It's not just you. Unless something comes out of nowhere Spyderco has the best 2017 lineup by a mile. The only problem is a lot of what I want is made in Japan and those are running high price wise, so I'm not gonna be able to afford nearly all of what I want.

The Sliver looks the most interesting to me by far. The new Southard would be perfect except I just can't stand recurve blades.

A lot of interesting stuff. The A.T. Barr One-Eyed Jack is an interesting and attractive collaboration. A.T. has been around so long, it's nice to see some collaborations with some classic old timers, not just the new hotness.
I think the compression lock will go well with the flipper craze. I like Spyderco flippers because I really value the second opening method, and the compression lock will also modestly improve reliability of the flipping action, I think, since your fingers aren't resting on the lock mechanism while you're opening.
The 100 Step knife I think is hideous when closed, but much improved when open. I think it would actually be a nice fixed blade, although the lines of the handle are still a little busy for that. I love the blade shape.
Still really impressed by the Euroedge, though I don't really see a need to get one.
The Southard Hanan looks great. A little small for my taste, but I love the scales, compression lock, and recurve blade.

Bought a Southard, bought a Domino. Like them both very much but I thought, "well, now I don't have to buy any more Spyderco flippers. I know what they are like."
Except now they are making compression lock flippers! And one is a Southard! I'm definitely tempted by it and the "Sliver."

The sliver has my attention for sure.
The Q-ball might be a nice EDC/user option as I like flat edges.

Definitely the kind of knife you need to fondle before you buy.
