OK, this claim is highly unlikely. But I have just purchased a 30 quid (45 dollar....6 billion lira..) Easter Egg for Her. The Lindt bunny.
More like a Wildebeast than a bunny. The thing weighs a tonne.
Anyone beat that?

NEW YORK - The largest private collection of Faberge Imperial Easter Eggs is to go under the hammer in April. One piece, The Coronation Egg, presented by Tsar Nicholas II to his wife at Easter 1897, would be the most expensive piece of decorative art to be sold at auction if it realizes the upper end of its estimated sales range of $18 million to $24 million.
The pieces all come from the Forbes Collection, owned by the Forbes family, publishers of this Web site.
The Eggs were first commissioned from the House of Faberge by Tsar Alexander III in 1885 as an Easter gift to his wife. The tradition was continued by his son, Tsar Nicholas II, and the pieces have become a byword for treasures of rarity and value.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesOr you could say you have hidden the egg, but don't remember yourself where. Then you can have a great long easter egg hunt which you have to give up in the end. Then you buy the egg the next day, hide it cleverly, and find it again, being amazed how you could always pass by that place the day before without seeing it.

Originally posted by PolicestateWait - is it an egg or a bunny? I always thought those were different things. For example, I have never had scrambled bunnies.

Originally posted by NordlysNot a good choice although when the real things are "out of season", in a pinch they'll do. What I suggest is that you get a lot of the real ones and then freeze what you don't eat straight away....you know for a rainy day.This avoids the need for the inferior dust bunnies.
Okay, I'll have to try that. Can I use dust bunnies?
