Finding the System icons in 10.2

The location of the system icons in Jaguar has changed. Instead of being placed in HIToolbox.rsrc, submerged in a path roughly equivalent to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, they are in a new file and a new location. The directory is /System -> Library -> CoreServices -> SystemIcons.bundle -> Contents -> Resources, and the exact file is SystemIcons.icns. OOoooh! Intuitive!!!!

Note, though, that this isn't everything! The most notable exception is mounted drive icons (like those from .dmg files). So a little more detective work is on order. But in the meantime, bust out Iconographer and get rid of those ugly folders!
