They are having the first organized play tournament at GenCon and I imagine that since they have had a limited edition model at each of the major convnetions they will have one here also. But there is no word on any sort of pre-release for GenCon. I think the most that you could hope for is a limited edition (btw these limited editions have a different color base, but that is all) for each of the model that will be available in the starter set, but thats just my guess.
