I ordered 3 more after watching Evan's YouTube videos. I'm going to actually record an unboxing when I get mine (hopefully early next week). I usually save up for the Rifter special in January so I don't think Ill get anymore.

That was a very very nice haul from 3 boxes. I was not sure if I wanted to order a second until I got my first one. I was extremely stoked when I saw I got almost the complete Robotech collection. Lost my collection due to flooding. Hoping can get all the Nightbane books this time.

I am always unsure if it is better to order them one at a time or bundle them at one time. I think if you order them piecemeal you have a better chance of getting your "top" items more.

I had all the Robotech items at the top of my list. Figured will try the same technique. Considering I am starting completely over, I will be happy with anything.

I just ordered mine... I realized that international shipping may reduce the actual value of this product for me. As cost after shipping is closer to $140 after shipping to Canada and currency exchange. Looking forward to seeing what I get for value. Everyone spoke so highly of the product this year I decided to give it a try to see what I end up with.

I got a lovely surprise package form My GF (with help form Hendrik and a long email to Kevin).

As such it was very personalised (typical Kevin/Palladium trait).

I got copies of the rifters that my bro was in recently.
I got two maps: Palladium world (known to be my fav game) and Rifts England (my homeland and next Rifts campaign setting as I expand the books contents)
Plus I got the hardback edition PRINTER PROOF (no number) of Secrets of the Atlanteans (and as such a reference book, hardbacks are great!) with a personalised message from Kevin to "Herbie" (me) - very special. :-D

So Ty to my GF, to Hendrik (proving friendship crosses seas), to my Bro (Soldier of Od on here) and ofc to Kevin & the Palladium Crew Family for keeping our imaginations burning bright during every season.
Rifter 52 Cannibal Magic
Rifter 55 The Ancestral Mystic P.C.C.
Rifter 59 The Lopanic Games adventure "The Lion, the Ditch & the Warlock". Illustrations to this adventure can be found here.
Rifter 71 & 72 Double Issue Ninjas & Superspies adventure "On a Wing & a Prayer"
Rifter 80 Masters Unlimited

mine is going to be a bit.. my grandmother tried to order me one, but due to a mixup, she'd ordered the wrong thing in a way that prevented delivery, managing to confuse pretty much everyone involved in the process. we got it all resolved yesterday, so hopefully it'll be here in a week or two.

Wow... six grab-bags. :shock:

You don't do things half-way, do you? When you're in, you're ALL IN.

Make sure to bring Dark Designs to the Open House and I'll add my signature to the bunch.

I wish I had done 6 grab bags. I did 3, trying to convince the wife to let do a 4th.

Sadly I wont end up going to Open House, my wife will be in her 7th month of pregnancy at that time. Found out she was pregnant right before I was going to book everything for it. Hopefully if we get another Open House in the next few years, I will make sure I bring Dark Designs.
