Default Removal of Ceramic Tile and Reuse

I have a kitchen with 8" ceramic tiles.
There is one spot, in particular,
where 4 or 5 of the tiles are cracked.
I went to the tile store and they "no
longer make that tile." They did have a
close 2nd, however, it does look a
little different. If I could safely
remove a few tiles from a less
conspicuous place and install them where
the cracked tile are presently, it would
look a whole lot better. The new tiles
could then be used to replace the
removed tiles. Does anyone know of a
way to remove tiles in one piece? BTW,
there is unfinished basement below.
And, the original tile was put down with
thin set. Thanks.
