I'm sure this has been discussed at length before (I've read some of the
posts and not found a conclusive answer).
From what I read in some posts from early January, Lego doesn't sell
shooting cannons in the US for liability reasons (something about a kid in
the 70's choking on a missile - which sounds like an urban legend to me).
I know for a fact that every Lego pirates set I have (I stopped getting them
around 1994) was purchased in the US and came with US catalogs - and they
all have shooting cannons. Moreover, lots of toys have shooting cannons and
missile launchers.
So what's the deal? Why did the shooting cannons stop shipping with Lego
sets at some point in time? Did they switch in newer pirate sets, or did
they start shipping the non-shooters in continued runs of older sets as
well?
