I am not sure that after reading this you will want to buy those booklets…
Everything LEGO® can be found online via third-party platforms like eBay or Amazon. While you can buy LEGO® instruction booklets, your reason for buying them will determine if it is truly worth it for you.
The LEGO® Website Has All LEGO® Instructions
Simply, Google your set name and number and add “pdf instructions” and it will usually take you right to the page. No need to buy anything, this option is completely free!
If you Want To Buy LEGO® Instructions For An Art Project
I have seen many individuals buy LEGO® instruction booklets to collage them together or use them to make a really neat Etsy project. In this case, eBay is going to be your best option for acquiring new, like-new, or used instruction booklets of all shapes, sizes, and colors, for an affordable price. Then stitch them together for your DIY LEGO® project.
Should You Save Instructions From Your LEGO® Sets?
If your instructions are from 2018 onwards, you should absolutely save them. LEGO® instruction booklets have QR codes inside them that can load a step-by-step guide on the LEGO® builder app. With the new LEGO® Insider’s program, LEGO® booklets are worth 20 points each! This converts to $0.18 per every booklet scanned to VIP/Insider points. It is not a lot but it adds up over time!
