They correspond to 4x2x4 lego pieces (slightly bigger than you are asking for, but not knowing the details of your build you might be able to incorporate these) and they interconnect (a 2x2 lego piece fits on a single DUPLO stud.)

Answers.Body: <p>As odd Todd mentioned LEGO never made 2x2x4 pieces. The largest brick of similar size is 2x2x3 and 2x4x3. For larger smooth surfaces LEGO usually uses panels. You can find all the panels LEGO ever made here: <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catString=91" rel="nofollow">http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catString=91</a></p>

Body: <p>I'm just wondering if anybody here knows where I can get some 2x2x4 pieces ... It seems that Lego doesn't make many just standard bricks that are 4 high ... I've found a few singles here and there on Ebay, but these don't exit in the pick a brick store and they are reeeally hard to find. Looking for about 16 Dark Stone Gray 2x2x4 pieces ... any leads? Or any idea why they don't make standard bricks that are 4 high? I assume it's because you can easily stack to 2 highs, but for cosmetic reasons I can't do this in my build. Thanks!</p>

Not sure if the "x4" is perhaps marketing speak for the fact that there are 4 studs on the top, but they are clearly (also visible on the picture) only 3 bricks high.

Comments.Text: Oh and note that some use the deceiving perspective of putting a brick flat to show that it covers 4 studs on a base-plate, but that doesn't mean that they are also 4 bricks high as the width to height ratio for a LEGO brick is not 1:1.

  I can't find any evidence that a 2x2x4 piece has ever existed. Bricklink identifies a [2x2x3 brick](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30145), and there are many sellers around the world that will happily sell you [16 dark stone grey pieces for pennies/piece](http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?colorID=85&itemID=353&qMin=16).
