The green bricks as a separate pack are great also, as are the black (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Gary is absolutely right! These would be a great addition to the service line-up. The only thing here that I wouldn't buy in multiple quantities & colors is the windows pack, and that's only because I'm not a town guy. Now, if only S&H Canada (...)

and garage doors. what ever happened to garage doors? Here's an idea. Maybe sell town jr. stuff that can be extended with a second accessory kit. Rearrange 6332 and 6554 so the vehicle bays are wider, sell them at TRU/Walmart sans doors, and then (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I would support a variation on this. Each month, a Form Letter is posted on a website specifying a parts pack. Everyone who supports this would then download it, sign it and send it in. It would be much more organized that way. Maybe the month (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Gary: This letter is well-worded and expresses which parts packs a lot of us would like to see issued by Lego. A few months ago there was a suggestion on rtl that actual letters be sent to Lego by rtl'ers, each expressing specific wants for new (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I am assuming Lego will send a form letter back, but if we keep (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
