Another Tuesday, another set of new (and some old) shop deals from Blizzard, all themed after Murder at Castle Nathria.
Constructed Skin Bundles
All big skin bundles have now left the shop, and we're left with three solo-skin bundles. Garrosh still remains purchasable, and he's joined by the new Kel'Thuzad and Vashj skins. All three come with 5 Class packs and each bundle is priced at $9.99 or your regional equivalent.
Battlegrounds Bundles
No skins for Battlegrounds in the shop (unless you count those that are part of the Rewards Track) but we did get a new Strike called Anima Crypt and the first ever emote bundle Mystery Mayhem, containing six Castle Nathria-themed emotes to replace the newly free-for-all default emotes. Both of these Battlegrounds items will cost you $4.99 or your regional equivalent.
Castle Nathria Card Pack Bundles
The same pack bundles from last week still remain in the shop as well.
- Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $19.99, containing 10 Castle Nathria packs, 10 Standard packs, and two random legendaries.
- Golden Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $39.99, containing 12 Golden Castle Nathria packs and one random golden legendary.
Buying these bundles unlocks another pair of Rank 2 bundles with increasing size and price.
- Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $39.99, containing 25 Castle Nathria packs, 25 Standard packs, and two random legendaries.
- Golden Murder at Castle Nathria Bundle for $79.99, containing 25 Golden Castle Nathria packs and two random golden legendaries.

I´m still waiting for the OG Kel'Thuzad hero to be purchasable again in shop. It´s two years now since he´s been available in Bundle and bringing him back this expansion would make sense imo, but since they´re offering this new version Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable, I´m starting to doubt it. What do you guys think? Is it possible/realistic they would bring him back anytime soon, or we would likely need to wait a year or so longer?
Very quick (and therefore potentially faulty) maths of previous purchasable pre-order skins - time between pre-order end and skin returning to shop:
"Still waiting":
As a summary, it's highly likely that the skin will return in the shop within a year, but a year might be a rather long time for you to wait. It should be noted that the longest waits have been the two oldest pre-order skins, so it might be sooner rather than later for the newer skins. Especially since the top 2 on the wait list returned in this expansion.
Thanks for your reply and research, Frosty. Now I can be a little calm, since I´ve spend all my gold on new packs. It didn´t cross my mind to save at least 1500 gold for a potential preorder skin return, until I´ve spent it all. Now I´m slowly hoarding back, hoping to have enough till KT returns to the shop. My only fear now is that I´ll miss the deal in shop, since it´s so stealthed and quickly gone - just like I´ve missed Skullbearer Illidan by one day :/ An article or a little reminder for the new skins in shop would be much appreciated :D
If it happens at all, I would wager it going up after Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable exits the shop and Hallow's End rolls around.
The vashj skin looks grtea, to bad it aslmo streched like a accordion....
Ah! I should have seen this coming. They wanted the suspects to be paid cosmetics and put the usual characters on the reward track.
Also I got a legendary quest. One.
Same here, probably activated too soon because these usually appear in chains. Hopefully this does not bug out and stops the chain from resuming/continuing.
EDIT: I just read somewhere else this is a single legendary quest which will last 7 days. One SINGLE free pack this time, I guess inflation has also found it's way into Hearthstone.
