Patch 4.3 PTR: Replica armor, heirlooms, and death knight starting gear

The Darkmoon Faire is offering old sets as promised! Vendors Barum and Baruma currently sell replica armor -- that's armor with old models but no stats. For now, only Dungeon Set 1 and Dungeon Set 2 models are available to choose from, but perhaps we'll see other models added to the vendors' inventory over time.
There's a bonus to that replica armor: It's not restricted by class. Though Dungeon Set 1 was never restricted, Dungeon Set 2 originally could only be obtained on a per-class basis. That's not all, however. Right next to the replica armor vendors is an heirloom vendor who sells all heirloom items for Darkmoon Tickets. Heirlooms that were only previously available through points are now available for playing games and racking up tickets at the Darkmoon Faire.
And if that weren't cool enough -- hey death knights, remember how you wanted to get your hands on your old starter gear sets? If you hit Acherus on the 4.3 PTR server, Quartermaster Ozorg has all death knight starting armor sets and weapons available for purchase. For those who are not death knights -- no, you cannot purchase the death knight starter gear. It's for death knights, not for you!
Check out the gallery for the full array of items on the heirloom, replica armor, and Ebon Hold vendors.
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

Ooo I want the Warlock D1 set so bad... oh wait, I have the cloth heirlooms, fail.

I must confess this is something that firstly I did not see coming, and secondly, it is something I can find no fault with. (yeah, a thing that Blizzard are doing that I am not complaining about! The sky must have fallen or something.
I am not going to be picky about this, my Death Knight is looking forward to getting something that looks much better than the Outland Clown Suit he is wearing just now. In other words, his starting set, or something that looks like it. Whoopee!!!!! And yeah, Warriors, hands off. Get off my lawn, whippersnappers.
Though it will be a while before I can take advantage of it, I have just got the dlc for New Vegas downloaded, and I have still to pick up Skyrim...

SO happy they gave DKs a way to get their starting gear back. That's still my favorite DK set, and will be overjoyed to wear it again! :D

You can buy it in the Ebon Hold in the Plaguelands. They added in a vender on the 1st floor who will resell you that gear for copper
