To all the people who are complaining about the lack of bulk purchases,
how many people have put their money where there mouth is?

How many people in the U.S. have purchased a service pack this past year?

I know I have...
so I can complain.

If I can't have bulk purchases...
I wish S@H would at least have the following service packs:
1. car doors in various colors
2. A train accessory kit in several colors:
    train windows w/ glass, train doors, black or grey train base plates.
3. Drop the current window/door service pack and offer
    multiple sets that each contain one window style.  Definitely not in red.
4. An "architectural element" service pack that comes in neutral colors
    and includes arches, columns, etc.
5. How 'bout a bag of lampposts?
6. A set with bricks in tan

If the service pack section of S@H gets lots of business,
then it will expand.
When you call S@H this year for a Holiday order or to get the McD set,
buy a service pack.  If the rumors are right, it may be your last chance.

It sure would be nice if someone from TLG would address this forum
and put the rumors to rest and state their intentions: one way or the other.

(...) I don't see how this is relative to the question asked? The fact that I have not ordered any parts packs proves that TLG does not offer anything that I wish to purchase. It does not determine if I have a right to complain about it or not. If (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
