Hello
Does anyone know if a physical retail box will be released at one point?
I am one of many that have all the boxes from past expansions.
I would like to have a physical box for Shadowlands as well 
Most likely this is not the first post regarding the physical box, but I could not find a concrete confirmation regarding this issue.
Thank you
Nope, sofar. I dont think there will be a boxed edition (except CE).
I can’t recall seeing them anywhere, so far.
Google was not much help either 
it is a shame, my poor shelf with game boxes on them, all gathering dust from being untouched in years. They want new friends to gather dust with, but they will never have any.
Been several threads about this that I remember the answer was unclear. Generally no unless you want CE but someone claimed your local game shop would have one?
Afaik the only physical box available is the collector edition one but it’s in limited supply. Looks pretty cool.
I tried looking GAME in the UK but the site is down so no help there. There may be display boxes used in some retail shops though, so if you see any you could approach them about acquiring one.
Here is what I wrote in another thread:
For all other expansions you have been able to pre-order the physical non-ce box edition a couple of months before release. This expansion, you can’t find any information about it at all. No store have it up for pre-order. I have pre-ordered from a Swedish online retailer since WoD. So yeah it would be helpful to know if we should wait or not. I have pre-ordered the CE edition instead incase there is no physical edition so I have something for my collection at least.
Blizzard: It would be nice to know if there will be a standard physical edition or not.
I’ve e-mailed my preferred online retailer here in Sweden asking them if they know of any supply of such a copy.
Would be nice to know wheter or not there will be on. How hard could it be to communicate this?
Been to 3 game shops and none of them will be getting the physical copies, not sure if thats only in my country or not vbut i gave up and got the digital one.
I assume that there will be none from Shadowlands going forward, otherwise pre-orders would be up now. That is why I booked the CE and will continue buying that instead for my collection.
Nope, shops only sell codes.
Pretty sad imo.
Why they dont make Boxes with code?
We don’t want DVD, we want cute box to put it on the shelf.
They used to do that but I guess they want to be more environmentally friendly
It would be great if we would have an official confirmation regarding this.
Nothing on Amazon UK for a basic, physical edition… kinda suspected that BfA would be the last one, when I bought the code in a retail box. It was logical to ponder why Blizzard were going to the expense of a physical box, rather than selling a purely digital copy.
The physical Shadowlands Collectors Edition looks good, however it’s out of my price range.
I think the CE is the only physical version of Shadowlands.
