While I'm not exactly thrilled about the price, collectors edition's for various games routinely exceed $100 or more. Now personally I think it should have come with a small Jailer statue instead of some pins to make it a little more "worth it".
A bargain at twice the price...
Great reading comprehension there, I only called a fraction of them sheep, the ones that think game companies aren't rolling in money.
Btw, I already acknowleged with the first part of the sentence that the whining about how awful the CE is, is pretty much also unfounded. If anything I think it's an upgrade over the BfA one. The Artbook looks fairly chunky as well - which is a good thing :P.

You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
Then let's talk about supply and demand: the Battle for Azeroth CE isn't the only WoW CE that hasn't sold out. Guess why? We can talk about BfA being a horrible expansion, the insane increase in price and reduction in content or maybe both, who knows. Usually all CEs sell out fairly quick after launch, it's not the case with the BfA one and the Shadowlands one won't sell out as well. Supply > demand in this case.

Just compare the Legion CE (79 Euro) to the Shadowlands CE (119 Euro).
Legion: 79 Euro / $79
Digital stuff:
Character boost
Mount
Pet
Skins for Starcraft, Diablo, Heroes of the Storm
Physical:
Behind the Scenes Blu-ray
Soundtrack CD
Artbook
Mousepad
Shadowlands: 119 Euro / $119
Digital:
Character boost
Mount
Pet
Transmogs
Heartstone animation
Game Time
Soundtrack
Physical:
Pins
Artbook
Mousepad
The only difference is the missing 30 day game time (13 Euro / $13) which brings it to 106 Euro vs. 79 Euro. Then the Shadowlands CE offers that hearthstone animation and the weapon enchantment, the Legion CE had wings for Diablo, a SC portrait and a HoTs mount. So, where is it worth the 27 Euro / $27 difference?

Let's talk in 6 months when the Shadowlands CE will still be available whereas Legion, WoD, MoP etc. had already sold out shortly after or even before launch.
They are worthless? Because you say so? Or just because it isn't WoW related? I'd say most of the digital stuff is worthless.

because all those three games are dead. Especially diablo and ESPECIALLY HotsThey are worthless? Because you say so? Or just because it isn't WoW related? I'd say most of the digital stuff is worthless.
1. Again, the Battle for Azeroth CE is already proof for this. Why would it be different for Shadowlands? The BfA CE is the first with the massively increased price tag which didn't sell out and is - to this day - available.
2. You have to remember that Legion launched 4 years ago where all of these games were much more alive than nowadays. But who cares, your subjective opinion is valid but mine isn't - got it.
Nevermind, enjoy your day.

So... still no word on what these selected retailers are? I so far only see it being sold from blizzard official store or amazon, neither of which is an option for me.
I'm no the one saying its overprized
Besides, even if its not completely sold out it could still be profitable for blizzard. Perhaps they figured out less people would buy them, but they people who would buy them wouldnt mind paying more.
The only valid feedback for this is that you think its too expensive for you, and that you would have gotten it if it was cheaper.
I mean I'd never pay that for a CE but if someone can justify it for themselves cool. I have the CE for Vanilla and the first two expansions, and never bought one again because I realized that I never once actually used the extras that came with them.
Errr ... Just because you don't like something it doesn't make it "dead." - I don't like HotS but it's not dead. The esports scene for it is dead, but you can login and find a match almost instantly still. Diablo 3 is DEFINITELY not dead, every single season the game is full for a month or so.
