Update: Mal’ganis and Kael’thas have been temporarily removed from the shop because of “wrong description”… I’m not sure what they mean by that, but I hope they are added back soon.
Update #2: They are back in the shop now.
Another shop update dropped today! Patch 30.4 was just released, and like most of the major patches, it also came with a big shop refresh. You can now buy the new mini-set (in normal and golden versions), either for Gold or real money. We have some new skins (including the first Mythic Skin – Ragnaros the Firelord) and a bunch of returning ones. Three new Signature bundles are available, including the brand new Signature versions of Raza the Chained and Barnes. And finally, we have some basic Standard bundles and Tavern Ticket bundles refresh (if you bought them previously, you can buy them again now). Anyway, here are all of the new items that are available this week:

Tier 1 skins are “premium” ones while Tier 2 are more basic. In general, Tier 1 skins tend to include more extra features like completely new emotes, Hero Power animations, unique Hero tray, or some extra visual effects. Some of those might also be included in Tier 2 skins, but usually only 1 of those special features is present (if any). It’s not an official classification – it’s just something we use to differentiate between more basic and premium skins! Blizzard has a few categories of their own for the more expensive skins (Diamond, Legendary, Mythic), but they don’t differentiate between the regular skins.
60 bucks for Ragnaros… I mean, it looks cool and all (albeit not as cool as C’Thun) but… 60 BUCKS!
I agree, I would never spend so much money on a single cosmetic item.
But then again, if they keep adding more F2P stuff to the game, I don’t mind. If those expensive cosmetics will keep the game going, that’s fine.
The problem starts when they do those expensive, whale cosmetics and pay less attention to the majority of their playerbase at the same time (like, you know, getting rid of free game boards).
