I called on Monday and they told me they would start shipping this week. Not sure the exact date though.

@Mrpiedfort - There is probably no ETA. They will probably ship them out as they get them. I have heard a lot of people say April 30th though.

Why do I get the impression that all the butterflies look the same. I mean I have one bee fatter than the other.

I thought handmade meant that each bug was unique. If the butterflies look the same, either the artisan is really good or they found a way of mass producing identical butterflies. Not a complaint, but impressed by the craftmanship compared to my two bee coins.

Not surprising to me that prices will drop a bit as more and more of the butterflies show up in the secondary market. I expect prices to be in that range for awhile.
