Interesting thing about 080 is that it never appeared in the UK catalogues
AFAIK. First there was 010 to 070, then it went to 011 to 088 Super Set
(with motor). However, 080 was in the French catalogue, and if you asked for
a UK toy shop to get it for you, they could (and in my case, did). It was
still an 080 when it came.

And, yes, I do have vague memories of the actual baseplates being slightly
'wrong'.

Hope this helps,

Phil in Yorkshire.

It looks like the box I've got from set 080, I'm just wondering if it
has the same number in the UK.

It is indeed 080 8-) ...I found it at a toy fair a couple of weeks back. • It
was definitely incomplete, although the four special baseplates were • there,
but slightly different from those shown on the box and in the • instructions - 4
studs (?) narrower than shown, i.e. there is insufficient space for the • tiles
on the paths...
