I have not been able to access it since ~1:00pm EST today (that is when I first
tried). It is making my job harder because I have to go directly to LEGO.com
and download instruction manuals to verify all sorts of things.

I just had a thought...Could it be a host problem because of the war in Ukraine?

Brickset's WHOIS entry gives no indication that its servers are located in
Russia or Ukraine. It seems to be a garden-variety outage. Brickset's Twitter
says they are aware of the issue and working to fix it.

Thanks for the info. I'm kind of surprised that no one here posted about
this before now...anyway I hope it turns out well for them.

For those who have been here since Dan......been there, done that.
