Take a look at:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=493-1
and
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0493/
Pause shows the set using a crater baseplate, while the instruction
scans show a plain grey baseplate with craters built of bricks. Are
there any other sets which have such a wide difference? Does anyone know
when this change took place?

...craters built of bricks...
That was me that posted that on RTL, and now I feel a little silly. I should
have recognized those as craters. Duh. Guess I let my imagination run away
with itself! Pretty weird "craters" though.
Still looking for info,

Well, for me, it did help that I looked at the picture in Pause first...

Thanks Todd! A long bit of research on Deja.com also turned up most of the
info I was looking for. Pretty cool to read messages from four years ago.
But do the boxes for the first version show the do-it-yourself craters? And
are those grey curved corner pieces hard to find?

Yes, the instructions show how to make them. And those curved corner pieces
can be found in the Landspeeder set, 2 in each box.

It sounds like it might be worth getting something into the Lugnet data
base to make it more visible that there are two different versions of
this set.
