Swift and traceable but not through AusPost, usually through the country of origin's postal website as AusPost are thoroughly hopeless with tracking their own mail/packages, let alone foreign items. ;)

EMS still goes through Auspost when it arrives in the country, so can go to PO Boxes or home addresses. But like Hursticon said, tracking will always be through the website of the source.
The only ones that don't go through Auspost (and generally wont ship to a PO Box) are courier companies, like UPS (USPS does though, so be aware of the difference if you have a choice).
I was looking on tfw2005.com at a gallery of DOTM toys and noticed there's a deluxe class Optimus but on the DOTM guide book there isn't one. Is this a mistake or Japan only release?
The guidebook is not a catalogue of all the DOTM toys that are going to be released. There is a Deluxe Optimus Prime, but it is not yet known for exactly when it is scheduled.
The Deluxe Optimus is listed as a Walmart exclusive in America, which is unusual for a new mould to be a store exclusive. The mould should eventually be released in the general line, but might be a while, and is likely to be different colouring. I dont think too many are upset about it though, as there are plenty of Optimus toys for TF3, and Deluxe size isn't a good scale for that character.
Not sure if this helps, but I've posted comparison pics of G1 and HA Spike here
Not per se, but it is interesting to see that the HA humans are about the same size as Headmaster Nebulans (and by extension slightly smaller than your average Minicon) so cheers anyway.:)
Basically the thought occurred that with DotM HA toys and MP10 including a HA Spike it looks like the HA angle is becoming quite a bit more widespread, so I got to wondering how an Alternity Bumblebee paired with his soon-to-be-released best friend Spike would work (since the molds already exist and they're both pretty iconic G1 characters). I seem to recall Alternators being a bit too large to totally work with the HA 'Deluxe' figures, but I've never seen an Alternity 'Bee in person or in box and so don't know how it'd work with the MP Rodimus-sized new MP Optimus and/or the existing HAs.
If HA Spike works with Alternity 'Bee I might have to pick one up sometime.
Well basing it from the sizing pic Gok showed, I tried to see (using G1 headmaster ) would look well with alternity Bbee. Side by side it would look well size wise, just dont know if HA fig will fit in ALt Bbee in carmode coz the headmaster fig is kinda bulky and squarish and wont fit basically, but with the more poseable, bendable HA figs it might.. Ill see if I can take some pics... I just dont have the patience transforming Alternities:p atm
does anyone have better pictures of Takara DA08 Sideswipe?
I ordered one, but im not sure how improved the paintjob is, i really hate the nasty grey they used for the hasbro version - especially moreso after seeing these sexy pics - http://jalopnik.com/5802206/transfor...eswipe-gallery
