So I just received the new Easter themed Lego catalog in the mail yesterday and
both of the sets that would be ideal for their promotion are already sold out.
The promotion starts on Friday of this week.

 
Set No: 40523  Name: Easter Rabbits Display
* 
40523-1 (Inv) Easter Rabbits Display
288 Parts, 2022
Sets: Holiday & Event: Easter
 
Set No: 40463  Name: Easter Bunny
* 
40463-1 (Inv) Easter Bunny
293 Parts, 2021
Sets: Holiday & Event: Easter

It's basically a worthless catalog. Why not release the sets on the day
of the promo?

It's a race to get new sets, then you have to place another order to get
the promotion. The same thing will happen on May 4th again.

The problem is that you have to know about the sets in order to search the site
for them. I even follow Lego rumors/leaks sites and did not know about them.

Lego has been selling out really fast since the pandemic, every new product release
has pretty much suffered that fate. Legoland New York has an Easter section in
their online shop, most products are available there, even a bundle with a slight
discount.
