Mark/Mark;
The green 2008 Holiday Dillos were available for bulk purchase on the website. I believe the power of the blue dillo is great, and many would want to gift them. Will you be offering the option with this year's selection? <edited by mfingar> Order up! (in my best "Mel's Diner" voice) LINK

I would be in for a couple of them. I know I just made a order last week so I could get one, and now I'm trying to decide what to order so I can get another one. I think I have a problem.  Hi...My name is Todd...and I have a problem... The funny thing is about 2-3 weeks ago I placed an order, and got a regular dillo. Then a couple days later logged on to see the 2010 Holiday dillo. Then of course I had to place another order because I don't have any special dillos, and this will be my first. |

I've gotten better....but just cause i want an OBR...

Will you be offering the option with this year's selection? Would definitely be in for some. Don't even need any packaging with the little buggers, can send them just as they are for gifts and such. |

I'd like to buy a 6" piece of the raw extrusion they're made from. Would be a nifty paper weight. THIS! That would be pretty awesome! Extrusion? I always assumed they were cut with a waterjet or something like that. What's an hour of time on a water-jet run? |
ITAR & UK quarantine laws mean that Dillo's are NOT available for non-US customers!! I've had one smuggled into PA & it's attemting to sneak past the TSA JBT's to head over here to Scotland for a vacation...plan to post a pic of it next to a few Edinburgh land-marks (1-o'clock gun, Greyfriars Bobby statue, etc.) ...any ideas of an escape route for other Dillo's more than welcome - I hear they thrive in the cooler climate here & take to single-malt very well in lieu of Texas swamp water |

I'd be interested in seeing a few pictures of the process in how these are made though. |

I'd be interested in seeing a few pictures of the process in how these are made though. Mind you I'm only guessing but looking at the dillo (and a number of other bits of Larue gear) I can see where near net shape extrusions finished in a CNC mill (or simply tumbled in the case of the dillos) would be the most cost effective way to produce them. |

It seems unlikely that the dillo is made of unalloyed aluminum given the performance requirements. |

They have there own little sancuary, plenty of room, male to female ratio is correct, but still won't multiply. I think it may have something to do with my wife.
