Nah, Guam probably goes through US S@H, being on the US postal
route. :(
Anyways, 2001 sets have shown up in Leiden (Netherlands) which,
while not Australia, is pretty remarkable--last year it took a
very very long time for them to appear on this side of the Pond
from the US. This time I think the lag was two weeks, at most.
So anything's possible.
As for prices, well, dunno--the standard prices of sets are
the same this year as last, the difference being that USD are
worth enough for them to be roughly equivalent (not in the UK).

I'm in rough agreement with your assessment--I expect to see a huge
range of colours, but really only bricks, plates, and slopes--maybe
some angled plates--at first.

Really? Good omen!
