Hi there,

I am aware that Lego offer digital instructions for some sets, but they do not
seem to go beyond 25 years. Is there a site where you can order reprints of e.g.
1980s sets? I have found some crude scans online, but want to give my son the
joy of using paper instructions rather than onscreen.

Hi,

You can buy original instructions here.

— Find a set in the catalogue (just type its number in the search box or browse
the catalogue: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=S).
— Then click on the “Instructions” link in the top right (see pic), and you’ll
find the instructions for the set.
— You can then add them to a Wanted List (“Add to My Wanted List” link).
— And then use the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445 )
to find the sellers who have the instructions you want.

Happy buying

If you have a list you could send me I'll look through my stack. I have quite
a few, but haven't been motivated to inventory them and list them yet.
