I called Lego Germany recently because we wanted some parts for uni (we use
them in the lab... ;) ) and they said that at least in Germany they´ll
soon (early September) have something like shop@home in Germany where you
can order single parts for modest prices. Not the whole product range
though and with a web interface to order. So far you had to pay a premium
on every part if you got special deliveries it seems because of manual
packing, now it seems they´re working on automated packing according to
your order. I don´t know how good that service will be (is it like what
already exists in the US?) but it might be a good replacement for the
service packs.
Though you can still get some in some toystores here so I do plan to stock
up on essentials while they´re still available... ;)
