Do you have a set that you got a few years back that fell apart and you can't find the instructions to put it back together? Maybe you accidentally threw out the instructions with the empty bags. What can you do?

Well thankfully, the internet has a lot of options where you can find instructions online for free. This gives you the opportunity to build those sets and you don't have to go to online stores to buy instructions. So where are they?

The LEGO Company posts some HERE. When I say some, it's only back to 2002. You either need the set number or you can try and search for it by year or theme (like City or Friends). If you have a set from much earlier, you can look here on Peeron. Having the set number is key here, but you can try and search for it as well. If you just can't find the set number, another great resource is Brickset. You can search for sets by what you think the name is or look through the entire theme.

So don't spend money on instructions (unless you really want them). Just go online and build from there.
