I'm referring to actually owning the sets, versus sussing out what's
going on from brochure photos.

3 sets is plenty, though, for such a rare styled element.

OK, thought he MIGHT have meant the door with vertical slats in in, as
from the original yellow castle. Both 6067 Guarded Inn and 6355 Derby
Trotter had this in Blue. Also came (comes, as it's been reintroduced)
in Black, Clear, Pink, Red, and White.

Hey, you missed the most interesting part: Unlike the non-barred version
of this door, it's almost always come in only a right-hand variety, but
the yellow one in 6391 is a unique LEFT handed copy!

Whoops. Misread stuff. The blue original style of this I only have
listed in one set as well: 1590 ANWB Promotional Set; I was only 1 line
off. :-P
One nice thing about the new version: It's come in Black, Blue, Green,
Grey, Red, and White varieties, so yellow is perhaps only a short matter
of time.
Then again, it looks like that element has been superceded itself by a
new Town Jr. version that has three panes to it. <sigh>
