Not long now !! New details are out. Here are the special edition sets available for pre-order (good luck finding them from the UK, I couldn't. I really wanted the Ultimate loot chest edition but for now i've ordered the standard copy. The U.L.C.E. is a neat idea inspired by a community suggestion from the Gearbox forums to have the items in a loot chest replica from the game.
You can see they've followed the game's loot chest design as closely as possible, the other pics are for size comparison. The Marcus bobble head figure in the ammo vending machine box is cool.
(Big chest or small dog? you decide)
Below is the other special edition. The deluxe vault hunters edition.
Pre-order links are up on the Pre-order page main page now. Select your country and you'll see details of participating vendors.
Details have also been announced of the new 'Mechromancer Class' - A fully playable character that will be available as DLC for download (free if you pre-order).

During their PAX East panel today, members of Gearbox announced that Borderlands 2 will be adding a Mechromancer class and character customization to the massive shooter. Rather than a stock assortment of gear and costumes, players will have to earn their new wardrobes.
New gear, costume pieces, and even custom heads can be acquired by completing missions and challenges, as well as ranking up. In addition, players of the original Borderlands will immediately be rewarded with an exclusive head and skin.
The Mechromancer is yet to be developed, and will be made available as post-launch DLC. This female character seems to be a mix of human and machine, and can control a large robot known as D374-TP (Deathtrap). The character will be made available for free to those that pre-order the game. There is no ETA or pricing available for the Mechromancer yet, but Randy Pitchford said he hopes to price it at a level "comparable to most DLC." Also announced was a special edition of the game that will retail for $149.99, and comes packaged in a loot box from the game.

This game looks amazing, I want it NOW!!!
The loot chest special editions were only up a few hours and sold out in the U.S. these will be true collectibles. Keep checking the pre-order page for details of when the loot chest editions are released for the U.K. because they won't last long. Good luck Vault Hunters
