Oooh! I wants, I wants I wants! Kinder eggs are cool in any case, but WHOA!
For those of you who haven't seen them before, they're chocolate eggs (pretty thin chocolate) which break apart on the center line, and then inside there's a plastic container (kind of like those bubble containers they use for toys in vending machines) with a toy inside. I had quite a collection when I was in Germany since I used to pick up two or three a week.
You couldn't see what was inside - no indication - and there were usually several different series' of toys going at once. Some the toys were surprisingly high quality for what you would expect to find in a fairly inexpensive candy. Metal figurines and such. I would send a big crate of them to my younger siblings for Christmas, and they had complete sets for some series', I think.
At one point a few years back (maybe five years ago now), there was an effort to start importing them into the states, but someone decided they were daaaaaangerous because you had to open the chocolate rather than just stick the whole thing in your mouth or someone could choke. This in spite of the fact that they're marked all over the place with stuff saying "not for children under age 3" or something along those lines.
You can still get them in Canada, but they aren't the German ones, so I doubt they have LOTR ones. But I wants!
They have something like that here in the States by Disney. They're called Wonder Balls.
Chocolate balls scored in the center, you break them open and they have Disney-character shaped sweet tarts inside with either a sticker or tattoo of a matching film character.
You never know what Disney movie you will find inside. My daughter loves them (even though I cannot STAND Eisner and the filth he has dragged Disney into).
These Kinder eggs sound far more fascinating, but unfortunately, the USA has become rather wimpified and everything is for the chillllrrrun.
