Quote from BlizzardIn the year of the Mammoth, you embarked on many memorable quests! You explored steamy jungles in search of primordial mysteries in Journey to Un’goro. You embraced the deadly power of the Lich King in Knights of the Frozen Throne. You delved deep into trap-infested tunnels to loot incredible treasures in Kobolds & Catacombs. Now, one last legendary quest remains in the Year of the Mammoth, and the rewards are beyond your wildest dreams!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Blizzard please, Brazil need a buff.
Oh hey Australia isn't on the list of eligible countries. Thanks Blizzard.....
Once again, it's not really Blizzards' decision: AU probably has some laws that would make a giveaway there really hard to do/maybe even impossible, so they just won't do it. Can't blame them.
Actually I can I live here and know there are no laws preventing a give away. The exclusion is due to the first prize and postage costs most likely as it would have to travel half way across the planet if someone here won that is nothing to do with law. The statues in the Blizzard store cost almost $100 postage assuming the helmet is close to the weight or size the postage is exorbitant.
Really, you think it's because of $100 shipping? They would annoy everyone who plays in Australia, to save $100 on shipping?
Think it through mate. There are real reasons - though they'd be solvable if they put in the effort, but it's not "better exclude Australia over $100".

Let me clarify better their rules state the winner has to pay the taxes or fees for receiving the reward that isn't enforceable in Australia meaning that they could have to pay it here. They would rather not deal with it they could have very easily just made the first prize ineligible for some regions for that reason but instead opted to exclude entirely which I can blame Blizzard for .
No, no, no, blizzard, please... Players who have over 90% of non-golden collection just shouldn't be able to participate...
Question, how do you register for the givaway?
between 01/02 and 14/02 log in and complete quests beeing part the elegible countries
Very exciting! Winning that many packs *_* So much dust~
Winning for me would suck. Having everything would probably kill my desire to play actively. What's the point?
That's too many packs, they should done it down to 300 and give to 10 players instead of one. I don't know just seems like a stupid idea to give someone that many packs.
i actually would like to win that amount of packs, i don't see nothing wrong making a giveaway like this, well except for the country restriction but, come on, a lot of dust and always play deck that you want, i see it like a dream
I would love to win all these! Play any deck you want, all the time...sounds like Hearthstone paradise to me
"ALL FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL TAXES AND CUSTOMS DUTIES ASSOCIATED
WITH THE RECEIPT OR USE OF ANY PRIZES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNER"
taken from the rules of the blue post, so apparently if u win you will have to pay like 1000 bucks in taxes or forfeit the prize... so im no sure if i wanna win
hs is not free... I had to spend 1.5k $ over a period of one year to get to play any deck...
I tot agree that first prize is overkill... just give 10 players 300 packs... that's d amount you need from one set to open EVERY card... and I think that those players would be good for next set or two to play ANY deck too... even being f2p...
even giving one player 1k packs and merchandise.... and d remaining 2k packs to 10 accounts (200 packs each) is better imo... :)
Holy shit that's a lot of dust! And talk about first-world problems; opening that many packs is going to lead to carpal tunnel - better outsource that task!
3000 pack for a minimum 40 dust each pack , this mean 120 k dust minimum , omg
