Any thoughts or interest in making a group buy pact so that everyone here is covered in 2025 if it's like that again? I'm in. I need 3. If I'm able to get a 6-pack, I'll have 3 available to give to folks who need them. If I don't, I'll be looking for 3. |

| The problem is going to compound when people start buying more than they normally would and actually make the problem worse. On top of that the opportunists that will purchase for the secondary market after all the upset people from last year went to Egay and wherever people scalp shit. I've got every Christmas Dillo except for the 1st year and I have always thrown extras to folks that missed out, but if it is going to turn into a Starbucks Bear or a Black Friday rush to get a set, I may be done. It was a fun tradition to give friends and share good fortune, and I am hoping that will be how it continues. |
| I usually buy 1 - 6 pack. I keep 1 for myself, and 3 to give to my son and 2 son-in-laws. I should have 2 to offer. I also have some left over from previous years. Would need to do an inventory, to see what I have left over, would be willing to help anyone fill in their missing Christmas Dillo's . So I can cover 2 this year, if I get to order them. Anyone interested in covering me if I miss out? |

And then this thread will blowup with people trying to get 1 from another member. I know from personal experience, I had to come here to get one from last year because they sold out so fast as we all know. If we all logged in and bought 2+ 6pks when theyre released, theyll be gone in no time flat. |

It was a fun tradition to give friends and share good fortune, and I am hoping that will be how it continues. That's the scary part. I did a google search to see the different colors, and most were ebay links. $35 for a dillo across the board. I used to get one with an order, but that stopped in 2019, hence I don't have a 19. Since then, I just buy a 6 pack, give away some to people I know, keep one, and trade/get shafted for the rest. Maybe my experience, but people who trade are waaay more trustworthy than people who say send one and I'll pay you later. I'm 50/50 on folks who pay the $15 delivered and those who just ghost me. Those who I just send one to willynilly, who offer to pay shipping, and I decline, no issues. I did get some PIF this year, so my faith in humanity is getting better. Just be aware some schmucks will try to cheat you on an $8 bottle opener. I just don't get it. |

Combine them. Bored housewives are paying beaucoup bucks for a bear shaped cup. I wish I was kidding. I thought you were kidding. I’m older so if you had said cabbage patch kids or chia pets I would have known. Let’s not make the dillo the next cabbage patch kid! |

Originally Posted By SpeyRod: Starbucks bear? Tell me more! @SpeyRod  My Son's girlfriend wanted one, and since I was furloughed I was kind enough to stand in line at Target and get one. Then I see people selling them for $300 on Ebay. It's a testament to my character that this one isn't on there as well.

Originally Posted By MisterPX: Admit it, you just wanted two chances for the golden dillo. If I did I would have made two orders. My interpretation was one entry per order. Honestly didn’t even see that until after I ordered. Didn’t scroll down on the email. I can’t tell what color they are. |

Thanks AJ! I'm expecting that I'll have three leftover 25s, and others said they planned to have spares as well, so I think we should be able to make sure those of you who missed this year can still get one. |
