I received my WoW Trading Card Game in the mail today.

Bought the booster pack and I got lucky and got a code to
get the turtle mount.

It's been a big hit on Alleria. I got like 1,000 tells from people
asking me how I got it.

Its not the fastest mount but it turns heads.

Oh and you can ride the mount beginning at lvl 20.

Congrats!

I was extremely lucky and actually managed to get one too. It was the third-to-last pack in the box I got. I had to run around and gloat to everyone. Yeah, I'm that guy. Tseric got the Hippogryph pet and traded it for some primo cards. It may seem like they're not so rare from our luck, but they are, we're just THAT awesome.

The mount is a cosmetic mount, it moves at normal run speed, but due to the rarity of the card it's going to be pretty cool to ride around on one. I was thinking about making a hunter, name him Turtle, tame a turtle, name it turtle, ride the turtle mount, and have the turtle pet from Children's Week. If you see me though it isn't me... it's some guy that ripped off my idea.

I think I'm actually just going to hang on to it and try to complete a full set.

Well then I'm just normal folk. We paid for ours too.

Q u o t e:
How cheap are blizzard sometimes, lol. Make the turtle mount 100% or make it if you have 150 riding skill it does 100%.

Huh? It's not like making a car. It doesn't cost us more to produce a mount that travels at a faster speed. It's a cosmetic item, it's something to show off at the mailbox or while waiting for everyone in a group to arrive somewhere. Just something that's a bit unique for those times where you're just standing around anyway.

Q u o t e:
the epic items that are in the booster packs can't be turned in for the item in game can they...?

You can find a list of all the in-game items you can get from the card game at the Upper Deck website here: http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wow/en/news/article.aspx?aid=1243

I got the turtle mount as well in a starter deck booster pack. (Technically my other half did.) We made a trade for three epic cards. It was a great deal and the Turtle is in a happy home now.
