According to CZ, they are putting out about 200 in mid-August and another 250 in November, 2013 some time. No idea how these will be distributed, or how many might be held back for direct sale on CZ's web site, however the back order demand from third-party vendors is approaching 700, so many will not get one this year. That's why I bit the bullet (pun intended - I could have said pulled the trigger) and bid on a new one on Gun Broker which I got for slightly over $500 and then cancelled my February order at Midway (which was for $410). I figured I would rather have one now, than not know if I was ever going to get one. I had stocked up on .22LR ammo before the shortage hit, so I'm good to go, and with the cost saving on ammo, I will easily average down my overpayment with more range time at less cost. This item is going to be scarce for the foreseeable future, so my suggestion is grab one if you can.
