£40 with delivery for the UK.

These promos are getting out of hand. Put the pets on the ingame shop and I have no issue buying them but I can't keep buying from the gear store.

And now it's Sold Out.
Glad I jumped for my wallet as soon as I saw it this time... but enough is enough already.

I might have been tempted to purchase this, but apparently there were only 150 available in the UK store and they sold out before I'd even become aware they were available.

All these promotions feel to me like a company trying to milk every last penny from their player base while they still can. It's cynical, greedy behaviour which, if these promotions are successful, will only increase over time. I think I may be done with pet collecting.

I don't understand limited edition things like this. Surely they would have made a fortune by selling more.

Echo the disappointment in thinking that a *store pet* would be easily available several days after the anouncement. Can anyone comment on how long it took the other plushies' codes to get to the online shop?

I couldn't have guessed this would sell out so quickly, particularly when the ice murloc toys are still apparently well-stocked. Completely ridiculous in my opinion. Thanks to my friend Aurnhaden for the heads up or I would have been out of luck.

It seems very unfair that so many people didn't get this pet simply because they didn't happen to hear of this promotion in the 5 days or so it was available. Creating such a limited supply without any warning seems designed to create disappointed collectors.

I'm a little bothered by this... They better have more stock soon.

It never did. Blizzard historically doesn't put pets from purchases like this on the Battle.net store. The only pet from a promotion like this that has ever been made available a second time with a different method is Warbot, which can be purchased in game now.
