By the way...can anyone explain why Australia is such a hot-bed of Astro Boy fans? I would bet that Australia is second only to Japan. The whole '80s release never made it State side. Perhaps Astro was the first incarnation of the Crocodile Hunter?

Yeah, it was the showing of the 80s series I think. It was broadcast 11 times from 1982 to 1991. Everyone saw it and knows about it, even if they're not fans.

I bought a tape of the 60s series a couple of years ago and had it converted to PAL format at a local tape dubbing shop. Even they remembered Astro from the 60s.
