Well, I haven't heard anything about a different thing, considering they have different tracks - it's entirely possible that they'll release both in starter packs, but as of now, that isn't confirmed. The Grey one comes in a starter pack, and the other in the Beylocker.
We don't know quite yet. That was just speculation on everyone's part that Sol Blaze would get a release with the game, but personally I think it will get distributed through a movie event, much like Yu-Gi-Oh movies in the past with cards. If this happens, this will definitely help everyone here out finding bladers in their area.
But it's still unconfirmed whether or not Sol Blaze will see an America/Worldwide release. Hasbro still has to make it into Metal Fury next year, so I'm sure sooner or later it will get released as an attempt to keep Beyblade alive.
tl;dr
1. Nope.
2. As of now, no confirmed release.

He wasn't referring to launchers, he was just using it as an example, since he's heard that either versions can come in the starter pack.
How do I still have 17th most posts here...?
