I was confused about this as well.  I explicitly had the operator verify
that these trans thin walls are identical to those used in 4561.   These are
light blue trans-blue thin walls as opposed to the dark blue variety seen in
aquanaut and other sets.

I love these parts.  Prior to this offering, I did a trade deal with Tom
Stangl for 100 of these he had gotten by parting out many 4561 sets.  They
are now used to cover a 13 story sky-scraper (sorry - no pictures yet).

I just ordered another 150 of these plus a bunch of white bricks.  I'm going
to build a modern art museum.  The total bill was $95 including shipping.
This sounds like a lot, but in order to get that many bricks before, I would
have had to buy about 5 times that amount of stuff and THEN I would have had
to trade half of it to get sufficient quantities of the required bricks.
