: Oh, I agree, Aaron! All the stupid curvy pieces and countless strange-looking things they've added. I swear that half of them could be created using existing blocks, but the fun is all out of it anyway. You used to be able to mix and match different sets, but now there are so many custom pieces that all hope is lost.
I don't like the style they've been focusing on, either. The old fashioned city cars and buildings was nice, and Technics was especially cool.
I should dig my crates of Lego out of the storage room, too. :)
You rock! I just found the instructions to the first Lego set I ever got for Christmas. Turns out it was 1973. I still have the Legos too, never threw any of them away.
Looks like I'm going to get back all my missing instruction sets!
