Pro tip for going to the Lego store: go on a school night. It should be pretty dead in there. My wife and I went this past Thursday evening, and there weren't many people there. We usually go early on weekend, as soon as the Lego store opens, but weeknights are way better. Much easier to take our time to browse the shelves for new sets.

The new 40237 Lego Easter Egg Hunt set is now available, so we grabbed it. I know, it seems silly that it's more than two months away, and it's not even Valentine's Day yet. But that's typical of our consumer-driven society. Oh well, I'm not complaining.
I will use it at decoration, but I may also use them in the Park I'm designing. Not use how to incorporate such a small egg hunt into the activities in the park though. The Romantic Valentine Picnic I got last month can be added to the Park with no problem. People have picnics in the park all the time. But an Easter Egg Hunt? That's an annual occurrence, not a daily one.

My wife and I also went through the bin of Lego Batman Movie minifigures to see if we could find the ones needed to complete the collection. We found Dick Grayson, Fairy Batman, Pink Power Batgirl, and Red Hood. We could have found the last two I need, Commissioner Gordon and The Mime, but I was hungry and impatient. I didn't want to take the time to find them, I wanted some dinner.

Unlike the last few series of minifigures, we haven't found any at Target yet. I'll wait until they start showing up there before I track down the last two needed for this series. No need to make a special trip to the Lego store for two minifigures and an $8 purchase. It's just not worth it.
