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

My understanding is that there are to be twelve different eggs released. Your
K-Mart promo though may only involve some of these eggs.
