I noticed something simlar recently- I have 2 Blacktron I Message Intercept
Bases (Both with original instructions) that vary slightly. One came from
the UK, the other from Austria. Where the big 6x12x12 black panels with
blacktron logo connect to the 2x16 plate it is different. One set uses a 1x2
technic brick and a black 2x2 brick with techic pin underneath(and studs on
top, like seen in the ST-ST and landspeeder) The other uses a 1x2 hinge
brick and a 2x2 turntable. If you need some pics or scans or somthing let me
know.
What I want to know is why? I think it is rather weird that this set have
these diferences. Maybe one was rather weak or something. But they both hold
up fine for me.
