Another shop update dropped today! Patch 29.4 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 also have some new skins (including a really cool Arfus Death Knight skin) and a bunch of returning ones. Even Battlegrounds got some new cosmetics. 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, and some extra visual effects. Some of those might be also 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 added their own “rarities” for Battlegrounds skins, but they haven’t done it so far for Constructed (the only one is Legendary with 3D animated portraits).
New items usually stay in the shop for around 1-2 weeks – sometimes it’s longer (3 or more weeks) but I wouldn’t universally count on that, so if you’re interested in one of them, get them soon.
At least we get 2 legends again with the 20packs bundles.
Last time they offered only one, and I declined
A new/free Thunder King skin is also available from the in-game event starting next week.
In addition, Rabbit Faelin and Squirrel Alleria are also new constructed skins (though purchase seems to start next week).
Yeah, I’ve seen them, but I’m only posting what’s currently available in the shop in those updates 🙂
