No probs mate
Shipping is not too bad to Oz... not the best, but it's not outrageous. For 1 figure, it's probably around $10 US or thereabouts.
As for pre-order... that's not an option at all. Their Nov figures haven't been added to their site yet, but they will soon. The only way to get them is to log on at 12pm (ET) in the US (which is about 1:30/2am-ish our time) and try to battle the dreaded RSOD (Red Screen of Death!!).. which is not fun at all. If you've never ordered on Matty on a sale day, prepare for an experience like no other... one that may end with gut-wrenching disappointment if the figure sells out in under 2 minutes!
