Anyone here in LUGNET have any clue as to where they came from? The
pieces I am getting are from Israel (if that means anything).

7740 Intercity Train had four, I think.  I don't think anything else ever came
with any.

Now, if memory serves me correctly, these 3x3 low sloped outside corner
bricks are available in:  Red, Black, Blue (Star Wars), and now Yellow.
Have these ever appeared in Grey (perhaps a train set), or any other
color?

I do not know of Grey, and the blue ones are from Ninja, not Star Wars.  ;)

Also, it would sure be great if TLG made a low sloped version of what
many AFOLs like to call the "half pyramid" sloped brick, but which can
also be call a "gable end".  These would be great for making  a "hip"
(no gables) roof.

It seems like they'd almost be too small.  It would be nice though.  :)

Really curious!

(...) Thanks Jeff. That 7740 Intercity Train is also the one that has those rare grey 2x2 windows. You're right about the blue corner slopes. It's a Ninja (I knew it was a 1999 set) set that has them. Gary Istok (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.build)
