I have a form letter drafted up. It is still a rough draft. I put it into a
word document so that people could edit it if they want. However, if everyone
wrote their own letter with their own list, you might get some stupid things
thrown in, just like my first version of the list. If we all agree on the
list, or at least can accept it, then Lego will pretty much have to make our
list, as everyone is asking for the EXACT SAME list.

So far, this is 32 pieces. Probably more like a $4.50 kit, as it had a slot
of glass type pieces, which I think are a little harder to make. I suppose I
can get the canopy pieces and hinges elsewhere, so I took them off the list as
well.
I spoke to Consumer Affairs and they said that all the service pack decisions
were made in Denmark. The letters to Enfield will get forwarded to them.
This person may be right, but they weren't sure, so they may not be correct.
Either way, somebody may want to translate the letter and list to Danish and
have other versions available.
Also, the lady I spoke with said that nobody has ever done a letter campaign.
Well, I guess we will have to change that. I am posting my letter to the
following url:

Let me know what you think...
