The LEGO Service Packs theme refers to supplementary sets that were released primarily from the late 1970s to the late 1990s.

Rather than complete standalone models, Service Packs were intended to enhance or expand upon primary LEGO sets, allowing users to replace missing pieces, add more features to their builds, or customize their creations further.
1985 LEGO Sets
In 1985, LEGO continued to innovate and diversify its offerings, reinforcing its position in the global toy market. A significant milestone this year was the introduction of the LEGO Paradisa theme, which targeted a broader audience, particularly girls, by focusing on more relaxed, vacation-themed sets with pastel colors and new minifigure designs. Paradisa was one of LEGO's early attempts to cater specifically to female audiences before the introduction of themes like Friends decades later. Additionally, the foundational themes like City and Castle continued to expand with new sets.
