Is the WoW Forever Collector's Edition sold out?
Yes. The first run sold out by September 21, and the extra English stock Blizzard added on September 24 is gone from the Gear Store too: the US and EU listings show it sold out as of September 29. That restock covered North America, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand; at Australian and New Zealand retailers availability depends on the store. No extra German or French stock was mentioned, and any new batch would be announced in Blizzard's CE article.
If you got a restock order, two things to know. Delivery is February 2027, so the box shows up months after launch. And the Gear Store limit is now a strict one copy per household, down from three on the first run.

Because the code is the full Warcraft Forever Collection, CE owners get Skyborne, Early Name Reservation, 30 days of Game Time, the mounts and the pets. Beta instructions come by email, the code goes on your WoW account (one per account), and the beta closed October 23 (extended from October 21).
The Warcraft III codes are printed inside the box, and Support can't hand them out early. That means November 2026 for first-run orders and February 2027 for the restock.
CE or the digital Warcraft Forever Collection?
With the restock, the box lands after launch. Blizzard's CE article has a workaround: want the digital content sooner? Buy a Forever upgrade on the Battle.net Shop now, redeem your CE code by December 31, 2027, and some purchases qualify for a Battle.net Balance credit. Some credits are automatic, some need a ticket, and not every product counts (Support article 36942). Blizzard hasn't said exactly when restock buyers get their CE code.
