In Amongst the Simpsons DVD Sets, nice little secrets are hidden away. So, I figured, why not start a thread to list all these little goodies so they can be enjoyed by all? I'll post a list of the ones that I know about and ones i find on he internet, feel free to add to it, and i'll try to update this thread with any extra ones you guys dig up. Mods feel free to add stuff in here too!
Also, if you believe that an egg you find is region specific, please mention that, so that people in other regions can check their sets.
Updates will be highlighted in red, when added after the initial lot.
