I've never purchased a Kialara (or any physical bitcoin, aside from 1 aluminum Casascius), but anyone can tell from the pictures that Max produces a high quality product. I can begin to understand the effort and expectations that goes into the process of creating a product, although my product is considerably less complex and a lot less time consuming to assemble than a Kialara. Anyway, if there is one thing I've learned with managing expectations it's: add a week or two (or three) to your best estimate of delivery!
