Blizzard has a history of making new store mounts/transmog sets available before the next expansion is released. They become unobtainable as soon as the expansion comes out. If the same pattern continues, we may see a new moon-themed wow expansion that has something to do with Elune.

A new World of Warcraft expansion is released after every two years. Here is a table that outlines the release date of each new WoW expansion.
