I’ve been collecting for about 20 years. It’s not always easy to find something here in Europe that’s good value for money, but the search is a lot of fun. The white wooden butterfly was my first one. The orange one has a wooden axle, all the others are original. ---

I’ve managed to acquire 3 butterflys in the last 3 days. The green one I found in an antique store. Then we ended up at Target later that same day and I found the Easter colored ones. I bought the purple and pink. I did some cap swapping and ended up with what you see here. The yellow one is an xt I’ve had for a while, I stuck the caps out of the purple one into it. The other purple one is from Amazon as you guys know haha. Any guesses to the age of the green one? Mid 90s? ![1000022639](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/b/5/ab5a12652c82c06a117f26be8e861d6ff5c18a13.jpeg) ---

They’re a bit tight but they do fit, add a little weight to it as well. They dont sit completely flush is the only thing. ---
