What is Rebrickable?
Rebrickable is a third party LEGO instructions site where enthusiasts can buy, sell, and download free building instructions. The models on the store are created by independent AFOLs who share their MOCs with fellow LEGO lovers. These creations have to first be approved by other designers active on the platform, ensuring higher quality builds. The platform can also be used as a parts inventory tool, a guide as to how to reuse your existing parts to make other sets, see what parts you are missing, build alternate models, and upgrade existing sets.

Can you make money from Rebrickable?
Yes! There are two options for putting your instructions on Rebrickable: one, you can let people download your instructions for free, or two, you can make it a “premium” model and charge money to download. The standards for premium instructions are higher, so you must have a more complex build with more pieces than free instructions.
Why buy custom LEGO instructions
Why buy custom LEGO instructions when you could just go to the store and buy a LEGO set with pieces included? There are a variety of reasons to: firstly, it allows you to use your existing parts collection. Why go out and spend more money on parts you don’t need when you could pay way less for instructions only and use your existing parts. Secondly, custom LEGO builds can be bigger, more complex, and use more advanced techniques than official LEGO sets. Thirdly, it supports fellow your AFOLs and takes your brick hobby to the next level by allowing others to share their amazing ideas and creations.Â
