At a guess, the randomization of legendaries is not/was not correct, so some people were correctly allocated a ROS legendary and haven't been awarded it yet, whereas some people were incorrectly given a classic or non-collectible legendary, and were awarded it immediately.
If you get a classic legendary out of this, you'll get your RoS one eventually (which might take a round of manual intervention from Blizz after release) and you'll more than likely get to keep the classic one too, so happy days.
So, I log in just minutes ago to a pop-up informing me that I received a legendary from my bundle. As you can see, the legendary is from the Witchwood, and not Rise of Shadows, lol. Has anyone else experienced this?
Did you make the purchase of the pre-purchase the day it released and only just now log into Hearthstone for the first time since then? I ask this because everyone who made the purchase very early on had these "phantom" legendaries granted to them. Some were even bogus cards that only existed inside of the Solo Rumble content, such as the Darius Crowly hero card. These cards were even playable on ladder for a short while. However, if you just made the purchase and this is still happening....
Yes, I purchased the bundle the day it released (US Servers), but I have logged on multiple times each day since then. I didn't get the strange phantom legendaries some other people did, though, and only received this random legendary last night. I kinda hope I get to keep the free legendary, haha, but I sort of doubt it.

I guess no one else paid attention to my post. The main point was that if you made the pre-purchase early the first day then this is what happened to everyone. If it was purchased recently then obviously Blizz didn't fix the problem yet. As for your cards, I'm pretty sure if you weren't granted the fake cards then you probably get to keep your legendary. Looks like being an eager beaver has paid dividends for you.

That was my next question.
Do you guys get to keep the card?

Ironic. It could recycle others, but not itself.
Well, I posted the bug to the official Hearthstone forum, and I still have the card almost a full day later. Maybe they'll let us keep them.

Nice bait by blizz, pogchamp
Help me. I'm envy and not willing to try it for myself if it's still working (thinking seriously about not buying the pre release bundle this time).
Just uninstall and reinstall the game, problem solved.
