On top of foam? I saw articles talking about wanting to "crack them open," lol, there wouldn't be much to see if that's all they are.

Where are you seeing a list date?

near the bottom of the page, below the orange "Shop more similar items" box, and above the "Enter your email - Subscribe" box.

you are right that there are reviews for the eggs before April 20th, but it looks like those reviews are for other colors, not the purple ones specifically.

So yeah.  You want one?  It's only $35, lol.

"Listed on Apr 20, 2018", well after the original eggs were sent out.


Where are you seeing a list date?  I don't think that date indicates the real list date.  These have been on etsy for the past month.  Maybe it wasn't noticed widely until after the eggs were sent out, but it was definately before April 20th.  And the reviews for the eggs date as far back to 2015.

What else are those companies going to do with them?

If one popped up on eBay, how many of you would try bidding on it?
