I always loved larue because of the service, quality and interactions mark had with people online. Seems like Mark is wanting to get out and retire period. I can’t think of why else to shift to dealers and stop the collectible stuff other than to sell. |

I have been passively watching their website, but haven’t seen anything. What was the deal last year? They sold out in record time and I have been watching on eBay to see if I could pick up another one and haven’t been able to. Hoping they will continue the tradition, I think I’ve been collecting them for about 15 years |

I got lucky last year. Better to be good- luck runs out.  I believe many more folks will be sharking the website this year as Thanksgiving approaches. Thanksgiving is just not the same without the new Dillo. Stay frosty gentlemen.  |

I've been on Arfcom officially since 2005, and was lurking unofficially well before that. I have been collecting LaRue Christmas Dillos ever since I became a happy LaRue owner back in 2008. Once they became available only in 6-packs, I would buy a 6-pack and keep one for myself while giving the other five away each year. Sadly I did not pounce on last year's email notification until the day after Thanksgiving, and that was too late. My buddy AFSOC also missed out. If anyone has one or two that they would be willing to part with I would be very grateful and happily pay you for them. Please let me know via PM or direct email eric10mm at yahoo dotcom. I think I have a pretty good EE feedback rating. I hope to be quicker when this years notification goes out, if there is one. Thank you in advance, Eric |

2024 email went out at around 2pm est on Wednesday before thanksgiving. First time in history it was out in 24 hours. I, like most, was enjoying time with family and not on my phone on purpose those days. Looked at it Thanksgiving night and it was gone. 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 not opposed to it, but the only reason I bought a 6 pack last year was because I wanted a couple, but discount pricing for the pack, and the shipping was the same for one or 6. Reshipping with current usps rates is nuts. Last year I sent dillos for $5, this year, it's $8. I think that's what ML charges for one/six. |

I shipped one in a small padded envelope last week via USPS Ground Advantage for $4.80. I purchased/printed the label at home through USPS Click-N-Ship. PayPal Shipping Center and Pirate Ship are some other options. Here are some rates for the same package through the PayPal Shipping Center: Attached File |

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. |
