A1200 is planned, but currently A600 version is being produced, while A500 version is in development, and shown to work.
A couple of days ago Kipper2k made a update that MIGHT be grounds for worry, and options are being explored by the team;

UPDATE 21st Jun 2016

Hi All, i have completed all but a couple of paid for orders. We have now a little hiccup. Intel has purchased Altera and the price of FPGA has more than doubled. Here is a link so you can see....

 $152 is not a price we can obviously live with so i am trying to source them elsewhere (not EbAY!!), it appears Intel is trying to get some money back from the takeover costs or have other devious things in mind so at the moment we have a shortage of parts available  (strictly my own conspiracy theory :)
