Everything [LEGO® can be found online via third-party platforms like eBay or Amazon](/okf/pages/where-to-buy-cheap-lego.md). 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](/okf/posts/lego-faqs-how-to/diy-simple-easy-fast-christmas-decoration-lego.md).



## 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](/okf/posts/lego-news/when-is-next-double-vip-points-day-2023.md). **It is not a lot but it adds up over time!
