I can give a little background on this. A couple of years ago I got to take a
tour of the Model Shop. The Model Builder giving the tour showed us a whole bin
of these. He said they were ordered by mistake and would either be destroyed or
dumped into the building bins in the Maniac Clubhouse. At the end of the tour,
we were allowed to pick one piece to take home. I picked of of these slopes
because of how rare they were. I guess they aren't so rare now after all. :-)

Don't worry, They are still VERY rare. There was only one box of this produced.
I figure the box held perhaps 10,000 to 15,000 of these bricks. So, that should
make it even more rare the Maersk Blue, which has at least been available in
sets. The reason they got out to the LEGO Clubhouse, is that the overstock
bricks from the Modelshop iventory are slowly being worked into the bulk brick
program!
