BtS Released
It is in US shops! And it is in the wild...
EDIT: This actually happened in a Warlords Pitboss.

I knew someone that worked at Toys R Us and she said that they face stiff fines and in the future the manufacturer won't give them merchandise in advance if they even release stuff a few hours early. I don't doubt that someone accidentally put the stuff on the shelf last night after the shipment came in not thinking about when it was supposed to be put out and people this morning saw it and bought it before they had a chance to pull it off of the shelfs.

Reading that thread, it looks like the Aussie's are the lucky ones. No one in NA, East Asia, or EU have reported getting it yet. I just placed my preorder with Amazon, due to ship on the 27th. With free supersaver shipping, that means I'll get it sometime between July 29th and October 14th []

What Grahamiam said - looks like it's only released Down Under. And I got properly burned by Amazon on Civ4 vanilla, so on the US day of release I'm calling the local electronic game stores and picking it up at the closest one that can save me a copy (which worked well with Warlords).

I don't expect a mad rush here in Lynchburg for BtS so I think that I'll stop by BestBuy on the way home Monday

It indeed seems Aussie specific, a Dutch website (bol.com) lists 20-07 as release date. And I'm at 28.5% atm.

A couple Dutch people have reported game-in-hand, given the crowd around here I'd be surprised if one or two of y'all didn't come up with a copy today.
