I don't think so. But i have the collector edition. There's nothing but the swarm on the box.

Are you honestly expecting ANYTHING like a SH removal? Thats completely delusional, people have had so many "rumors" about how "Blizzard will fix forcefields" or "replace colossus with more interesting units for protoss" or "split up deathballs" and they were all completely wrong.
As I said, they will MAYBE alter these units to be a little less weird but I'm pretty sure thats the most we can get apart from new units.
I also don't have to work for Blizzard to analyze the past, and "rumors" aren't convincing enough to think that Blizzard suddenly completely changed their development policies regarding starcraft.

Well yeah but the artbook is probably a lot more neutral and not everything in there is in the game(not even SP) anyway.

Wasn't the warhound one of the most hated units during hots beta iirc? Why do people want it back now?

+ Show Spoiler + j/k obviously, but i'm very interested on that. Specially with such as shit unit like the colossus, which has proved to just not work at all under a bunch of different roles (Starbow development).
Lately i have also been considering what will i do if LotV does not bring anything to the table, I mean i have invested more time into SC2 than a great majority of those that post in these forums, and if LotV does not deliver, what will i do? All that time becomes wasted?

Ugh, it should be hard to find but I I'll try once I'm home. It was one of those hotbid interviews(I think) in front of some wall (maybe MLG? I honestly can't quite recall) back in the days.
I guess the major point about this is that Blizzard can not only try to make the best game possible but they also have to treat it like any typical AAA title.
Another example is the hesitating to implement the rampblocking rocks because the Art department was like "it looks like shit". Or not changing pathfinding because it would be "dumbing down the engineering efforts".

This thing sounds like a mech unit reloading. The metallic cling is too evident to suggest Zerg, so it is most likely a Terran unit. Probably not Protoss.
If you keep repeating different parts of the sound clip, then the theme becomes more clear (to me at least):
High pitched noise, similar to a laser/ringing of metal.
Followed by a clink/clang of metal, most similar to metal on metal.
Followed by a sound similar to the extension of a boom (reminds me of a vertical shift in the boom of my dad's CNC milling machine when it raises up or down; this is a pneumatic or hydraulic noise)
Followed what is the most peculiar part which I take to be firing of weapon.
In summary, I think this is the reloading sequence of a weapon firing, and if this sound was played in a continuous loop it would be evident. However, the end of the sound seems to be fading and is harder to make out from the beginning of the clip.
Super stoked for Blizzcon! Woo

I think I have to revoke my statement about why they won't remove Colossi until I can find a source. I just can't find the video. I'm pretty sure I heard that though. Same as they said they can't remove Thor because it is in the collectors edition thingy and thats the reason they thought about that hero thor thing.
Only related thing I could find is this: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/9377568573 But it's just an MVP and over a year old so probably not trustworthy anymore.

MVPs don't know anything. Some like to pretend like they do though...

Anyway, as I said I'm gonna revoke my statement about that colossus/box thing. Still there are enough arguments on why Blizzard will probably not start a revolution.
It's not like I'd not welcome it, to me personally SC2 has gotten really stale and boring and many matches just feel the same if no player is completely cheesing. I'm all up for shaking up the game but I just don't really see it happening

@KeksX Meh, don't worry m8, as OtherWorld said, we will know what will they do soon enough. Sadly as i grow older i'm becoming more and more cynic, to me the last chance they had to "fix the game" was in HotS, since by trying stuff in HotS they at least had the chance to fix the broken parts & bits in LotV, now they will probably remove a unit/spell or 2, do some reworks, and call it day. I really don't like to talk about it tho, it is just so depressing.

Three more days...
Just hyping it up
