The only occurrence of such a thing in my whole life was a box of 6332 (Town
Jr Police Headquarters) which I won from a promotional lottery by a TRU in
Istanbul. There was a 1x6x5 brick missing and one trans green/black window
block (the newly introduced -in 1998- with both level and diagonal portions)
extra. There is no Lego Service or CA in Turkey, so I went back to TRU and
the package was changed with a new one.
