I agree with you on 1x1x5s and 1x2x5s, but I've got to disagree with you on
1x6x5s.  They are very useful, especially if they had been used in
Set 6699.  If I hit this set in a certain way, the side wall would
collapse.  :)

I didn't know they had Town Jr. back in '87.

The 1x6x5's are even older, I think late 70's. Look up these sets:

We got 230 at a clearance somewhere in the early 80's. I loved the 1x6x5's
back then because it allowed me to build much bigger buildings than before.
It also had 1x6x3's and 1x6x5 windows which were also useful in towns (no
1x4x5 windows back then).
