No, were complaining because they are RANDOM giveaways. If people that dont play GW get the rare pets, what do they do? Leave in their magazine pile collecting dust? Throw it in the trash?

Best thing would have been to publish a Code in every magazine that provide the player with in in game usable item like the birthday pressent. Double clicking on this may or may not get you one of the pets. This way at least everyone that plays the game has a shot at getting one of the pets.

I think those countries that got a chance at the rarer minipets, and then everybody else got asura ones (at least, that's how I interpreted it) would have been the best way to go about it everywhere else. Especially since you can exchange the asura for a destroyer if you already had one.
right, I bought one of the mags over here (Italy), 2-4 pages of crappy infos I knew kind of 3 months before GW:EN came out, I didn't even read 2 lines of the article...just checked where the code was (DVD-version only, good bye 8€, instead of 5€ for a normal version), didn't find one...thrashed the mag instantly...well, at least i got quite a bit adrenaline before opening the mag...

I like my destroyer. So he's not rare, unless I want to sell something it doesn't matter to me how rare it is, the destroyer mini is a great model.

Just been to borders and got me a destroyer. So what it's not rare as Vizu but it looks way cooler than her anyway! I'm happy now, just wish PCG could have done the same so i didnt have to buy an import just to get a mini

Yep if there's Borders Store near you, it's worth checking it out. The magazine is price at £7.99 and not seal. So watch out for the local rude boys who might steal the code.
