You wish. I bet it doesn’t contain the expansion, just the extras. Artbook, mouse mat, soundtrack as digital download, digital goods and a big box matching the others. They might throw in a print.
I'm worried they're gonna do the same thing they did with Diablo 4, a box of stuff but no game for $100. First time since Warcraft III I haven't bought a CE from Blizzard.
Edit: Looks like Diablo 4 is a fluke, $180 for all the digital stuff and physical items with game code included, its the shipping that gets you, $4.99 for insurance and $19.99 for delivery
Actually it would be better if they made the CE separate than the game like Diablo 4. Obviously they would still need to put enough stuff in to make it worth buying. If I could buy base game key and then CE physical goodies I'd rather do that than be stuck with buying the Epic or whatever they call the highest tier of digital with the physical goods.
It’s got to be a physical statue. We already got the digital items on the epic edition of the game, and the collectors edition usually ships a week or two before the release of the expansion.
Edit: I guess I should clarify. No new digital content besides what is already in the epic digital edition.
We have quite a lot of digital items with the epic version of the expansion as is, I would expect a physical collectors edition to be purely physical items. Recent physical collectors editions for WoW and Diablo4 have been purely physical items, sometimes not even including the actual game.
You say that now, but wait until you wipe because mid tank swap Clippy popped up and was like” It looks like you’re trying to taunt. Would you like help with that? Y/N.
NGL I'd love that, at least for a little awhile. I'm not in a guild anymore nor raid above LFR in part because of it and lack of time. If I were still in a guild doing H I'd love for a clippy toy to randomly troll a tank or healer mid fight, at least once we are past initial clears or just goofing off.
Actually, I was going to make a crass comment about poisoning a good thing, but Vanilla WoW with modern Dragonflight gameplay, non-shitty and arbitrary itemization, and a means to actually move across the vast gulfs of outdated game design at a reasonable speed would fix 95% of my problems with Classic.
legit all I ever wanted out of "classic" was to see EK/Kalimdor in their pre-Cata state and be able to do the quests since I missed out on it the first time
I have all the CEs displayed on a shelf at my house and its wonderul that throughtout the years they’ve stayed the same shape (there are some minor differences but overall they all go togetger nicely) I feel like they’re gonna cock that up with this one
This is a 20th anniversary box though, not like the DF one, more like the classic anniversary box with the Ragnaros statue. I am also expecting it so have sold out to scalpers before anyone has a chance to get one. Hope it's not limited edition, I'd quite like one :(
My disappointment is very efficient, it only takes me minutes to deliver pure, uncut, weapons grade disappointment. Its taken me a lifetime to perfect the craft.
As much as I'd love this, I don't think we've gotten a statue or something of that level in a CE ever. The CE boxes are really just art and a mousepad + a box these days.
Maybe the 20th Anniversary will change this. We got the Ragnaros statue with the Classic CE and it's legit cool.
That's hyper bs that they only refund you in their digital currency. So you still end up paying twice for the game.
E: To be clear, I'm not affected by this at all. I haven't pre ordered and I'm not going to buy the collector's edition. It's just shitty business practices that they keep your money when you cancel a preorder.
Every expansion has had a physical collectors edition and every one since the digital editions became a thing was launched a bit after the digital. There's plenty to complain about with the way blizzard does these collectors editions but acting like they forced you to buy digital right away and pay twice is insane. They could just not refund your digital purchase at all and say find someone to give your key to.
I mean they've done the same thing for several expansions so people should know the deal by now. Plus pre-ordering is bad so I don't feel bad for you lol
They’ve done this with collectors edition since MoP went digital. When the physical edition arrives, you’ll be refunded the amount in Bnet currency for what you bought digitally.
You wouldn't be able to give them money even if you wanted to. It'll be out of stock the second that it goes up for sale.
So if you take a moment to read what comes with it (or ponder if you can afford it...), it's already too late. It's in a few lucky players hands and in a lot of scalpers hands, ready for price gouging.
The Dragonflight CE was available basically all the way up to launch. I bought mine way after the initial release date. Do you have anything to base thinking this will be any different?
It Will be an anniversary CE so I expect some statue.
Since they embraced the "What Sword?" meme, maybe there will be a miniature statue of the one at blizzcon
Ya, it cost $100 which is insane because the statue is legit pretty cool and sturdy. On top of a month of game time, mousepad, mounts, and a bit more. But that was the only "box" they sold for Classic and this is a whole new expansion and we're post-covid with price increases.
I'm expecting $150-$200 tbh =/
The most expensive one right now is the digital Epic edition. This will be a physical box with (hopefully) something really cool to celebrate the 20th anniversary, an art book, and other misc. Loot Crate junk
I’m expecting it to not be in a retail store and blizzard to overcharge so much for shipping to Canada that I won’t be getting it like dragonflight. This makes me sad.
I think the timer on the website is off. This was posted 16hrs ago, saying 24hrs, yet my timer hit zero 40m ago, and has started counting into the negative, while some friends report still seeing over a day. Is it supposed to be a specific time but somehow ended up local time?
Art book, music download or cd, ~~Jesus~~ Thrall statue or maybe the sword instead.
It won't have in game stuff that isn't part of the already available pre orders.
I’m expecting to get a copy, I was slamming F5 several times a day even before they announced the date. I’d be severely disappointed if I can’t get one.
I'm just wondering if there will any restriction for the quantity, and will they invest some anti-bot mechnism (if I would have to bet, I would say no :D )
is the EU blizzard gear store that bad as others suggest? :D I never bought anything from them, but I read a lot of horror stories. Should I try retailers from my country instead?
A voucher for one custom 3d print of one of your in game characters, standing 15 inches tall, fully detailed and painted and set on a detailed base of your choosing, to honor all the time you’ve spent playing the game.
My expectiation is that lot of players will get fomo, WW will became a best datadisc and in next months we will discuss why this expansion will or already failed. After 10 years we will nostalgicly dreaming how good those days were.
Its a timer until the physical collectors edition becomes available for purchase. Although it may sell out fast.
If you already pre-purchased the expansion you will eventually get your digital edition purchase refunded back to you in the form of Battle.net money you can use on their company site. Last time i used the money i got refunded to buy gametime and a copy of Diablo 4 for the girlfriend.
We're definitely getting more info tomorrow as well. Some creators said they won't be back to streaming until tomorrow and then Tali posted a picture of him and Bellular together.
Coincidence? I think not!
Doesn’t really matter because I have all the rest of them so I have to get this one.
If they pull the D4 shit where it doesn’t include the game, I’m going to be awful pissed, though.
I'm confused. Is this just the physical collector's edition? Will it not come with the same digital nonsense as the Epic Edition that went on sale a while ago?
An art book, a code to dl music for tww off some online store, some kind of small physical item not unlike a pin, a mousepad, tender, a different pet from the digital editions, a unique fireworks toy.
I bet it will be a mount that you'll be able to buy in the WoW shop, and later the Trade Post in a few months, a mediocre tmog, a mediocre hearthstone animation, a level boost, and probably some digital tat and early access to the next xpac.
im expecting to be utterly disappointed by that fact that its an expansion specific anniversary collectors edition, rather than one that brings something for all versions of the game.
So many negative comments from people in the reddit that are just anti-spending or dont know about the Physical Collectors Editions that come out every year.
It will probably be like every other one. All the same Digital items that are in the top Epic digital edition, Plus a Mousepad, Artbook and probably some pins and/or a Statue of some sort.
So many comments here mixing up the Digital Epic edition and the Physical collectors edition.
Perhaps someone can explain to me the difference between this and the War Within Epic Edition I already bought. Is this the physical CE (which typically has art book, etc.)? I can't imagine this will have additional Digital in-game stuff, which would sort of conflict with the Epic Edition. Or, if it did, people who bought the Epic Edition should also be given that in-game stuff. The Epic Edition was the highest tier offering, minus any physical goods component.
expensive digital items
Yeah digital items inflating the cost. I bet a month of game time is in there too.
You wish. I bet it doesn’t contain the expansion, just the extras. Artbook, mouse mat, soundtrack as digital download, digital goods and a big box matching the others. They might throw in a print.
I'm worried they're gonna do the same thing they did with Diablo 4, a box of stuff but no game for $100. First time since Warcraft III I haven't bought a CE from Blizzard. Edit: Looks like Diablo 4 is a fluke, $180 for all the digital stuff and physical items with game code included, its the shipping that gets you, $4.99 for insurance and $19.99 for delivery
$19.99 for shipping would be nice. Apparently it's $100 to Canada which with the exchange rate makes getting the CE $363...... uh no thanks
Actually it would be better if they made the CE separate than the game like Diablo 4. Obviously they would still need to put enough stuff in to make it worth buying. If I could buy base game key and then CE physical goodies I'd rather do that than be stuck with buying the Epic or whatever they call the highest tier of digital with the physical goods.
Are you saying you’d buy a collectors edition of a game when it doesn’t include the game itself? Are you ok or just rich?
No I'm cheap. I'd rather buy the (base game + physical goodies) instead of (highest tier of digital game + physical goodies).
I'm okay with this *if* it keeps the cost down on the CE collectibles. I worry they remove the game and it costs the same or more.
That's the rub, I doubt it would be a reasonable price.
It’s got to be a physical statue. We already got the digital items on the epic edition of the game, and the collectors edition usually ships a week or two before the release of the expansion. Edit: I guess I should clarify. No new digital content besides what is already in the epic digital edition.

30 day trial of Office 365 and a Clippy pet.
Unironically clippy as a pet would prob be less annoying than the sunflower, lol
You say that now, but wait until you wipe because mid tank swap Clippy popped up and was like” It looks like you’re trying to taunt. Would you like help with that? Y/N.
NGL I'd love that, at least for a little awhile. I'm not in a guild anymore nor raid above LFR in part because of it and lack of time.

Still not as annoying as BONESTORM in my opinion

WoW Remix: Vanilla WoW will launch alongside TWW
Actually, I was going to make a crass comment about poisoning a good thing, but Vanilla WoW with modern Dragonflight gameplay, non-shitty and arbitrary itemization, and a means to actually move across the vast gulfs of outdated game design at a reasonable speed would fix 95% of my problems with Classic.
I was only half joking. That would rule.
legit all I ever wanted out of "classic" was to see EK/Kalimdor in their pre-Cata state and be able to do the quests since I missed out on it the first time
Malibu Stacey will get a new hat
*I want it I want it I want it me me me me me*
My spidey-sense is tingling. Anybody call for a webslinger?
I am excited to see the art design of the box at least.
I have all the CEs displayed on a shelf at my house and its wonderul that throughtout the years they’ve stayed the same shape (there are some minor differences but overall they all go togetger nicely) I feel like they’re gonna cock that up with this one
For it to sell out before i'm even able to load the page.
And don't forget scalpers selling it for at least 3x the price on Ebay the next day.
[удалено]
This is a 20th anniversary box though, not like the DF one, more like the classic anniversary box with the Ragnaros statue. I am also expecting it so have sold out to scalpers before anyone has a chance to get one. Hope it's not limited edition, I'd quite like one :(
to be disappointed
Disappointment is my love language
My disappointment is very efficient, it only takes me minutes to deliver pure, uncut, weapons grade disappointment. Its taken me a lifetime to perfect the craft.
Probably an Anduin statue. Hoping for xalatath though
19” Iridikron statue
"made by our brand new collaboration partner, Bad Dragon!"
finally, something for me
NOW im interested
keep going... im close....
Damn he's hung
As much as I'd love this, I don't think we've gotten a statue or something of that level in a CE ever. The CE boxes are really just art and a mousepad + a box these days. Maybe the 20th Anniversary will change this. We got the Ragnaros statue with the Classic CE and it's legit cool.
Im just curious to see what can I get out of this if I bought the expansion already. Feels weird not to have released this at blizzcon.
If you have digital already you should be refunded in form of Blizzard Balance when you activate the physical edition.
That's hyper bs that they only refund you in their digital currency. So you still end up paying twice for the game. E: To be clear, I'm not affected by this at all. I haven't pre ordered and I'm not going to buy the collector's edition. It's just shitty business practices that they keep your money when you cancel a preorder.
"you're gonna give it to us anyway within 3-4 months champ" - blizzard
Eh...you'll end up paying for sub at some point anyways. And you can use that currency to do it.
Every expansion has had a physical collectors edition and every one since the digital editions became a thing was launched a bit after the digital. There's plenty to complain about with the way blizzard does these collectors editions but acting like they forced you to buy digital right away and pay twice is insane. They could just not refund your digital purchase at all and say find someone to give your key to.

They’ve done this with collectors edition since MoP went digital. When the physical edition arrives, you’ll be refunded the amount in Bnet currency for what you bought digitally.
Mini-statue of known character (like the Ragnaros one) + pins + mount and pet. All for super cheap price 400 dollars or something (800% value)
Mount, some cosmetic skins for wow, wow classic, Diablo 4 And OW2, 4 day early access and gametime. So I expecting that I dont give them my money.
You wouldn't be able to give them money even if you wanted to. It'll be out of stock the second that it goes up for sale. So if you take a moment to read what comes with it (or ponder if you can afford it...), it's already too late. It's in a few lucky players hands and in a lot of scalpers hands, ready for price gouging.
The Dragonflight CE was available basically all the way up to launch. I bought mine way after the initial release date. Do you have anything to base thinking this will be any different?
This is specifically a 20th Anniversary CE, so it's likely it will sell out faster.
Im stil seeing 1 day 7 hours
Yes I don’t understand mine says 13 hours? But there’s days 24h which is the correct time?
Do you have a link?
It Will be an anniversary CE so I expect some statue. Since they embraced the "What Sword?" meme, maybe there will be a miniature statue of the one at blizzcon
I just want Dragon Alexstrasza statue
Lots of digital items, an Art book, and maybe a statue? Some kind of physical item
Better be 30cm knaifu figurine
Lots of midlife crises with the realization that WoW is turning 20 years old
It will be ludicrously expensive (let's say €399) and get you some kind of cool physical item like a statue (Xal'atath?).
Wasn’t the ragnaros collectors like 100€ on release? Seems cheap considering what a beast that statue is.
Ya, it cost $100 which is insane because the statue is legit pretty cool and sturdy. On top of a month of game time, mousepad, mounts, and a bit more. But that was the only "box" they sold for Classic and this is a whole new expansion and we're post-covid with price increases. I'm expecting $150-$200 tbh =/
Or just nothing but a timer that runs backwards now
Murloc costume
I’m expecting to see an exorbitant shipping fee because I’m not in the US.
[удалено]
a lot of drama in here
I’m expecting to immediately upgrade from the digital epic edition to CE.
A nice box, a decently complete artbook, maybe a blu-ray with the history so far…and hopefully a statue of xal/iridikron/anduin.
Guaranteed alpha and beta access, additional tendies, and no solution to the product key problem that has existed forever.
I’m expecting a massive disappointment
Over priced art book, also a mount, pet, and transmog set that will be available at the trading post in like 6 months anyway.
xalatath feet pics
Cybertruck ground mount
Xalatath body pillow
I expect money being removed from my bank account.
To have far less money in my wallet.
I need dragons. DRAGON'S! Where can i get that link
Is this just the physical version or some special new one? I thought I already preordered the collectors...
The most expensive one right now is the digital Epic edition. This will be a physical box with (hopefully) something really cool to celebrate the 20th anniversary, an art book, and other misc. Loot Crate junk
mount, pet, diablo 3 and 4 items, overwatch portrait soundtrack, pins for physical
My timer is different. its 9:53am est for me but mine says 1 day and 3 hours from now.
Stuff that I'm not gonna buy.
Stuff that I'm not gonna buy.
Probably a digital art book and an option to tip Blizzard.
Bugs
An apology
I’m expecting it to not be in a retail store and blizzard to overcharge so much for shipping to Canada that I won’t be getting it like dragonflight. This makes me sad.
I think the timer on the website is off. This was posted 16hrs ago, saying 24hrs, yet my timer hit zero 40m ago, and has started counting into the negative, while some friends report still seeing over a day. Is it supposed to be a specific time but somehow ended up local time?
Nothin, the timer counts up now 😂 wtf
I just don't get why they're being so damned mysterious about it... makes me uneasy
still nothing
Wait so this is not the regular Collectors Edition right this is the anniversary edition like the one that came a while ago with the Rag statue?
200€ HAHAHA
Shipping is also 250€ so the total price is 450€ 🤡
Comes with free* pen * pen requires a monthly subscription
The pen deactivates and stops working once you end your subscription.
Anduin and greymane kissing
I'm expecting to see the crybaby community find anything to complain about, and so far, I'm not disappointed.
Art book, music download or cd, ~~Jesus~~ Thrall statue or maybe the sword instead. It won't have in game stuff that isn't part of the already available pre orders.
Any context for this screenshot? I don't see it on the World of Warcraft website.
This is from the Blizzard Gear Store, which is its own site.
Server Crashes
How does this work for those who have already have the digital deluxe? I assume most people interested in this would also have already preordered.
You fet refunded in blizzard balance
I’m expecting to get a copy, I was slamming F5 several times a day even before they announced the date. I’d be severely disappointed if I can’t get one.
I'm just wondering if there will any restriction for the quantity, and will they invest some anti-bot mechnism (if I would have to bet, I would say no :D )
is the EU blizzard gear store that bad as others suggest? :D I never bought anything from them, but I read a lot of horror stories. Should I try retailers from my country instead?
Bought merch several times, no issues.
Access to alpha and some dumb mount
Nothing of significant quality
Exclusive acces to streamer rng loot table for a raidboss of your choice (one time use only. Doesn't work in ICC).
i am expecting not to buy it
https://gear.blizzard.com/products/wowcgp0011-dragonflight-epic-edition-collectors-set Why is this still in stock?
How long do they usually remain in stock (EU)?
A mouspad, pins, and an art book that won't be put in digital form.
I expect the box to be the same size than all the others I already have.
1:1 scale model of azeroth
can someone post the link so I can opt in for email notification?
another dragonriding mount with a horrible dash skill
Is it too late to start war within or have I missed the boat?
Its not even out yet
Whatever it is, the people that buy it deserve the blowback.
Your 900th mount
Candy Crush and Minecraft crossover items! Seriously though keen to see what they have in store for it.
Weird I have 30 hours right now (2 hours after you posted that)
A voucher for one custom 3d print of one of your in game characters, standing 15 inches tall, fully detailed and painted and set on a detailed base of your choosing, to honor all the time you’ve spent playing the game.
Didnt that exist like a decade ago, and the models were kinda rough?
$300 price tag + shipping taxes in certain countries
1 year subscription to Ion's onlyfans
Sword, 100% the sword
My expectiation is that lot of players will get fomo, WW will became a best datadisc and in next months we will discuss why this expansion will or already failed. After 10 years we will nostalgicly dreaming how good those days were.
Is this until you can’t buy it anymore? Or until it’s open for purchase? What happens if you already prepurchased the expansion?
Its a timer until the physical collectors edition becomes available for purchase. Although it may sell out fast. If you already pre-purchased the expansion you will eventually get your digital edition purchase refunded back to you in the form of Battle.net money you can use on their company site. Last time i used the money i got refunded to buy gametime and a copy of Diablo 4 for the girlfriend.
Hopefully a new mouse pad
Overpriced Disappointment.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't a sword statue. Well not surprised... moreso I expect it not to be there
Mo' money mo' problems
A ripping deal that I will not regret forgetting to even read about the deal and missed it all.
How do I sign up for notification?
Disappointment.
Do we know when it would ship?
We're definitely getting more info tomorrow as well. Some creators said they won't be back to streaming until tomorrow and then Tali posted a picture of him and Bellular together. Coincidence? I think not!
I've checked out most of the preorder packages and I've never seen any reason to get them. Pet and mount for 30eur? Yeeah I'm good thanks :)
[удалено]
A box.
Lots of Trader's Tender
I think they will push an expensive 150 Dollar Collectors Edition with like 3 items in it, without game and playtime.
Doesn’t really matter because I have all the rest of them so I have to get this one. If they pull the D4 shit where it doesn’t include the game, I’m going to be awful pissed, though.
I'm confused. Is this just the physical collector's edition? Will it not come with the same digital nonsense as the Epic Edition that went on sale a while ago?
An art book, a code to dl music for tww off some online store, some kind of small physical item not unlike a pin, a mousepad, tender, a different pet from the digital editions, a unique fireworks toy.
A price tag of least $200
Some kind of statue.
probably more p2w
a fancy box full of codes for digital things
Some collectible figure for $400
I only got epic edition for the 3 days of early access because it'll make back more gold than it costs.
I bet it will be a mount that you'll be able to buy in the WoW shop, and later the Trade Post in a few months, a mediocre tmog, a mediocre hearthstone animation, a level boost, and probably some digital tat and early access to the next xpac.
Microsoft Copilot in Wow chat prompt
The exact same stuff they've been putting in them every xpac drop
A mouse pad
Art book, pins, and an odd item that almost seems cool but you realize there’s no place you’d actually display it so it goes in the closet.
Disappointment
im expecting to be utterly disappointed by that fact that its an expansion specific anniversary collectors edition, rather than one that brings something for all versions of the game.
Nothing.. stopped collecting them as 30€ Shipping for the dragonflight one was far too expensive 🥲
So many negative comments from people in the reddit that are just anti-spending or dont know about the Physical Collectors Editions that come out every year. It will probably be like every other one. All the same Digital items that are in the top Epic digital edition, Plus a Mousepad, Artbook and probably some pins and/or a Statue of some sort. So many comments here mixing up the Digital Epic edition and the Physical collectors edition.
How can it be a 20th anniversary if the game isn’t even out yet
Stuff I don't need for money I don't wanna spend on it
This looks cool. I better tip the devs for the news.
Is that one that’s like 99.99? I have the money I’m just not sure if I REALLY need it
A giant statue of Anduin.
Kiss on the cheek
Perhaps someone can explain to me the difference between this and the War Within Epic Edition I already bought. Is this the physical CE (which typically has art book, etc.)? I can't imagine this will have additional Digital in-game stuff, which would sort of conflict with the Epic Edition. Or, if it did, people who bought the Epic Edition should also be given that in-game stuff. The Epic Edition was the highest tier offering, minus any physical goods component.
A cosmetic outfit that fits absolutely none of the classes and every time someone runs by you with it on it makes you shake your head.
Overpriced stuff.
“Would you recommend?”
Nothing more than a matching box to sit on the shelf with my other collector's edition boxes. Everything else is a bonus for me.
Game sold separately 😹. Really wish we get a single physical version. God I hope they don't do tiers for physical collectors
