  On top of the resources that you listed, I have found these two sites to be incredibly useful:
  
  1. [peeron.com](http://peeron.com) - Large set database and instruction scan library
  2. [bricklink.com](http://bricklink.com) - Lego marketplace selling millions of used and new parts and sets. This is also a nice reference for information and inventories related to old sets.
  
  It's not a site, but if you don't mind books, I would recommend [The Cult of Lego](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1593273916) by John Baichtal.
  
  You also might be interested in finding a LUG (Lego users group) near you. Here's a [map](http://www.lugnet.com/map/).
