Cartoon Gallery is located in Sydney in Imperial Arcade on Pitt St ^_^ all the details are on the website. They don't always have Atom stuff, usually the Dark Horse manga) in but if you go to the website and browse the catalogue you can order stuff in, or email the owner with some product info he will be happy to look for it ^_^

Kinokuniya
Bookstore in Sydney on George St opposite the QVB. Once you find the manga section ^^; there are HEAPS of the Dark Horse release English Atom manga there ^___^

They have a LOT of Atom stuff. T-shirts, figures, keychains, etc etc. Be careful of the DVDs tho and some merchandise, i think there are a few bootleg things in there. Great shop tho

hmmm...thats all that comes to mind for Sydney....oh! The other week i was in the Broadway Shopping centre (in Broadway on Parramatta Rd in Sydney). And on the top floor near the cinema entrance was a shop of which the name escapes me (had clothes and toys and junk and cards i think....like a Granny Mays store) but it had some Atom T-shirts....some looked a little dodgey ^^; but some were cute ^___^ expensive tho ^^;;;

Hope that helps!

I went Astro shopping in Syndey and found this page to be very useful:

I mostly checked out George St, which runs up from the Sydney Opera House docks area. There were also a few malls and manga/anime stores not listed, so it's good to have a wander through all the shopping centres. I found one store that was unlisted and it had a huge range of Astroboy figurines - everything from keyrings to 50cm tall Astro models. I think it was near the Kinokuniya book store, which also has some Astroboy stuff.

Thanks. i'll have to check it out.
do u know what the prices are like. expensive or fairly good??

Pretty decent from what I saw, but most of the items I saw didn't stand out as particularly exciting. There's better stuff on e-bay. Still, it's worth seeing what's in the stores.

i just brought a six inch figurine off ebay. it ended up to be about $22.05 including postage. so that wasnt to bad.
i also got a handbag today. i was just walking about and they had them. they didnt have anything else with him on it tho but it was only about $10.

this girl that i know who is japan atm, sent me a little notebook. and a mirror with a picture of astro on the back.. its funny cause the astro pic on the mirror says " happy new year 1967"
