The mount is part of the new TBC "collector's edition"

During the initial interviews blizzard was asked if they were doing any sort of collectors edition for TBC and they replied that yes they would have “promotional content” for launch. The implication was that it would be a one time thing seeing as people cannot get the original collectors edition stuff anymore.

The fact that this mount is a surprise to any of you is astounding. What did you expect this “promotional content” would be?

Original TBC had a collectors edition. You paid extra for the game and got a bunch of stuff (like a map of outlands mouse pad). Companies do not offer RL items anymore, it’s all virtual. But collectors editions have been around since long before original TBC launch and it’s not ridiculous, unfair, or greedy for them to offer one for TBC classic.

Especially when THEY SAID THEY WERE DOING IT.

The TBC classic collectors edition will likely contain a mount, a vanity pet, and some random fun item. (Like something from the TCG back in the day).

They are not adding a permanent store nor monthly new mounts to TBC classic. They are adding a one-time promotion as they did back in the day.

It could also be the exact thing you think it won’t be.

I honestly didn’t realize Blizzard said they would do that.

I just saw they data mined a TBC DeLuca Edition.

I would definitely cop that.

How can you tell which is his rear? Both sides have the same amount of hair and the same noises coming out.

I honestly didn’t but 100% acknowledge that I cannot prove it and the timing is really suspect.

Personally, i’m laughing my *** off at the coincidence. And am disappointed i was wrong about the vanity pet. Looks like a mount and two toys.

pets are useless in tbc. they can’t battle each other or anything.

I’d take a pet duck.

but would you BATTLE a duck?

I’m surprised too.

Toys weren’t really much of a thing until later expansions I thought.

The earliest toy I can remember having is the Tonka tank and that was in Wrath I think.

did old dala have dude that sold all the toys or was that in legion dala? i can’t even remember at this point. lol

People need to stop equating Wowhead to announcing anything. especially after what happened last night with the Official Beta Launch. Whatever you get from wowhead Data Mine is not announced until Blizzard runs a presser.
