A plush version of this pet is available for purchase from the Blizzard Store. Players who purchase the plush will receive a code for the in-game pet. This code may be redeemed on a single WoW account. Thus, players who have more than one WoW account bound to their Battle.net accounts must choose which account will receive this pet.
Note: The pet codes are region-specific, so be sure to order for your region. (Plushes ordered from the US store cannot be redeemed on EU servers.)
The EU Blizzard store no longer sells this plush toy. It's unknown if it will be available again in the future.

During any epic battle, I like to summon a random companion for luck. But the Wind Rider Cub brought the opposite. The "incident" happened when I participated in a faction-wide raid. As we rode into Orgrimmar, I shouted, "For the Alliance!" and out popped my Wind Rider Cub. Voice chat went dead. Everyone froze. Dozens of dwarves, humans, and night elves stared at me with mouths agape. Next thing I know, I'm kicked from the raid. I guess they were just jealous that they didn't have this cutey.
This is most unfair! The stuffed animal with bonus cost 25£ and they dont even have it in stock :-(((
This pet and the alliance version are now no longer available to EU customers from the pet store. Only versions for the US are still available :(
So unfair; a dead-ringer for the Alliance one can be caught wild, why not this one? :(
SO cute! My Orc has him out all the time, named him Rowdy. As a bonus had an adorable plushie to give to my little niece this year! Gotta indoctrinate them early or they grow up to be Alliance. ;)
Love the look of this guy, but really wish there was some way to buy only the in-game pet. I have literally zero use for a stuffed toy animal, and can't really justify £22 just for the digital version. :(
The Wind Rider Cub was my main pet in my party for most of the time I've been collecting, and either the first or second pet of mine to reach 25. I love it so much because how cute, in my opinion, it is, and its abilities are pretty good. Lift off is the only ability I'm not fond of using even against water pets because of its inaccuracy.
I finally got him when they were restocked. The plush is so cute and his little roars in game are adorable. Worth every penny!
This is the cutest pet in the game right now easily.
I find it funny how people have a problem that it comes with a plush toy.
Oh noes I can't buy a plush toy my masculinity might be in jeopardy!!!!!!

Seems as if many people have had this problem just as I am right now...
I shall obtain you yet my little friends!
Hands down, the Wind Rider cub is probably one of these most adorable pets you could ever own, and he brings a lot of attention to those who don't yet have their own!
---Edit----
Alright so I ended up getting this after the restock. Blizzard has told me that they will restock on these types of pets every 1-2 months give and take. So if you miss out just wait it out better then paying the over price
Saw it yesterday from a guy on bronzebeard who has 112 pets!!!
Saw spec tiger mount AND then this beauty running and flying around!)...One day i hope to have as many pets as him i only have 44 :(
Hopefully from now on, everyone will see Buster whenever they look at their wind rider cub. I know I do.
I was leveling in Feralas with my Wind Rider Cub out. As I dismount to fight a mob, it suddenly flies off into the distance. It just kept going until it flew far enough to despawn itself. It wasn't laggy or anything, and the Wind Rider Cub circled upwards like a taxi Wind Rider does. It seemed to be flying towards Thousand Needles...
