The other awesome thing about plush lulav/estrog sets is that you can buy one and then, when you don't live in brooklyn or somewhere else that they sell fresh esrogim on street corners, and don't *really* care exactly how ritually correct your esrog is, and feel ambivalent about importing fruit from Israel and/or cheap about paying ridiculous prices for them - you can stash it in the basement and use it every year without remembering to go shopping.
