Get the Alabaster Mounts in the Shop
If you can’t wait until October to get your hands on the new Alabaster Stormtalon or Alabastor Thunderwing, don’t worry. We’ll be introducing these mounts to the Blizzard Shop and in-game shop as a standalone bundle in August. Players who purchase these mounts this way and also attach a 15th Anniversary Collector’s Edition to their World of Warcraft account by March 31, 2020 will receive a $25 credit to their Blizzard Balance.
World of Warcraft 15th Anniversary In-Game Celebration
The celebration is just getting started; check back on the World of Warcraft site as we get closer to the anniversary to learn more about the in-game rewards and events we have planned.
*These mounts are unavailable for use in World of Warcraft Classic.
Yeah and they are basically using this announcement to completely obfuscate the fact that they are adding even more store mounts less than a month after adding one.

Oh I didn't realize. I thought it was only the baby panda and the others came with the other games. That's my bad for sure.
The worst part is they look like Beta mounts.
Could have made them Crystal for 15 years of WoW.

Of course they would announce this money grab along with the Classic launch... gotta admit their marketing strategies are good. A lot of people will compensate their classic hype by buying this smokescreen.
O wow. . . . flying mounts you will get to use for a few days per expansion!!!
LoL Blizzard /facepalm. . . . .
Your hyperbole is ridiculous. First, you can use any mount, flying or not, at any time. Whether they fly or not is the next point, and is usually half the expansion (and you can still fly in all previous content as well).
Let's be honest here, this is all about the statue and a "celebration" of WoW Classic's launch. None of the other CEs have come with a 10 inch statue like that. If you're buying this, it's for Ragnaros. A 10 inch statue of that scale would often retail for much more than $100. It's not a bad deal.
The real funny thing is that you won't be able to use those mounts in Classic.
GROSS! We waited 15 years, for some recolors of 2 mounts that are already in the game? Like you guys easily could've come up with something much more epic.... A huge party zepplin comes to mind, that would be a cool mount. Or just anything really, rather than some uncolored "recolors" of some mounts already in game.
If you seriously waited 15 years for that, there may be something wrong with you O.o.
But yeah the mounts could of been a bit more special. They tried to channel something very classic, which I understand. I wouldn't be surprised if the main point of it is the statue and everything else is just stuff they decided to throw in there really quickly.

In August, there will be threads with people saying how Blizzard lied to them and tricked them into buying the Collectors Edition and how they aren't exclusive... just like they did with the boat.
Course they will be adding those mounts to the Blizzard shop.
Jesus Christ this is getting out of hand now.
As for the CE. Far too expensive. But of course I guess ActiBlizz had to get their money grabbing ways in somehow on WoW Classic.
Yeah, in case you want them and don’t want the anniversary edition. There’s also the fact if you purchase them early and then by the anniversary edition later you will get credited for your purchase.
I really love the special people here who are all about capitalism... But when it comes to the consumer side of capitalism, you know where customers complain about things, they want everyone to just stfu.
Okay how about blizzard shuts the fuck up about their bullshit and takes it off the launcher? Oh, they have a right to have it there? Great, then I still have my right to complain however I see fit.
That literally has nothing to do with what I was saying but ok.
Yeah you get credited with digital currency that you can only use on digital goods within their store, when you paid them with an actual currency with real value.
Woooo.
Which you can then use to save actual currency as you know you have to sub to play classic.

Woooo.
And? You still spend money on something in game. Would you rather buy mounts, then decide later you’d like the anniversary edition also just to go “oh well, money I don’t get to use on anything else now?”
People really do find any reason to complain these days.
