Unfortunately, not something I can really answer, but I don't think BattleShop gets/ships new releases any prior to standard distribution.
I tend to purchase my hard copies either at my FLGS or from online stores like Cool Stuff Inc and Miniature Market. They price extremely aggressively and have pretty good tools for tracking your order and shipment and I've had really good experiences with them. Given that the street date is Nov 30, you should see this in the channel starting this weekend.
