(...) Dino Head Attack had 7 technic bricks in it (including a 1x16 in black), Gungan Sub had 2 1x16s in blue, four in the droid dev kit, etc. So the pcs are out there, just bits here and there. Ray (22 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

You can 'have' the two 8862's currently up as I've already got one (actually the first set I owned, closely followed by 8868 - and in my opinion the range has gone down hill from there with only a few exceptions (OK about 20 exceptions!)) :-) (...)
