Before the 3rd gets here I'm wondering which of the hasbro sites they (GRN-MED) will be for sale on, so I'm not waiting on the wrong page. I assume that it will be on the HasbroToyShop site under Exclusives, but there is also the shop.hasbro site. If anyone knows for sure please let us know, I don't want to miss out by watching the wrong site.
You will also be able to buy it from channel Fireball so long as you are willing to go to one of their events to get it. Might also want to watch amazon too.
I am honestly curious as to why you want to get the item in question, are you simply wanting to get the limited edition cards for a collection?

I am pretty sure they will be selling these on their main website (HasbroToyShop) under Exclusives as that is where they listed the SDCC and HasCon promos.
@Mana Goat: I am not sure of the OP's motivation, but I plan on picking up at least one of these as well from the Website (none of Channel Fireball's events are close enough to me or I would be doing that). I like the art, and I like the selection of 5 of the planeswalkers (I don't care as much about 3 of them). I really want a second copy of Teferi, Ral, and Liliana but I am not sure what they will go for on the secondary market. The fact that these come with 24 packs of Ravnica makes it a little easier to just accept the price tag.
If I could be sure I could get Teferi, Ral, and Liliana for $200 or less (essentially $70 or lower each) on the secondary market, I wouldn't bother as much with these promos. But I am fairly confident that is not the case and the other 5 walkers and 24 packs is worth the extra $50 to me. For example, Chandra, Torch of Defiance from SDD17 is still $90 and that is only after her SDCC18 printing (which is at $120) so these have a history of going up fairly high in price. They look cool, the cards are playable and, for me, it is nice to have them in my collection so when I do find a deck (most likely in EDH) that wants them, I have a "unique" copy of it.
I feel like I´m usually one for calling out others for their negativity, but ... everything about this product is SO terrible. It´s such an ugly mess. The fact that availability is subject to an unreliable website and people have to ask on a forum to know what site it is, or you have to go to a GP, uneven distribution depending on location, horribly overprice luxury versions of existing cards, basically fake collectors´ items, tacked onto a regular booster box, the hoarding and secondary market exploitation that is sure to follow, the bypassing of local game stores, the watering down of the term Masterpiece ... I just think that everything is wrong with what they´re doing here.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Unfortunately I'm unable to make it to a CFB event. The collector in me wants them for the potential value, the player in me wants them for the border-less look or and I'm missing many of the value ones. I just hope they eventually start doing border-less for all cards and not just premiums.

Just to add this to the fire, this product is only being sold in the USA and Canada as far as I have heard. This means that scalpers are going to buy this in large quantity to sell for double to triple the cost of purchase to buyers outside of the country. So this product will vanish in the first ten minutes and most of it will not even end up going to the target buyers, and the kicker is that wizards could have just sold the product to out of country buyers and stopped this. I mean seriously, this is free money if they just printed more and shipped it to other countries.
With the Amazon deal I thought Wizards was being greedy and stupid, now I just think they are stupid.

When I try to load the page where this product is, it pops up for a split second then goes white almost instantly. Happening to anybody else?
Yes, it happens to me as well. I have tried Chrome and Firefox with the same results. It does flash quickly and, if you time it right, you can stop Chrome from loading the page and it says displayed. This suggests that something in the page itself is hiding the contents for some reason.
Worth noting is that it displayed just fine in Edge...until I logged into my account on the site. It is weird but hopefully it is just something occurring temporarily and will be fixed in time for it to be listed.
I was getting the white screen, I copied the URL from Chrome and pasted it into IE and it works going straight to it. If I go from the Exclusives page I get the white screen.

So yeah, they should really get their website up to snuff before making it the exclusive place to buy such a heavily-hyped product.

Hopefully you make it through!

EDIT: I found it. Yeah, somethings up. Still says out of stock like it has said since last night. Nothing's changed since it rolled over to 12 PM EST.
