How about http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30100. 'Panel Double Wall 3 x 6 x
6'
It appears in one set (apart from a brief Dacta appearance) and whilst its a
handy part to have, the function it performs in the only set it is in could
equally well be done by 2 of these http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2345
'Panel Wall 3 x 3 x 6 Corner' as the only difference is the window which is
covered up in the only set it apears in. Maybe I'm being unfair, as Lego
have provided a nice piece, but they never actually used it as intended in a
set.
