But hope looms on the horizon...  According to:

<http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=422>

Astro Boy *has* been picked up for English R1 distribution by Right
Stuf.  And, while I can't find anything on Right Stuf's web site about it,
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they release the DVDs.

Right Stuf, even though they are a relatively new company in terms of
releasing their own stuff, does an excellent job with the titles I've
seen.  As for the old-school stuff, Right Stuf has already released
Gigantor on DVD.

But, other than that, unless you're willing to put up with
poorly-translated, "Region 0", Hong Kong or Taiwanese DVD bootlegs, I'd
wait for the official release. :)
