A little later I found an explanation on twitter: "Jace doesn't know much about Urza, but he know that he saved the world by manipulating thousands and sacrificing millions. To Jace, Urza is a cautionary tale. His back is facing Urza in this piece; an active rejection of all that Urza stood for."
Can't find - is any way to buy it without to flight in hurry to Comic Con?
If they do the same thing they have done the past years with this, it will be available on Hasbro's Toy Shop 2-3 weeks (approximately) after SDCC concludes. In 2016, they sold out in about 33 minutes (I got lucky to get mine in that window). In 2017 they sold out "slightly" slower and were in stock for about 4 weeks after SDCC. I am not sure if the price was a factor last year, if they had more stock, or something else, but there were a lot of opportunities to buy them from the Toy Shop.
I would suggest doing what I do (assuming they put them in the Toy Shop): watch for the announcement for when they will be listed and then just refresh the page that day until they show "In Stock" and then pick one up.
Of course, this is only in America because Wizards hates taking money from Europeans.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras. Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power. Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza. Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall. Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana. Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die. Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Got mine today (and got them signed). They are GORGEOUS!!! It's a shame how bad overall the walkers are, playability-wise, because the art is the best I've ever seen in any promo or regular Planeswalker. Would have loved them to add Teferi and Karn, but in speaking with Terese during the signing, they were originally commissioned about 2 years ago when WOTC was still all about the Gatewatch. Still, these are probably some of the most spectacular things I have to look at as far as Magic cards are concerned.
Nice and all but is the card stock the same as in the recent sets if so they are essentially worthless. I would be super pumped if they had no SDCC Exclusives and instead showcased a fixed card stock and spent an hour showing it under different conditions not bending at all, hell sometimes it is a surprise anymore when you open a sealed pack and they are not already bending....
How's the foiling? is it similar from FTV or similar to pack foils?
Same as last year. Similar to FTV, but I don't know if it's exactly the same. Definitely has distinct vertical lines in the reflective bits.
Unfortunately it blows out some of the highlight details in Nissa, but otherwise they all look incredible in person.
Congratulations! They look great. Can't wait to get my hands on Gideon and Jace. I do agree with you though, the FTV-like foiling is really disappointing, and I wish they had chosen a different Jace than Cunning Castaway for that art. Regardless, I hope to pick up those two guys when the hype settles a bit, but getting them signed seems like a good reason for you to have gotten them now, if you're a fan of signed cards. I'm not, but that's just me. Gaaahhhh must be patient.

And based on the daily allotment remaining (and the same pattern as last year) there should be plenty available, but online will sell out very quick).
I haven't been to SDCC in a few years, but the years I went and got it, it sold pretty steadily and sold out most days. Is that not the case anymore? Does Hasbro have enough copies for the demand? I imagine that should lower the price on eBay for those who are not in the states.

Could be fatigue, could be that most of them rotate out of standard or are mostly unplayable, could be that those blinging out their Chandras have last year's SDCC version, could be those pissed about last year's massive price increase (though back down to $99 this year), could be they made a bunch more of them. Could be any number of things.
I think the best thing working in their favor though, is it's by far the best planeswalker art ever produced for cards.
What does Hasbro's online shop consider a new sales day? In other words, if they are for sale on 8/13, is that at midnight PST? Midnight EST? Something else?

I don't think that there was a daily allotment this year outside of the exclusives lottery and that wasn't even a sure thing. I stopped by very late Friday, when they were closing down the booth, and MtG was sold out but they had more on a truck somewhere. I showed up again first thing Sunday morning (around 9:30, which is when the expo hall opened) on the assumption that they had some set aside per day and there was no line, but they were sold out of this as well as a couple of the Star Wars figures. The impression that I got talking with the staff was that everything sold on Saturday and Sunday - i.e. not in any of the lottery timeslots - was a free for all.

[Pr]Jaya | Estrid | A rotating cast of decks built out of my box.
And they're gone. Had one in my cart, then checkout was taking forever and when it finally went through they were out of stock.
Me too. I was at work and was right there at the payment screen and then yeah, no more. I was crushed, but they must not have had many units left over to sell, plus an entire country full of competition means most people didn't even stand a chance.
I saw Jace sell for $16 on ebay at one point. I passed on them. I love the original Cunning Castaway art, can't play more than one copy in EDH, and I have the Ixalan one I prefer, so I just didn't bother with these. The foiling on them and FTV cards is really glaring, so I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm going to pass on this promo Jace.

I bought 2 of the Jace. I set a bid on one, too high, then not sure if I would win bought one. Now I have 2, but I use them for the ultimate tokens. I’ve pulled off the ultimate 2 times so far

Maybe I'll buy one card instead of the whole set.
