Amazon UK gives a release date of March 2 for Tamerlano, as do Presto Classical (very reasonable shipping) and the Opus Arte website. I can't find a word about it on Amazon US.

Opus Arte have also announced Lohengrin and Don Giovanni for April 1. More Wagner on Blu-ray, please! Parsifal and Tristan especially. I'm steering clear of the one available Blu of Die Walküre after reading some fairly negative reviews.
