Hmm...depends where you're from. I don't know of any major stores (in Oz) selling Astroboy merchandise (other than the animated series). If you were looking for the manga, I'd suggest a comic book store. As for other things (like keychains, plushes, etc)...everything I find here (in ACT) are in specialist shops that deal with anime, or from the various small toy shops owned by asian families (since they get quite a lot of stuff direct from overseas and usually have a wide range of asian related goods). I saw some pretty nice stuff a month or so ago during market day at uni (lots of tshirts, bags and stuff)...but that's about it. I saw some cute Uran keychains in a store yesterday (gotta buy it
)
Otherwise, you'll find plenty of stuff online.

Yeah, eBay's the place for Astroboy stuff. Unless you live in Japan.

Or Australia.
Poor Atomu just aint that prevalent in the propaganda here. I tie, a few socks, some t-shirts from the markets etc.. thats about it, really.
Unless you know the right places to haunt that is. I for one don't have the option to haunt anything, seeing as how I live in the sticks and all.
Its ok tho, as i am sure if there was anything I particularly wanted my fellow aussies who are in the major cities could help me out, right buddys?

Sydney also has a few anime shops along George St (I think) in the city with Astroboy stuff. Between the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. No, not the watery bit.
Adelaide has some stuff in Central Market and Station Arcade. Mostly crappy trinket stuff, some Manga.
