@mammothguy54 Your hopes are a reality! Give them a call and get it pre-ordered.
I learned a couple of interesting things. They do the pressings at the beginning of the year and then release them "throughout the year". In other words, who knows when they will ship. I also asked if serial numbers correspond to order dates, and they said "roughly", so if you want a low number, order early and often.
This thread just cost me another chunk of money. Thanks guys!
