I like that dragon and the pet.  As for WoW Classic I will probably not purchase it nor play it.  It's just not my cup of tea per say.  But those that are wanting this and this alone to play instead of current WoW I hope they do enjoy it once it is released.

Unknown at this point, but looks like it might be exclusive to their store, since pre-orders are already out of stock. Unless new copies are being made, this seems unlikely. 

Statue is pretty decent, but it seems overpriced (unless it's made of some quality material), even worse that there is (as usual) 1:1 currency conversion, so 99 dollars=99 euro... Alabaster mounts are pretty okay, nothing amazing. New anniversary in-game mount looks good, but no details yet how it's going to be obtained.

so the alabaster mounts are like stone,

But the video at the top of the page shows like Deathwing and a Minidrake pet.

Did I miss something ?

The alabaster mounts come with the Collector's Box (or the store).

The Deathwing mount and the pet are part of an in-game anniversary event. No further details have been disclosed so far.

Seems it might work like Core Hound for finishing LFR Molten Core. Kael has been mentioned, so perhaps there will be LFR Tempest Keep, maybe some other raid too, unsure though.

I think the big take away is:

I see, that means more are on the way, perhaps their own store had limits on amount of pre-orders.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere back when Classic was announced that it will be free to play for anyone with a currently active Main WoW Subscription, so you could try it to see if you like it, I didn't start wow until Wrath of the Lich King so I might check it out for the experience if able.

Yeah still not going to play :) but kudos to all that are going to play it though.
