Me gusta! I am gonna wear my back up even more now! And the Choncheror might be a good choice for roamers...

I have the worst luck ever. 6 unboxes and 3 are freaking festive wranglers :facewall:

 

[Nix]

Loving it.

 

[Orange [INACTIVE]]

You can see the new festives and hats here: http://www.trade.tf/items/updates

I feel like the Black Box, Eyelander, Wranger (no other Strange version available), and Crossbow are the big winners. The Jarate is in "why bother" territory. The GRU... well they look nice and I think a lot of people will be happy with non-Strange versions of them.

-----------------

The Backup and Cocheror are now awesome. They were already pretty good...

Get ready to see the Diamondback.... a lot.

Now you feel my pain ha... No more unboxing for me. I just traded for a s. festive flare gun and s. festive sapper (the only festives I actually like) lol. But I am having some luck selling those fail unboxes

 

[War Rabb]

How much did you sell the wranglers for and how much did you pay for a s. f. sapper?

 

[CrashRIT]

Soda Popper got what was coming to it.. IMO... Hey lets make the scouts ability to run and be fast.. hey lets just make a weapon that builds hype/mini-crits on the classes special ability (running fast).... horrible valve, just horrible

Sad the baby face isnt in here...

 

[Nix]

I love this year's cosmetics!
