Yup! $9.50 to your conus door. That’s just cost ($3) and shipping ($6.50 after buying the padded bag). Taking a bit of a loss due to taxes and my inability to do math, but I’d rather be out $0.50 than someone not get a sweet pink butterfly. I have 5 left I think.

I checked both Targets in Culver City, and all they had was one sad red Imperial between them. 🫤

Because everyone here has spent the past couple of weeks ransacking every store for them for some odd reason that evades logic.

Can anyone tell if these are the “new mold”  
Butterfly’s? The butterfly stamp looks like the new variety but the 5 character letter code is ABOVE instead of BELOW the word butterfly so I’m a bit confused.

The back of the packaging says “©2024 Duncan Toys Company” FWIW.

Thanks for your input

Thanks for the quick reply!

…I just did something silly and purchased an obscene amount of these…88 units!

Aside for a few I’ll inadvertently keep for myself these are all intended to be give aways!
