There is unfortunately only four different eggs, but there is twelve eggs in a
box, three of each type. I don't think that there will be more types comming
this year. There is also only four types in the 2000 catalog. I saw the eggs at
one of the Boston K-mart stores. I only bought the small car. It is really
cute, and my daughter loved playing with the egg itself.
