Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack Update
|
| “ | When WETA Workshop first approached us with the idea of partnering some of their IP with ours, we couldn't believe our luck. These were the guys who made In The Name of the King, after all, and since that movie stars Burt Reynolds, there was a pretty good chance they'd introduce us to him. Eager to raise that chance to 100%, we sent them over a contract demanding they produce Burt Reynolds at any partnership meetings.
Their lawyers told us they'd actually made some different movies about kings: Return of the King and King Kong, neither of which feature Burt Reynolds in even a minor role.

Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack was a pack of Soldier items released on July 20, 2011 Patch. It was created in collaboration between Weta Workshop and Valve, and is based on Dr. Grordbort's Infallible Aether Oscillators.
As with most packs, the items are available via drop, craft, and purchase. Anyone who purchases the pack through the Mann Co. Store receives Dr. Grordbort's Crest. In addition, those who visited the Weta stand on the corner of the Dark Horse booth at San Diego Comic Con 2011 were able to obtain a promo code for a free Genuine quality Righteous Bison.[1]

Trivia
- The items went missing from Dr. Grordbort's shipment as reported in his missing shipment manifest. The rocket seems to have come from an alternate universe via irregularities in the space time fabric somewhere north of Earth[2] in the year 1911.[1]
