hidden treasures

As I mentioned earlier, I'm in the process of moving. In this, I've found several Star Wars items I hadn't gotten around to opening. For instance, I found a pack of Pit Droids and Battle Droids on 2007 cards, and two more Biker Scouts, which brings my total numbers of Biker Scout action figures to 12.

But this stuff I just can't find. I was having a conversation with someone from JediDefender, and I hope he doesn't mind, but I'm going to copy and paste a little snippet of what he wrote, since it sums up exactly what the problem is in better words than I could. ....I was referring to the fact that finding a figure or vehicle wasn't anywhere near as complicated back then as it seems ...
