In addition to the difficul;ties of transitioning their design department to
a new type of vehicke that would fit a minifigure, Lego also released some
sets twice, the first time with the old, unposeable figure, and then again
with the new current minifigure.
See:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/575
and:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/369
With the particular sets where the vehicles didn't match the minifigures,
they seemed to realize that the new minifigure would be so popular and would
offer such a value, that the sets could sell even without meaningful
interaction between the figure and vehicle.
