Just to answer a few questions:
* You'll only receive the new hairstyle/item/emote if your card is purchased at one of the following:
GameStop (USA****)
EB Games (Canada, Australia, New Zealand)
WH Smith (UK)
Purchases made at any other retailer won't include the bonus features.
* The game card is like any other normal game card in that you will receive the package of your choice, in addition to the hairstyle/item/emote.
* The staff itself does have some stats: 867 damage and 600 accuracy. The tier of the staff will be set automatically to your appropriate level, but you can right click the staff and change it
Upon logging in you'll receive a message in the chat box confirming you have the items. If you've bought a game card and don't have what you're expecting, you most likely bought it at the wrong store.
