I doubt either of the shops here in Houston carry them. Might ride around later and check. I know I saw Princess Mononoke at a trade event a several weeks back but the guy wanted $140 for it which was ridiculous. It's on Amazon for $70 bucks lol

Even used, this is pretty expensive online, but I found it locally for the reasonable-as-hell price of 10 bucks. Always wanted to read this. Seemed like a similar vibe to Akira, telekinetic powers and all that, but on a much, much smaller scale (an apartment complex rather than the whole of Tokyo).

Great buy. It's excellent. Big fan of Otomo here. You really should consider Otomo's other works too like the manga of Akira, which is much, much better than the anime, it's not even comparable, honestly. It's one of the best mangas in existence. His anthology collection Memories, which collects a lot of his short story works into one bundle is also definitely worth getting in the future. Some of those short stories are really, really good. He's surprisingly sharp with his satire and look at society. His artwork is distinctive (and sometimes phenomenally good), but I think I like his writing even more.
