Avengers Sets - The Continuity Errors

[Navy Trooper Fenson]

Well, my money is on LEGO being the ones that did the market research.

AFOLs can just get the PQ sets bike and be happy.

But my experience both as having seen kids behave and memories of being a kid. Is that the first thought a kid has when looking at Cap's bike in the set is "OMG a large armored motorcycle so cool". And not "I wonder why Cap is not riding the same motorcycle as in the movie!?"

I even as a kid liked sets more when they were more movie accurate. Remember the old B-Wing from Star Wars? I wondered "Why were there those computers and panels? What is this supposed to be?" because that stuff never appeared anywhere. Or the Clone Turbo Tank that included a white tube turret. I was more like "Why do they have a white tube turret? Is this supposed to be the one the rebels used in Empire? Then, why is it in a ROTS set?".

I wanted to recreate scenes from the movies then and now. The movies have enough stuff in them that is playable. If not there wouldn´t be a desire to have toys from the movie in the first place.

Why are there suddenly so many changes when it comes to movie/tv merchandise? In 1999 with the first SW sets there were no changes made to the film counterparts and I certainly enjoyed the sets then when I was six years old. Well, everything looked more blocky and like something a child put together by itself, but you get the idea. Nowadays they seem to throw lasercanons and figures on models like they are sprinkles on a cupcake. Or they do a little pile of sprinkles and throw then some leftover dough on it and say it´s a cupcake. Just because everyone likes those sprinkledoughies it´s not like we want them that often. When you eat too much of those things you get sick and have to puke. You need some cupcakes, but they are far too few and most of the time really expensive and I think it shouldn´t be that way when you want to be a confectioner.

Isn´t it obvious???
