Well, not what you were hoping for, but that rocket is awesome.

I love that Orange one myself. I can't wait to make one

Can't wait for these BOA things to be implemented. Just to only have to make 1 Orange Rocket sounds great to me. I bet those 2 might be decent sellers at the start of MoP

I just think it's boring. Despite how much I love orange, even... but the goblin version looks interesting enough in cmparison (though small...) And my RAF rocket looks similar enough, and I've had it for a while, so it sorta sucks the excitedness away.

Though, that's just the thing. I already technically have a rocket, so it's not a new and exciting thing for me. Now for a lot of other people, this is a different story. :P

A big plus for me regarding both of the new rockets is that instead of sitting on top of them, you get a little seat inside the top. No legs awkwardly hanging out on the sides.

I'm more of a fan of the gnomish rocket because the goblin one feels like a bullet. O_o I can absolutely understand people preferring that, but not me. xD

The goblin one seems to be a little buggy at the moment...

Just think of it as a glass floor to take in the sights while you hold onto the steering wheel really tight!

Thats true, I've never had a rocket before, maybe thats why this is more exciting. I'm just happy Engineering gets another mount to make :)

if you look closely, legs still hang out

Bah. Well, hopefully that will be fixed.

Plus I was more referring to the awkward "is that a rocket you're riding or are you just happy to see me?" discussions prompted by the older rockets. ;)

THAT is the Gyro... ... ...
If they were going to make it a rocket, at least make it green to look like what it (possibly) refrences...
That... that looks more like a neutral "Racing Rocket" then a magnificient "world spinner"
I mean, it looks cool, and I'd love to have it as a mount, but
It just doesn't give off a "world spinner" vibe to me...

I agree, we should get something thats a similar but still unique mount thats based lightly off the spinner in legend of zelda, twilight princess.. it could have rockets on the bottom and it could spin and tip forward/sideways/backwards when you move and just spin while sitting balanced when your idle :D

Something like that would be pretty sweet, kind of like a Hover disc from Maly. But spinning around in a circle as it hovers / moves

Maybe like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDtWLPDhzjU

I looove the depleted rocket, It's like riding a bomb around! So cool, and I love how compact it is.
