BIONICLE Building Instructions

[Aanchir]

Hi, everyone. I have a project that I'd like any classic BIONICLE fans and collectors to possibly see about helping with. I'm a big user of LEGO.com's Customer Service site for building instructions, but as we all probably know it's not by any means a complete resource. However, something I discovered recently is that there are a lot more building instructions available on this site than it's letting on. For example, using the seven-digit number 4255648, I discovered the special instruction sheet for attaching the bonus Mask of Shadows in set 10202 Ultimate Dume.

What I'd like help with is finding as many of these building instructions as possible-- for now, specifically BIONICLE ones. When I've found all I can, I plan on providing the links to Brickset. The Brickset database already includes links to all the instructions listed on the building instructions portal at LEGO.com, but it lacks these "hidden" instructions.

Here is the (small) list of sets that the building instructions portal doesn't list complete instructions for:

1388 Huki

1389 Onepu

1390 Maku

1391 Jala

1392 Kongu

1393 Matoro

8537 Nui-Rama (Book 1)

10202 Ultimate Dume

Now what I need is for anyone who has any of these sets to find the print-copy instructions and provide the seven-digit number that should (hopefully) be printed somewhere on them. I hope it's not too big a favor to ask. I happen to own all of these sets, but the instruction booklets are all missing currently and probably in awful condition, so I'm hoping someone better-organized than me could provide me this information.

Also, if you know any other sets that are missing their online instructions, feel free to share! For instance, I don't think the set 10201 Takutanuva has any building instructions separate from Makuta's and Takanuva's, but I could be wrong.

Don't forget about Botar or Kardas. Maybe if you cut their instructiones. They are in the original sets liks Brutaka or Vezon.

Well, what I'm after are actual scans of instruction booklets that are not on LEGO.com's building instructions portal. The Kardas instructions are already available, and since Botar's building instructions are just a part of Axonn and Brutaka's building instructions they're not going to be found separately.

Pretty sure that has what youre looking for

Except the MC-toran...but do you really need instructions for them?

I don't need the instructions specifically for building the sets, but I'd just like to see if there are copies of them on LEGO.com.

Kongu's is 4159807, though since it didn't seem to work, I didn't bother searching for the other Mctoran's. If you can get it to work though, lemme know and I can probably dig up the others.

UD's only instructions consist of the single page on attaching the MoS-- which you already have. Everything else is contained in the booklets for Nidhiki, Krekka, and Nivawk.

Yeah, I just had UD listed because I was copying and pasting the list from an Excel spreadsheet that I made before verifying that his instruction sheet was available.

Anyway, it's a real shame that Kongu's doesn't work. The first instruction booklet which I discovered to be available despite being missing from the portal were the LEGO Master Builder Academy Kit 1 instructions, and after finding Ultimate Dume's single instruction sheet I guess I got a bit too hopeful. I think this instructions database was only started in 2002 if not later, and so it's no surprise that it's incomplete when it comes to 2001 sets, but at the same time it would have been nice to have readily-available backup copies of those particular sets' instructions, especially since my hard-copy instruction booklets from 2001-2003 are in various stages of disrepair.
