CO have just this week started accepting Australian retail orders, but I don't know if they'd accept trade orders -- possibly not. Might not hurt to ask... then again, it might... it's kinda hard to say.
Buzz is also saying their US trade terms for the most recent waves were better than their UK trade terms, such that it was cheaper for UK retail purchasers to buy from the US and pay the airmail. Something else to keep in mind.
Also, they've just reined in some folks who were publically associated with CO (both internal and external), who were until very recently sharing information (embargoes and etc notwithstanding) and generally being present on the online collector's scene.
Time will tell what the connections between all of these are. But something's afoot.
Oh, and there's a guy with contacts in the Asian manufacturer's factory who's flogging stuff on eBay -- including prerelease and other odd goodies.
