Unfortunately is not that simple, as Milan is no more supplying service
packs. They had a good customer service until a couple of years ago, but
it's been closed :-(
They've been providing some kind of service for a while, allowing us to
order parts to them and they redirecting the order to London, but now even
that is gone :-(((
We are desperately waiting for the Lego Direct service covering Italy too.

However, if you're not looking for supplementary packs but just for
replacement of broken parts, it could be worth a try.

Ciao
Mario
