Just came back from Funan, got my copy of Warcraft 3, I thought there will not be so much people there as later on students need to go to school. To my surprise there are ALOT of people queueing already. There are 4 shops selling Warcraft 3, 1000 copies are available to a shop for today only, more stocks will be coming later in the afternoon. You need to register at the counter to get a sticker, there is no limit to how many stickers a person can take. Each sticker is enittled to only 1 game.

Lucky for me, I got the Human box, those who get the Orcs box not really lucky from my POV, as the Orcs box is the default design for Warcraft 3 box. Channel News Asia team was there also, interviewing people and fliming the scene, 2 or 3 of the people which was interviewed was very closed to me, lucky I was not interviewed. Hehe 🙂

The goodies bag come with:

> **»**Warcraft 3 Game Box  
>  **»** Warcraft 3 Poster  
>  **»** Warcraft 3 T-Shirt in XL  
>  **»** Warcraft 3 Mouse Pad  
>  **»** Warcraft 3 Stickers

Even the carrier has also Warcraft 3 prints on it, very nice indeed.
