This may be relevant. I have a Fire Brigade with the faulty instructions (some numbers missing) so I asked Lego to send me out replacement instruction books last month. This morning I received book 2, but no book 1, so I gave them a call. The lady on the phone initially said they were out of stock and would be back in stock on the 11th March, so she would ship them to me as soon as they came back instock. After hanging up, she called back a minute later and said that when she was reviewing my order, she'd realised the Fire Brigade had been discontinued so there would be no more instruction booklets made, and I would have to do without. She is emailing me the instructions as that is all she can offer me.
