I see that there are three volumes available at madman in Australia. http://www.madman.com.au/actions/catalogue.do?releaseTypeId=3&webChannelId=1&sortKey=3&method=browse&pager.offset=10
You guys think these will ever show up in North America. That would be awesome if that were to happen

I think Dr. Frag has them, although I cannot speak for him.

Yes, and I have to admit I haven't read them yet. They read back-to-front, although the pages are a little bit cropped (someone posted a comparison a while ago but I can't remember who).

I'm pretty sure Madman ship internationally, although the back cover says it's for sale and distribution only in Australia and New Zealand.

There always seems to be some on EBay, if you search for Astro Boy Manga and dig through the Dark Horse and Now Comics editions. Like here (I am not affiliated with this auction or EBay member).

I bought the 2nd and 3rd volumes from EB recently. They're pretty good, I recommend them :D
I also just recently ordered the first one from madman.com.au, but it hasn't come yet. I hope it comes soon!

Yup! I was looking in ther one day and I found them. It said on the back they were $14 each, but turned out I only had to pay $7 for each! Electronics Boutique sure have good bargains. I also got a Tetsuwan Atom collectors statue from there as well. Pretty good price at $130. :astro: :tenma:
