Get thee out to K-Mart! :)
K-Mart stores in Boston (maybe everywhere?) are having a BOGO (Buy One Get One
50%-off) sale on all LEGO, and the new LEGO DUPLO "eggs" are on the shelves
here! :-s
There are 4 eggs so far (I'm hopefully expecting more, and I'm hoping these
aren't just purely a short-term promo):

These eggs are much cooler than they look at first glance --
* The top and bottom separate into two *real* and usable DUPLO elements
(with small holes so your kid won't suffocate).
* You can fit a PRIMO fig inside the egg. (One of the DUPLO sets comes with
a DUPLO kid fig and a racecar that actually fits inside of the egg.)
* The top (clear) half of the egg has 4 DUPLO studs on top, and the bottom
(colored) half of the eggs has 4 DUPLO studs on the inside.
* The bottoms come in four colors: blue, red, yellow, and green.
And the best part!--
* The egg pieces are DUPLO compatible (naturally :) but also PRIMO compatible
(most DUPLO things are :) and SYSTEM compatible.
* To adapt the brick to SYSTEM compatibility, simply use two 2x4 SYSTEM
bricks at the base inside! Now you've basically got a LEGO SYSTEM egg,
and you can put minifigs and whatever else you want inside the egg! :-s
* These would be fun for a kid to leave out for Easter, the night before,
and see if the Easter Bunny fills 'em up with jelly beans. (I'm gonna
try that. :)
* With K-Mart's BOGO sale, these are $2.99 each plus sales tax.
Bad things:
* The only way to get the green egg bottom is to buy a Little Forest Friends
set. (Little Forest Friends are those "fleshy-dough-blob" people that came
out in DUPLO last year that look like Strawberry Shortcake meets the
Smurfs.) But for 3 bucks, it's still not that bad.
* All four of the sets have the same set number and the same UPC symbol.
Grrrowl. %^E
