The following is a copy of a post to RTL on 7/16/99 and my personal response
to that post.

Okay everyone, sounds like we ALL need to get into gear here. A massive
letter writing and telephone campaign is our only offensive. Here is the
address for the US:
LEGO Systems, Inc.
Consumer Affairs
P.O. Box 1138
Enfield, CT 06083
1-800-422-5346 (9am-9pm Mon-Fri Eastern time, pseudonym "Susan
Williams")
(860) 749-2291
While Europe has traditionally had much better selection of service paks
than the rest of the world, this situation can change, too. I recommend
that everyone in all parts of the world call or write their appropriate Lego
Sales Company and voice their opinion about service paks. Here is the URL
for the RTL FAQ which contains all the address for all the Lego contacts
worldwide:
http://www.multicon.de/fun/legofaq.html
If this is not done, service paks will not proliferate, they will disappear.
Please remember to be rational, reasonable, mature, and brief with your
phone calls and letters. Tell them exactly why YOU want service packs,
what types of pieces you would buy, how many you have bought in the past,
and how important LEGO is to you.
This must be done by everyone. This must be done by mail or by telephone
and, of course, you can contact them more than once.
And don't forget to buy the service packs you have been wanting for a long
time--this may be your final chance and it may be a good clue that people
really do want service packs if suddenly everyone is ordering them.

Further comments:
For those of us that rely on TLG service packs whether it be for Train,
Technic, System, or even Dacta, this is a very important matter. I
personally buy a lot of service packs from S@H (probably 40+ in the last 12
months) and would like to see a couple more train service packs for rolling
stock pieces as much as many other people here. I am planning on banging
out a few letters with the old word processor soon and give them my 2 cents
as well as dialing the phone now and then. I urge everyone else to do the
same.
