LEGO fans breathed a collective sigh of relief this week after the company issued a statement clarifying its intentions regarding paper instructions. The statement came after a survey circulated on the LEGO Insiders Rewards Centre raised concerns about the future of physical instruction manuals in sets.

The survey, which has since been removed, prompted widespread outrage amongst LEGO enthusiasts, who expressed their strong preference for paper instructions. Many cited concerns over the accessibility, longevity, and overall building experience of relying solely on digital instructions.

LEGO swiftly responded to the outcry with a statement assuring fans that they have “no plans to stop using physical building instructions in our products.” The company explained that the survey was conducted to “understand more about our adult fans’ preferences regarding our products and building experience,” and that it regularly conducts similar surveys on various topics.

While LEGO assures fans that paper instructions are here to stay, some remain skeptical, suggesting that this might just be a temporary reprieve. The company has previously made attempts to reduce reliance on paper instructions, often met with resistance from fans.

Regardless, LEGO fans are celebrating the company’s apparent decision to retain physical instruction manuals for now, acknowledging the importance of this integral part of the LEGO building experience.
