That's what they do in Overwatch with seasonal skins. I know they want the hero skins to feel "special" but do they have to be so special that you never have a chance to get them again? It's frustrating to me because I'm a completionist and I have pretty much everything I can get in Hearthstone except these locked heroes. I really wish I could play Mech Paladin with Sir Annoy-o or Priest with Tyrande. What is the hold up? They get asked about it every Q & A and just say they're "really interested" in letting us buy them again or some BS. If only I had a penny for everything they're "interested in".
Overwatch does it right. If you miss out you have to wait a year, but then you get another chance. A year is a long time. Plenty of time. I really wish they would change their policy about this. Anyone who is at all inclined to take these limited-time hero bundles is going to buy them rather than wait a whole year just so they can get the hero by itself without discounted packs. Letting people get them a year later would not reduce sales at all.
What is the value in things being "one time only" offers? How does it benefit anyone?
They said they "want to" make them available or something like that, and I think she was only referring to Tyrande. They came out like 4 years ago or something right? So I have to wait 4 years for Sir Annoy-o??

Problem is, everyone who went out of their way to get the "limited time only" skins originally would throw a shitfit... The benefit is, next time they have a "limited time only" promotion, the public will take them seriously. As soon as people start thinking, "Meh, I'll just get it the next time they offer it", then the promotions lose relevance. I don't have either of those skins, but I did go out of my way for a couple others, and if I had been around since the beginning, or if I did anything special to earn a skin, and wore it with pride, I'd be kinda pissed if a year later every asshat could get it... It's like wearing a Boston Marathon Participation t-shirt that you bought at a thrift store.
it's stupid to not let us have maiev and tyrande if we did not play back then. they could just put them in the store for 10$, i am not asking them for free

You meant Khadgar of course. He is the only hero I am missing.
I payed 80€ to have a Hero Portrait in this last expansion. If Blizzard offers this for free i will never Pre-Purchase anything, and i believe most of the people that also bought it has the same opinion. On other words, if blizzar does that, they will loose a lot of money and thats the oposite of what they want :p
They said Tyrande and Khadgar will be available before the end of this year.
for real, to buy or another limited promo? thanks man. that's awesome.
these are the only ones I think they sould re-issue anyway as they were gotten by means outside of HS (Khadgar was only for iOS users, and Tyrande was a Twitch prime drop)
I'm not sure about sir annoy as I completely missed that.
The ones that were pre order bonuses or obtained in game somehow should be left alone, like the card backs.
I think ones gained from outside are fair game though.
And Ofc you can still get Liadrin for free from WoW as well (and she's the best Paladin hero skin anyway IMO, especially with the Light forged card back we got a little while back, proper matches)
... and the card back from HOTS (although I could not be bothered to get that, I hate MOBAS)
Wow you are some petty people. You don't want anyone to ever be able to have that skin again so that you can feel like you have something special. Yeah you payed €80 for Mechajaraxxus. You also got 80 packs with that.
A year is a long time to wait. Ok, yes if someone knows the skin will come back in a year, and they don't really want to get it or they feel they can't afford it, then they'll just say I'll wait for a year, but no one who has any real interest in it is going to say "Meh. I'll wait a year."
Exclusives should stay exclusive in my opinion. It is a reward for people that cared back then.
Right because people who live in countries that didn't have twitch prime back then are assholes who didn't care about Tyrande anyway. Screw them, right?

Actually, I live in a country where it was not available, yet I got it for free (you registered an american adress in amazon and started a free trial).

Exactly. I prepurchased and got Mecha-Jaraxxus. If Blizzard start to make these skins available again, I will not commit to such a big prepurchase.

S.U.C.K.S.
They also said Tyrande would be aviable in 2018, she wasn't. Don't believe what they say in these Q&As.
Careful what you wish for, or we might end up with 15 different in-game currencies like they have in HoTS.

This is my opinion.
i am not talking about the pre release ones: you could get maiev only playing back in 2017, not by paying or buying anything
