Ah yes, the low sloped corner bricks, highly desireable in any color, rare in black,
scarce in red and blue, and very very rare in yellow. Only came in one set in
yellow that I am aware of. That would be the 7740 Intercity Train (1980's), which
had 4 yellow corners for the locomotive roof. For some weird reason, the yellow
corner slopes (of any angle) are extremely rare. The steep slope corner only ever
came in the Yellow Castle (375/6075), and the regular slope corner I believe only
ever came one of the pirate ships and the (4121) dark pink plastic case Paradisa
type basic set.
I don't think they ever made low sloped corners in white, gray or any other color,
but I could be wrong.
