Have seen them on ebay only a couple of times, once from a seller in Japan & another in the UK. Don't remember either indicating whether they were the special edition, or the more regular release.
Have only ever seen it once in a model shop, last month & had to have it. Same edition that you are referring to with the figure & the medal priced at £49.99. The shop only had a single special edition, but had two of the regular issue.
The box states that there is a 3rd gift, that is available only in Japan, but leaves what it is a mystery. Out of curiosity, anyone know what it is?
Have to officially wait for Santa to bring it to me though, as my Mum, who I was out with at the time got it for me as a Christmas present :)
