Australia and the Burning Crusade Collector’s Edition.
Rumours are flying that Australia won’t get the Collector’s Edition. Or maybe there will only be 8,000 for the entire country. Or retailers only get one per 25 normal editions they order. Or one per 100. Blizzard don’t appear to have stepped up to the plate to give any details. Either way, two of my pre-orders just fell through with the following message:
We regret to inform you of the recent announcement that the official Collector’s Edition will not be locally released in Australia as anticipated. Every effort was made to confirm the release with the distributors before posting it on our site, however we have now been told that only a Bonus Edition that will be released locally.
And the third place I put my name down is fairly sure they won’t get any either. Grrr.
*sigh*
I guess we’ll have to check eBay when the expansion comes out. I wonder how many people got it just so they could resell it for $200+.
Ugh. That blows. I can’t even get one here in the States, everywhere is all out already. ::cry:: I really wanted one, too!
Hmm New Zealand still seems to be getting a few copies… I guess we will wait and see.
