I am not sure how I got into this thread, but I was a little miffed that I
have 1) repeatedly voiced my desire for garage door parts (the only parts
that I have ever asked for), so hearing that others are able to obtain them
is rather heartbreaking to me and 2) I ordered some and had them sent to
Germany and I am quite certain that I will not receive them, which is the
basis for my "miffing attitude". (I have yet to get an email stating the
status of my order that was placed one week ago). IMHO the garage doors set
is THE BEST part set that Lego has ever made.

Lego has their reason for what they do and they are of little or no concern
of mine. I just hope that they find making the garage door parts set a
viable business decision
