Instructions are not a valid source of which parts were actually in a set, especially
for older sets. Instructions are made earlier and separately from the production
of parts and packaging of the sets.

It's possible that the set may have come with 8x24 in some later production
runs, but we need solid proof of that from an actual set. The current inventory
with 8x22 has been confirmed twice.

As such, this request will be rejected.

Sorry, I misread your message regarding instructions. Please ignore what I wrote
above.

I do need to ask: What is the source of your claim? How do you know that it's
in fact a 8x24 plate that came in this set, and not 8x22 as shown in the instructions?

The 8x24 baseplate was removed from the inventory and replaced by 8x22 back in
2017. This may have been an error because the inventory with 8x22 baseplate was
confirmed by a sealed set back in 2009.

Further investigation will be done with regards to this set, and we will make
changes accordingly.
