    I get the theme but Ragnaros being gold just looks a little too gaudy for me. They should've made him his actual colors - and it's a little overpriced considering what you get.

    Your values are (quite a bit) off, and they're not class mounts.

    Does anybody whos pre ordered already, know if you have had the funds removed right away or is it like any other type of typical pre order when its processed on shipment?

    Uh... pass? Collector's edition without a game? Not for me, it's essentially anniversary knick-knacks. Even the mounts aren't enticing. Color-less gryphon and wyvern. lol They should have timed some expansion release with this.

    Maybe they'll re-do Onyxia's Lair again for level 120 in-game at least.

    Would've been a cool idea to bring back some of the pets that were only available with the original classic WoW's CE.

    At first I didn't like the color scheme of the statue but I got the blizzcon stein with the virutal ticket and it will be a nice "display" of the gold/black/silver stein and the rag statue.
    Oh.. then ya I agree 99$ is too expensive for this. The fact that so many people bought it just shows that a good amount of people don't have good money management skills.

    The statue is amazing, i wouldn’t order something like this but it is flat out amazing

    not a fan of the golden tint of the rag statue ... would have considered buying otherwise.

    or ... you know ... enough disposable income.

    At least the Deathwing-like mount is intriguing. I personally don't care for the "meh" attempt at the Ragnaros statue.
  1. Surfd's Avatar
    So wait. It doesn't actually come with a game? Like, you don't get BfA or any version of the game with this? Just 30 days of game time? WTF.....

    If 99 dollars is "expensive" or "too much" or something, perhaps you should just go to work or something. Normal person doesn't care about hundred dollars, it is as disposable as toilet paper. Really, this place reeks of poverty. Usually these folks who think 99 bucks is too much have no problem whatsoever in buying beer for twice that much during one week or are still driving fossil fueled cars. Wake up, it's 2019 not 1919.

    "a collectible 30$ max value"
    dude i dont think you know what the real world is like, but a 11 inch statue like that is far more then 30 fucking bucks, so is 10$ for a few top quality art prints.

    horrible looking ingame class mounts and a mount people will get from the event? what are you even talking about at this point dude

    99$
    2 wow mounts, lets say 25$ if they were on store
    that leaves 75$
    mousepad 10$
    65$
    pin 5$
    leaves 60$
    1 month wow time 15$
    that leaves 45$
    art prints a good 15$
    that leaves 30$
    that statue depending on the mateiral could be 50-80$
    so -20$ to -50$

    For the 15th aniversary they are making a custom raid were we will fight some of the "most iconic bosses of wow history" and at the end get a deathwing mount

    I did have the $240 to buy the collector's edition - but there is no way I could afford to not have a fossil fueled car ... not sure how you link one to the other

    im pretty sure the material is a specific colour and that is why, also i prefer the gold look, having an almost plastic looking painted statue... eh nah not for me.

    This is a Celebration box with toys, prints, gametime and 2 mounts
    This has nothing to do with classic, the only thing here that will effect classic is the 1 month sub time

The service costs like EUR 1.00 per kilo so it's really cheap and I have never had any issues with lost packages or anything.

    This will fit nicely in the Vanilla CE shaped gap alongside the other CE’s on my shelf.

There is no way to offer a digital download because it isn't a game. You can buy the mounts separately which is essentially the digital download as that is the only digital good it includes. This isn't a Classic CE version. It isn't even available until after Classic launches.
    Ah, gotcha. I just assumed it was the game included with it.

    yeah, I didn't realize the game wasn't being sold within the box. I just assumed it was the game with more CE collectables. I don't know if I will pick it up. The game is beyond boring right now and I've already played classic when it wasn't classic lol.

    says they dont send to Norway. In fact, I cant buy stuff on EU blizzard store either. I gotta order stuff from the US site and get charged for the extra costs of that.

    It sucks. I really want this statue and those orc & human grunts.
