Is there a section with the most up to date info on toy stores in Tokyo? I'm headed over there in a couple of days but as luck would have it, I'm leaving the day before the S7 Tour. Sucks. I am aware of the S7 Toy Store book but some of that info might be outdated. Help a brother out and any info on location and directions would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to hit as many stores listed on that S7 tour as possible. Thanks in advance.
you should really get the book. the book is extensive and most of those shops (from my understanding) are all in the same place still. also, using the search function here will give you a lot of results with store names and locations of shops. i can think of a few threads of a similar nature that have been posted very recently with a plethora of information. have fun on your trip.
A bunch of stuff has moved, the book is about 90% right currently. Changes you should note from the book. Secret Base and Erostika are now located in the shops above Bounty Hunter. Pook et Koop is now closed. Blister has moved from Shibuya to Akihabara in one of the alleys by behind the gap. Forest Gang is now closed. Mandarake Akihabara has moved to a new giant 8-story black building on the back left corner of the same block as the original store.
yeah, i think the only non-US stuff i remember seeing in there were a few bearbricks and medicom joints.
