About LEGO Service Packs Technic

Technic service packs were the parts packs of the Technic line from 1978 to 1999, sold for builders who wanted more of a part than their sets held or who were making models of their own. They follow the growth of Technic itself.
1978 LEGO Sets
1978 was transformative: the modern minifigure arrived with articulated limbs and standardized proportions, becoming the heart of LEGO play. Three pillars launched in force—Town, Space, and Castle—bringing buses and services to city streets, astronauts and bases to the cosmos, and knights and keeps to medieval scenes.
