A company called 3 Point Entertainment has apparently been contracted by Blizzard to make some
WoW steins -- yes, tired of drinking your ale out of
a plain old authentic German stein? Now you can drink it out of a
Warcraft-branded,
Horde or Alliance themed WoW stein. As much beer as we drink, we can't exactly say we're stein connesseurs, but these look pretty well done to us. Each one features a bas-relief illustration from two artists who've done a lot of work for Blizzard, Glenn Rane and Samwise Didier, and they're made by
a company called Ceramarte, apparently a big player in the "beerware" business.
They'll set you back a whopping $79.99, though, which seems pricey (although it's been a long time since we went stein shopping, so maybe that's a bargain). Think we could drink our mead out of something a little cheaper, maybe a Thunderbrew-branded sippy cup?

I bet most of those steins get used for cheap swill like coors and budlight.

I am putting some Warsteiner Dunkel in mine ;D

You obviously don't know cheap brew.
Steel Reserve FTW!

Capt Janeway, I want your children for knowing warschtiner. This is the ONLY beer for this mug because life is too short to drink cheap beer.

Umm, hell yes?
I'm buying one, for sure!
The amusing part is, I was looking for a "gothic" looking steins a while back for the sake of amusement when I have friends over for drinks/LAN raiding. :P

Guess that's why they're called "Collectors items"

I wonder what all these product designers have against women. All the female characters in this stuff are always gnomes, casters or clothies. I would like a strong female tank model of some sort please.
I mean... I am still going to get one of these because I

Oy! Gnomes are the best female tanks.

Just in time for Christmas! :)

Wow! They look really cool. Here in the UK we have Toby jugs which are similarly garish things, I really like the alliance one, but if I see them I'd probably get both.

I was all excited until I saw the price tag. $80? C'mon...I could see $30, maybe $40 because its "collectable" but $80 is just ludicrous.
Kesava Aug 7th 2008 2:12PM
Similar steins cost $100-200 so $80 isnt so bad.
jtrain Aug 7th 2008 2:39PM
Had no idea they were that much. Learn something new every day.
jake Aug 7th 2008 2:39PM
Has anyone found what the rest of the steins look like?
Hilus Aug 7th 2008 2:40PM
Magnificents, indeed...
Leshrac Aug 7th 2008 3:24PM
I think the Alliance should get a sippy cup, they're either too young or too old to actually drink liquor. Or, they can use the stein to capture all those PVP QQs.

Right... 'coz we all know Horde can't be immature... amirite?
WOODY Aug 7th 2008 3:09PM
look at the handles! They're axes and hammers, isn't that neat?!
