Is this something you read somewhere or are you just making this up ?

Completely unnecessary, but I could see somebody wanting them (or at least painting their own extra copies?)

Mage Wars Necromancer bumper sticker
Really?
Mage Wars Necromancer Figurine for use instead of the Card
Need these for all the mages.
Mage Wars Libro Motuos Plush
I don't get the attraction of "plush" (as in teddy bear?), but I could imagine a deluxe edition 3D textured spell book with pages that all face the same way and looks something like the "Book of the Dead" edition of the Evil Dead DVD from about a decade ago:

Possible Sardonyx Plush and Wearable Necromancer Robe
No. Just no. If you want to play in costume, knock yourself out, but if included in a deluxe edition for the card game, the size of the box would have to be huge and would cost accordingly as you wouldn't be able to fit many boxes per crate shipped from overseas.

For a pure mage collector set like the Necromancer I agree on the following:
- necro card sleeves
- 2 new custom necro spell book - one for skeletal army
and one for zombie army or make only 1 but each back will cater for the chosen army
- necro 3d miniature for:
1. Necromancer
2. Graveyard.
3. Reanimate - creature coming out of the ground. This should cover the alternate art for all reanimated creature.
4. Libro Mortous
- necro life counter or magnetic life/mana/channel counter
- 4 same level 2 necro incantation
- 6 same level 1 undead enchantment
- 1 level 4 or level 6 epic legendary creature kinda like the Game of Thrones White Walker on undead horses or headless horseman
- 4 same level 2 undead flyers
And other cards

I don't know all the ways to get them, but I assume they're available (or given away?) at conventions, and sometimes they get packaged in with orders from the Arcane Wonders online store (http://store.arcanewonders.com/home.php) (e.g. pre-orders, magnetic boards, promo packs, etc). Not sure if that helps you in Poland, though.

I have a bunch of them. I got mine in Ambassador Orders From AW, as well as working at Cons, and buying Merch from the AW booths at Cons.

This doesn't help us Europeans...
I really AW reconsider and travel to EU one day, so that we also had the chance.
-
Yes, it's really not that simple to got the cool stuff here in europe

Personally, I wish it was easier for me to make it over there. Having a whole ocean between us isn't helping any of us. I know from a business side, we're always looking at things like Essen to see what's feasible for us to attend. We want to come see you guys too.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard from a German Mage wars player (think it was aridigas) that the German distributor is trying to keep a drastically slower release schedule. If so, that sounds like it might be a problem for getting new players into the game over there. And we still haven't heard any news about French Mage wars since the France distributor dropped the product with no warning whatsoever. Is this a pattern? Do European distributors just not want to sell Mage wars for some reason? If so, why not, and why would they agree to sell it in the first place then not follow through and not give any warning if there are any problems?
A surprising number of the best Mage wars players in the world, or at least on octgn, come from Germany. This is so discouraging.

One major thing to remember is that most mage wars players here in Europe play the English version, so that is no problem release vise. It is only none-fan players in Germany, France and somewhat Spain who are lazy and can't (or don't have the skill, which I doubt) play with English cards. So if those versions have different release schedule than the English one I will just welcome it. I'm not a fan of having resources taken form new developments in favour of translation cost and time.

I play the english version and wouldn't buy a french version now.
But a lot of french people (teens and adults) don't speak english fluently and won't buy a game in english. Those are lost for MW...

You'd have to import the english versions to play with them. I personally don't know about someone selling english Mage Wars sets in Germany. At least not in big stocks.
Personally I'd rather play with german cards though. They have the same language as my other german cards and (that's the main part) are allowed at german tournaments. Most major events I know about and most local groups I've been to only allow cards that have been released in a german set already. So if you want to attend tournaments or organized plays you're restricted to those cards. I could imagine this is a major point when you decide to buy an english set or not.
Don't think it's fair to say that people who don't buy english sets are lazy or not fans. There are a couple of reasons to wait for releases i your own language.

I'm with Boocheck on this. I was fully prepared to back your Kickstarter! ;D

I don't believe that's true.
Imho, Pegasus Spiele is taking their time for two (or three) reasons:
1) to keep costs down, they wait to send cards to the printers until they can combine the order with others.
2) translating Mage Wars cards into German is tricky. You need someone who's very knowledgable in the game _and_ with good language skills. You must take care that any and all keywords are translated consistently. And I bet there's a lot of correspondence between them and Arcane Wonders to make sure they interpret cards and rules correctly.
3) partly as a consequence of 1) & 2), Pegasus Spiele makes good use of the delay by incorporating errata. This may paradoxically result in correct cards being released earlier than their English equivalent. Sometimes there are additional benefits, e.g. German expansions were already released using the improved packaging that Arcane Wonders came up with Forged in Fire, IIRC.
I'd further like to stress why I prefer the German version:
- It's half the price of the English version (most likely due to the costs to import it).
- I can play it with everyone here, not just with players who are fluent in English - and make no mistake, you need a pretty good grasp of English to understand the often long and rather complicated card texts correctly.
