[PTTG??]

Oh, someone needed a dispenser while I was on... I thought this might help.

[Giant Snowman]

I wish I could filter those servers off my list. Too bad it doesn't let you filter for names.

[Mr.Person]

I hope there's some crafting using the Ghastly Gibus. I would love to be able to transform the Gibus into a different hat. Since I have 2 of them, I could craft the bugger and still keep a Gibus for general wearing.

Several ideas:

Bonk Helmet + Jarate = Jarate Helmet

Sandvich + Sandvich + Sandvich + Sanvich + Sandvich + Blutsauger = Syringwich Gun

Bill's Hat + Gentle Mann's Service Medal = M1 Garand

Ghastly Gibus + Jarate = Golden Top Hat

Jarate + Bonk! + Sandvich = Full English

Backburner + Razorback = Razorbackburner (Shield that makes the Sniper unable to light on fire and take half damage from flame attacks)

Bill's Hat + Blutsauger = PILLS PILLS PILLS PILLS

Killing Gloves of Boxing + Fingerless Chicken Glove = Fingerless Glove of Chicken Killing

Jarate + Sandman = Jar-Batty

Axetinguisher + Ubersaw = Rock Hero the Guitar Band (A guitar as a melee weapon for the engineer. Can't upgrade or repair structures, but can play it to buff nearby teamates somehow)

I bet Valve screws up big time and only includes crap.

Crafting doesn't give you new items. It only gives you items that already exist.

So we get crafting in the next update.

And of course this happens the day after I cleared my inventory of duplicate weapons. Have to see if you can make anything from vast quantities of sandvith's and jarate.

Yeah, it isn't that long ago when I purged my whole inventory of all duplicates. I got annoyed of having to scroll to change to the weapon I want. Since then I've found 9 weapons, but It would've been a lot more fun to have 50 things to work on.

Crafting seems cool though and my "Yaaaay!" after every weapon I find will be a lot less ironic from this day onwards.

However you can craft the new unlocks for solly and demo before reaching the milestones.

Also, I wonder if hat-crafting is just changing hats to other hats or if combining 12 Jarates will give you a Master's Yellow Belt.

[Metalax]

The scrolling was why I got into the habit of periodically deleting them as well. But I believe that it was fixed in a recent patch to only show one item, which has multiple copies, while equipping.

So we get crafting in the next update.

When the hell are they going to reveal my new weapons? ;_;

I suspect they already have, in the secret page.  The secret page mentions items associated with the monkey that died horribly on the launch pad.  The items in the comic that were going to be delivered to the Administrator were the items left over from the failed monkey-launch.

Consider.  GIANT SWORD.  The Demoman is a Scotsman, and what would a Scotsman be without his Claymore?  The picture could be a Claymore.  And Claymore originally meant "GIANT SWORD" in Gaelic.  So, uh...case closed, in my book.  Then again I never thought Jarate would make it into the game.

The pickaxe...well, the soldier already gets a shovel, which is also a digging tool.  Meh, it's not the strongest proof in the world.

The bugle:  Lets you "launch another monkey into space".  Well, currently there's no way to rocketjump/grenadejump your allies.  I can imagine that being able to push your teammates around would be a griefer's paradise.  But it would also be a pretty awesome tool, to be able to blast a friendly sniper up to a secluded ledge.  Or launch a friendly engineer to a place that even creative teleporting can't get him.  I could imagine either character, maybe more likely the soldier, getting a new primary weapon nicknamed "the bugle".

Okay, so only the GIANT SWORD really makes sense.  But at this point I would be surprised if the Demoman didn't get the GIANT SWORD.  Would it replace the bottle, giving him a slow but immensely powerful weapon?  Would it replace the sticky launcher, giving him power at the expense of versatility?  Or could it grant him speed instead of extra melee power, because if there's one thing you imagine when you think of Scotsmen, it's kilt-clad men charging downhill at you?

[Duke 2.0]

 Considering the last object is a very patriotic commemorative plate with an explosion on it, I'm thinking the Demoman will get the bugle and the soldier will get whatever the plate is.
 Then again...

[Sowelu]

Oh my god.

I can TOTALLY imagine that as a real, actual Valve update.

That shows how awesome both the artist AND Valve are.

[Pandarsenic]

Oh lord.

A bugle that lets you call in MONKEY-BASED AIR STRIKES.

WANT.

[Myroc]

Also: There's a kind of explosive called "Claymore", i believe.

[Osmosis Jones]

Regarding the solly melee weapon, take a look on the crafting page. There's a picture of a trenching shovel. Since regular weapons don't show up in your backpack, Im thinking that might be a new weapon.

[Sowelu]

Oooh!  Sneaky find!

As for the claymore mines / claymore sword, yeah, it's a pun that could go either way.  On one hand you have a simple mine that is in-theme, with a name that's kind of a pun on his being a scotsman.  On the other hand, it's a SWORD, how much sense does that make in this game?  My vote is still for the sword.

[Greiger]

Well the claymore claims to be American.
