| Hello you all,
I'm trying to put together all the LEGO Inside Tour and LEGO Facilities sets
and am, of course, looking for instructions. For some I've found PDF's
online but not all. I really understand that LEGO and participants want to keep
their exclusitivity (is that a word?) and not sharing instructions if of course
a part of that. So I am willing to pay for PDF's for some of them, especially
4000020 Clumsy Hans. That one if really difficult to put together based on the
few pictures and videos available.
Also I wonder why BrickLink doesn't inventory all of the sets, they are inventoried
on Rebrickable and the 2007 and 2008 sets have the same inventories as Market
Street and Town Plan, why not just copy those?
Best regards,
Peter

BrickLink inventories are made by volunteers. So, someone who owns a copy of
the set has to open it and check the contents. Few people own LEGO Inside Tour
sets, and even fewer are willing to open them. I know I would if I owned one.
The reason for this is accuracy. Many people use the BrickLink catalog as a reference.
If BrickLink simply copied inventories from other websites, then the catalog
would be full of errors.

| Thank you, I understand. But errors are usually corrected over time and I assume
the people who've inventoried the sets at Rebrickable are about the same
people (AFOLS with a stronge sense of accuracy) that hang out at BrickLink. And
regarding the two sets from 2007 and 2008 you need not even open the sets since
they are the same (except for a paper around the box with a photo of participants).
