Earlier this week LEGO asked select Insiders members to complete a survey regarding building instructions, today LEGO issue an official statement!
A recent survey from LEGO has sparked a debate amongst fans regarding physical and digital building instructions. It has since been removed, but hinted towards the LEGO Group replacing paper manuals with digital ones.
As many of us know, digital instructions are already available to download for pretty much all LEGO sets. Finding, downloading and opening these files is still a slow process and not as easy or user-friendly as opening the provided physical booklet. In short the LEGO Group have no current plans to phase out the beloved paper building instructions.
LEGO has provided an official statement, which you can read in full below.
“We would like to reassure fans that we have no plans to stop using physical building instructions in our products.
We conducted this survey to understand more about our adult fans’ preferences regarding our products and building experience, something we do regularly across a range of topics.
We would like to thank our LEGO® Insiders members who took the time to respond to the survey – your feedback is important to us and helps us make our LEGO experiences even better.”
