Anyone else doing this or am I just nuts? Looks like GameStop online has em but a store manager told me they wont have the collectors edition actually in-store. Anyone know where I can order more than 2?

You're just nuts...why buy 5 of them? Everything that comes with them for the most part is only useful to have one of, unless you REALLY want all 5 of your accounts to have the frostwyrm companion, but is it really worth $150 to get 5 goofy companions that no one really cares that you have? Get 1 collector and 4 regular IMO.

good luck getting all of them. For TBC I had 5 accounts (2 for me 3 for fam) and tried to order 5 from three places. All got turned into 1. Until Blizzard sold them in their blizzard store. Then i got 5 and couldn't cancel and I ended up with 8.

$69.99 x 5 = $349.99

The first week of TBC, CEs were going for $150 each, sometimes more.

$150 x 4 = $600 (keep 1 CE for main)
$39.99 x 4 = $159.96 (new, regular xpacs)
-$349.99 (we bought the CEs) + $600 (for what we made on eBay) - $159.96 (for the normal xpacs) = $90

All xpacs free with monies to spare!!!

As I just started multibox I still in pain from all the expenses from CD Key, Burning Crusade and Game Cards, hehe and soon 3x WOTLK.
It really doesn't worh taking N copies of CE. Or do that: Buy 5 CE and 4 Normal. Use the CE and 4 Normals. Save the 4 CEs and sell later on eBay for 100% more. :P

Yeah wish I could get off with only a single CE, but the girlfriend would chew me a new one. 2 x CE & 3 regular xpacs. Man this is just nuts on how much $$$ I'm spending, but then again I think, I could've been a smoker, a drug addict, in jail, etc. etc. playing this game & paying for it makes sense in not ruining my life. Go me!!! lol I'm kinda scared to see what Sam does, 26 x CE's = $ 1820 8o

All xpacs free with monies to spare!!!$69.99 - $39.99 = $30. $30 * 5 = $150.

He has to buy 5 regardless so 5 collectors editions is $150 more than 5 regular.

Game stop was charging a $15 handling fee for CE online but not in the store. Be careful ordering more then one from Amazon, they were one of the placed that nerfed my 5 TBC order to 1.

I pre-ordered mine from my local game stop. 1 CE 6 regular. 4 for me, 2 for kids 1 for wife. I told them we will all /roll for the pet but I get to roll for each of my accounts :)

I wonder if this will be available for electronic upgrade.My guess is 2 - 3 months. that was about the time frame for TBC to be available for online upgrade.
