Not really weird, but as a big fan of soft boiled eggs, I got a couple of
minifig head egg cups at the employee store in Billund along with a salt and
pepper shaker for them. Then found the egg timer at Scott Lyttle's store in

I also got one of the limited edition cars Kjeld designed--do not know whether
to open it or just leave it on the shelf.
