    So when I click links to mattels mega set instructions they lead to an error message.

    Mattel no longer supports Mega beyond their preschool themed products, which were moved under their Fisher-Price brand. Mattel Brick Shop is, as far as we know, their rebranded version of the collector focused sets.

    For some sets I have this issue too. Can't remember which ones, I think it was a newer product.

    Yeah it’s Mattel killing Mega hosting slowly (or the original link being dead).

    BlokBlok now supports on-site hosting so hopefully we can build our own database without relying on 3rd parties. I mirrored 1.5k+ PDFs from existing links - some of them bounced but most should be downloaded and available on the website 🫡

    What is the suggested approach? Provide the link or upload a PDF when we have it?

    I'd say upload pdf - I sorted out storage so it shouldn't be an issue, at least not in foreseeable future. Left links just in case 1) our storage malfunctions so links are fallback; 2) someone has a link but for some reason can't get a pdf
