I should have a nice collection, but all of my extra's are given away....with a son in college, the 'dillo's do not last long, all of his friends want them....the hats are distributed among my buddies who are not smart enough to order from LT, the dillo dust stays in my outdoor BBQ area...
77 Last count I had 11 dillos at one time.... |

Where did you get that? Okinawa, not sure what that red material is, it's kind of like a rock/wood substance of some sort. Pretty cool stuff. They sell all kinds of stuff in Okinawa made of the same material. You a Jarhead? |

You a Jarhead? No but that doesn't make it any less cool. 
I thought it would make a cool gift for my cousin. He's stationed in Japan so he probably already has one. |

Hey Nicholsmf,
I feel kinda stupid for asking, but do you know David Standing? He was a Major, stationed in Okinawa last I heard. Like I said, feel kinda stupid for asking, trying to find a jarhead in a haystack... but if you do, ask him about the akuma-chan in Urawa KOROSHITE MO SHINNA NAI! (this little kid with two pigtails that looked like horns coming out of her head yelling "even if you kill me, I won't die!" We called her the "devil child".) Haven't been to Japan since '86, sure do miss the food. Anyway, back to the thread....I now have 'dillo envy. I gotta go order more stuff from LT |

Did a little research for you though and it seems there is only one David Standing on record and he is a Captain in the Individual Ready Reserve. |

Great thread idea, I think you should include how you can or did acquire them to the list. IE- 2008 Christmas Dillo (recieved from mailing list) Black beverage entry tool recieved with orders or purchased from site. Other then that I have nothing to add All of my black dillos came with orders with exception of one. Once, just for shits and giggles, I ordered a dillo, nothing else, just a dillo. I only did it to see if LaRue gave free dillos away if you bought a dillo. They do. |

I only did it to see if LaRue gave free dillos away if you bought a dillo. They do. I ordered just a 6 pack of 2008 Christmas Dillo's, and got a free Black one with the order. We have in possession; 1 Red 2007 Christmas Dillo - Scored off of all places, EBAY! Wasn't on his list yet in 2007. 2 Green 2008 Christmas Dillo - One from Mark, and one I kept from the 6 pack. The rest were gifts. 2 Black Field Survival Device - No lube 2 Black Field Survival Device - With lube 2 Black Beverage Entry Tool - With lube 1 Black that we use. I would guess it was from the no lube FSD packaging. As it was our first Dillo, and we HAD to use it.
Also gave away 2 Black ones to friends, both had lube, but don't remember the package wording. All but the 6 pack, and the Green Christmas Dillo and the one Black we got at the NRA show in Louisville this year, were from orders from LaRue. The NRA show one was a normal Black, no special markings for the show.

I wonder if someone at LaRue has a glass case with every version. One of the hopes I had when starting this thread was hat someone from LT would chime in and help us out with pics or at least comments on the anthropological evolutionary history of the DILLO (Armadillarue Tacticallus) |
I dont have a picture with all of mine together, but here is a picture I took when I was bored. Since the picture, I have received several black dillos from additional purchases and (thanks again LaRue) a green 2008 Holiday Dillo.
And although this one isnt mine, at last...finally a picture of the "Texas" shaped Dillo. I had heard stories and rumors, but apparently they are for real. I would love to have one of these. I dont imagine there is too many of them out there.
