Knew some collected them but DAMN at some of you guys that " caught 'em all!" have them displayed well with great pix. Planed on giving them out. But I might trade them off to members here that need some since they are sought after and me having one 2024 is not a collection by any strech. Gonna have to think about it they haven't even arrived yet. Actually, back in the day the Christmas Dillos were free. Not the bulk pack but if you had ordered anything during the year LaRue would send you one free for Christmas along with a Christmas card to say thank you. That tradition is what started me collecting the Dillos to begin with. Hell I would buy something just to get remembered at Christmas. Then it stopped. Now here we are today. The end of a legacy. I missed out this year. I have a year or so missing but mostly I have a good collection. I could probably plead or trade some spares but it all just doesn't feel the same any more. The Christmas Dillo used to be something fun. Something that a lot of us had in common and something we could all have fun with and even agree on. Now it just seems it's all going away. Merry Christmas guys, it was good while it lasted. --Wes |

Haven't seen any forums mention them this year so I think those went away also. |

Haven't seen any forums mention them this year so I think those went away also. Got a 24 APEX ornament with a parts kit. Since supplies are shoddy this year, there are member who I will send a new dillo to, and other's who are shitbags who still owe me a dillo and shipping... |

If any kind soul would be willing to sell me two (one for me and one for my buddy AFSOC) of their 2024 Christmas Dillos I would happily pay you for them. Just let me know via PM how much $$ and how to get it to you please. Thank you in advance, Eric |

Who needs a 24? Looking for those who have none, not those looking for extras  |

Unlike others i liked marks no nonsense attitude and the little things LT did when you ordered, like the targets, dillo dust and dillos in the order. im thinking this may be the end of the dillo but who knows? |

| To those I’ve promised a 2024 Dillo to: Apparently they’re held up in Tualatin, OR. The arrival date has pushed back the past 2 days. The pass over Shasta must be getting hammered with snow. I’ll get them out to you either the day of or day after they arrive depending on time. Hopefully they will get to you guys before Christmas. |

Since you took care of him (I was trying to see if I had one more), I think I'll take care of our new member who just joined. I have to triple check my count, but I think I have one more to spare. |

I live at the base of the pass. It was slammed last night. Chains only. Guessing it was closed for a while. |

I got one today compliments of my friend @AirborneCIB. Thank you brother! Hopefully it’s not the last year for them. Merry Christmas guys! Attached File |

I have a hard time believing ML and team would stop these. As long as LT is in business, I think we'll have our Christmas Dillos. |

Kinda like the NOLO’s etc. while those are for charity purposes; the Christmas Dillo’s still bring in a good chunk of change I would think. Hopefully they continue, if not it’s been a good run. |
