Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Blood of the Horde and Alliance United Steins Now Available for Purchase at www.wowsteins.com
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Following their successful October
release in North America, 3 Point Entertainment today announced the
availability in the European territories of the World of Warcraft(R) Epic
Collection, a series of high-quality old world-style steins based on Blizzard
Entertainment(R)'s massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
"The response to the steins in North America has been exceptional and we
have sold out of our first and second shipments of the production run
scheduled for October and November. The third and final shipment is scheduled
to arrive in December for the holiday season. We have had high interest from
players in Europe and are pleased to now be able to offer these steins to our
ever-growing European community," said 3 Point Entertainment president Jerry
Bennington.
The first two Epic Collection steins, Blood of the Horde and Alliance
United, depict panoramic full-color bas-reliefs of night elves, tauren, orcs,
and more, illustrated by Blizzard Entertainment artists Samwise Didier and
Glenn Rane. Each 11", .94 liter authentic fine grain stoneware stein is
hand-crafted by world-renowned Brazilian manufacturer Ceramarte and topped
with a sculpted pewter lid. Each of the subsequent Epic Collection steins
will also commemorate World of Warcraft's iconic characters and memorable
moments with the same level of artistry and quality.
"We know from our strong sales that World of Warcraft enthusiasts are
eager to get their hands on these extraordinary limited-edition steins. We
have seen increased demand during Oktoberfest, which is celebrated worldwide,
and Brewfest (its in-game counterpart in World of Warcraft). Several steins
have also been purchased as extremely unique wedding or groomsmen gifts,"
noted Bennington.
The World of Warcraft Epic Collection steins are currently available only
at http://www.wowsteins.com for a retail price of $79.99.
