This is listed in Marvel's September Solicitations, but since most of these Premiere Hardcover editions are printed in China, that usually means that this is an Advance Solicitation. I would guess that the on sale date will be sometime in November or December.

Argh and I bought the TPB for only a few dollars less!

I was correct.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: WAR & REMEMBRANCE PREMIERE HARDCOVER has an On-Sale Date of December 1st.

Oh, and the official On-Sale Date for AVENGERS: UNDER SIEGE is September 1st.

I liked the cover on the original War & Remembrance trade. It's a shame they're not using it anymore!
