I too have found it harder to source the green tins than the orange ones. Presumably this was due to the .22 calibre being more popular than .177 at the time these pellets were produced.

I've never been able to acquire the flat 1000 green tin, or the later quadrant 200 tin either, although I haven't been looking very hard recently, as I believe several of the 200 quadrant tins have been offerd on Eb@y.
As I'm now downsizing, I'm still not looking very hard.
