Seeing big price drops on the "2012" SM-BB6700, and not finding that BB on Shimano's website under the Ultegra components.

What gives? A new version for 2013?

2013 Shimano was announced about 6 months ago, with Tourney, Sora and Dura Ace being the big changes, Ultegra has had some color changes over the last couple of years but should be due for a revamp in 2014, so it should be announced by May / June 2013 at the latest.

For the SM-BB6700, it's on the techdocs site here http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/Ultegra/SI_1LM0A_001/SI-1LM0A-001-ENG_v1_m56577569830671289.pdf

If you look at the main Shimano site http://bike.shimano.com/, they don't list bottom brackets for 105 either. or have Tiagra 4600 up yet
