I would love to get some Kinder eggs to put in my and my son's Easter baskets. Here in the states we can't typically get the treats and my few black market sources in ethnic shops have dried up due to a spring crackdown by the FDA. Could any of the across-the-pond/border fans here ship me a few eggs?

I hate to be picky when asking for a favor but as I understand it Germany has the best eggs. (It was there I first fell in love with the uberraschung on a high school trip). So Germany is tops for me but I would love and cherish any and all from any other country. I will pay all costs.

Let me know!
It's OK, It's OK...we've all seen better days

    Well, first you would have to tell me what the hell a kinder egg is.

    I have no clue. Plus I'm in the states too, so I really can't help you, but I am curious.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I can do it for you, of course if you want me to. I live in Greece. Just pm me your postal address. How many of them do you want? Two, four?

    I think Germany no longer gets different toys from the rest of Europe if that helps.

    There is a ban on importing them into the States though :shock:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    The surprise. Usually, a little plastic toy.

    I would totally help also, since I can get them anywhere and I am closer to the States.

    But this scares me:

    Such a big deal for such little eggs!
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    How dumb that there is a ban on these, yet how many toys are marketed in the States that could easily be choking hazards? :roll:

    Wow, I never knew it would be hard to come across those in the States :shock: I also read that it's not only because of chokable parts, but also because it's not allowed to hide stuff in chocolate in the States. Well, everyday you learn something new ...

    However, I'm from Germany, and I would take the chance if you want to. The only thing they can do apparently is taking them out of the box and put a note in there.
