Viz Media has dated the re-release of FMA:

VIZ is excited to announce the upcoming release of FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: FULLMETAL EDITION Vol. 1! These beautiful hardcover, deluxe collector’s editions feature brand-new cover art, new color inserts, and behind-the-scenes character sketches from series creator Hiromu Arakawa. Don’t miss volume 1 available in print on May 8th!

In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Their journey to restore their bodies through the power of the Philosopher’s Stone begins here. Fully remastered with an updated translation and completely fresh lettering, the FULLMETAL EDITION is presented with color pages on large-trim archival-quality paper.
