I bought it pre-soldered from an eBay seller. I specified the wavelengths and CCT's I wanted, what quantity, and where on the board they would go. She soldered everything for me, suggested a driver, and shipped everything out in a timely fashion. All I had to do was solder the driver to the mcpcb and attach it to a "heat sink" (1/4 size baking sheet pan piggy-backed with some cheap extruded Aluminum heat sinks bought off eBay).
I don't believe soldering LED's to the mcpcb requires reflow. A dab of thermal grease on the underside of the LED, place LED, solder contacts, done. If we're talking about Cree, or some of the Osram's, however, then yeah, you'll need to reflow.
