New Choices In The Pet Store:

The Blizzard Pet Store has just been updated with a couple of fun new choices that you can get for your characters. Continuing in the theme of cute, miniaturized bosses, we have Lil' XT, and the Celestial Steed is the first-ever mount to be available through the service. Of course, the Pandaren Monk, Lil' KT, and the Wind Rider Cub and Gryphon Hatchling plushies are still available there as well. Head over to the Pet Store to see what's available, or check the FAQ for more information.

And here I was thinking that the Celestial Steed would be a rare TCG card or perhaps a drop from the Ruby Sanctum. This mount will be the first purchaseable mount in the history of World of Warcraft, making it somewhat less unique than most had originally thought.

For the price of $25 USD you can fly around on a sparkling Algalon-esque version of the Invincible mount from heroic Lich King 25. On my server these things are already popping up all over the place. One would think that the ease of obtaining the mount and how common it will become may detract from sales, but it's certainly starting with a boom.

Mini-XT is also available for purchase for $10 USD. Much like Mini-KT, Mini-XT has abilities that mirror those of its larger counterpart.

If you're interested in buying either, get in line. Apparently there's a 6 hour queue 61,000 orders deep to purchase these new items.
