I've not been a member of the crew as long as most (maybe all) of you so I gotta ask... Aside from the Christmas, Fort Hood and Black Standard issue Dillo (LT-205) thats is always on the LT site, where/how are you guys getting the other various and rare ones??? I'd really like to start my own Dillo Squad... |

Well which ones are you wondering about? SHOT dillos come from the SHOT show, holiday ones are sent out to Team LaRue members around the holidays (and ship with orders during that time, too). Special event dillos (Sitka?) are given out AT those events. Etc., etc.

Thanks for the reminder, it was a good read... I knew there were a ton of different Dillos; I just did not know how everyone was getting them.. Didn't know If they were bought of the LT site, sent out on occasions , gotten only at shows and events, etc... Would be cool it they would offer them on the site too... (I know, then they won't be as rare) |

(I know, then they won't be as rare) Bingo. Some are easy to come by, some are not  . People trade and sell them all the time. Ebay is another place to keep an eye on if you've got the cash. I'm not going to go into trade secrets, you've got to find a method that works well for you.

You could get lucky like me and get handed one of the rarest Dillos by the daddy of Dillos ,ML himself, at a trade show.  or you could be me and get even luckier and wind up with thta rarest example 7 years later due to the graciousness of the original owner and the bribery of some great friends. ETA: I will NEVER forget that act Gentlemen- NEVER!!! |

I'd really like to start my own Dillo Squad... you can also buy the 1911 tool which is a 'dillo' from LT. List which ones you have here, them IM me your address- I'll get you started with a special edition you don't yet have. Please review the ARMADILLARUE TACTICALLUS thread for the most comprehensive data heretofore compiled. For speical editions, most people trade something for them and TAMUJEEP'S LT SWAG TRADING THREAD is an ideal locale for just such activities. |

I can see a year or so from now(or a couple of years), if I get a pretty good collection of Dillos, I'm gonna have to get me a nice lighted Curio cabinet to display them in.... Sadly, I think my brothers on here are the only ones besides me that will apprecieate them.... |

Quoted: "it" and a POD escort detail left for you this morning They have arrived !!! A few pics of them of the detail, attached with the group form a small squad.... ( LT-206 has not yet arrived from HQ yet) He should arrive in the next day or so....   Big Thank You AL!!!!!! The Wife was laughing at me and said I was a dork for getting all happy about my new toys, carrying on, taking pics and whatnot.... |
| I just got my 'dillo from Larue's store. Sadly, when I purchased a Dillo they did not give me a free Dillo, but I'd purchased three small vinyl stickers (one for the laptop, one for my car, one for ... my nalgene bottle maybe?) and they gave me one of each bumper sticker. The only downside is that since I live very close to enemy territory (live in northern Virginia, commute through DC into MD) I'm probably not going to use them on my car. |

SNIP The Wife was laughing at me and said I was a dork for getting all happy about my new toys, carrying on, taking pics and whatnot.... And here I thought I was the only one whose wife did that! I too have been lucky enough to be on Al's list, and had the opportunity to return some of that good karma to him. |
