The fact that the calaogue at www.lego.com no longer lists service packs might
be a clue.
I havent seen a service catalogue in a set for a long time either.
There have been stories before that lego would stop the service packs.
I expect that they have done so in the UK and as a result the discontinued
stock has found its way on to the entertainers shelves as with other old sets.
