Yes, initially there were 5 B00x parts. The 1x4x3 thin wall (except it
was the clear one which was B001, and the 1x4x5 window with trans light
blue glass (B002) have become normal parts.
B004 and B005 the red and black low slope peaks are both still in the
catalog. I didn't see B003, the doors, in the latest catalog.
Here's a post from Mike Walsh which notes this change:
