New loot cards?

A couple of different sites around the net are claiming that the recently leaked photos of the rocket chicken, paper toys and the dragon kite are attached to the latest loot cards from the WoW card game. Previous speculation had linked them to the engineering profession, which wasn't a bad guess considering the new schematics that are already being added to that profession in the next patch.
Now, Dyrk at the Gutterspeak blog claims to have some new information about the rocket chicken, which will apparently be the second rarest item of the three new cards. He claims that it's a small, non-combat pet that launches itself into the air (or accidentally blows itself up) as its idle animation.
Following another tip on the World of Raids forums, I came across this site. About halfway down the page, the card seller claims that the new loot cards are a "paper airplane", "exploding pet chicken" and "3-D kite". While the page is mostly in German, these three items have been translated into English. Perhaps one of our amazing German-speaking readers can scour the rest of the page for more clues, but I wasn't able to turn up anything else even while wielding the awesome translating power of Babel Fish.

Sucks for the hopes of Engineers then.
It is time we had another pet to make - preferably to go with the mount!

Not a lot of more info to be had there. Roughly translated:
--->
It is now known since quite a while that the next booster set "March of the Legion" will be released the 7th of November in 2007.
319 cards
19 cards in a booster set plus UDEPoints-card
9 different starter sets
(prebuilt 33 card deck, 3 oversize hero cards, 2 boosters, rule booklet)
Subfactions, demonic allies, new types of hero abilities / powers
3 new and exclusive loot cards (Paper Airplane, Exploding Pet Chicken, 3-D Kite)
UDEPoint-cards to redeem for new special TCG-cards, promotion material and new cosmetic upgrades for the online game.

This was missing in my comment:
That's all there is, so not a lot of new info, except that the upgrades will be purely cosmetic, so we can expect new non combat pets, nothing that influences the game play. The rest might make more sense for someone who plays the trading card game.
