12. Online Japanese toy and hobby stores?

    July 18, 2010, 2:38 am

    Does anyone here speak Japanese or live in Japan? I am looking for an online Japanese store that sells toys, figures, books, dvds. I am NOT looking for an English website that sells Japanese toys. I've already checked almost all English stores online and can't find what I'm looking for. I need a online store that is based in Japan. What I'm looking for is Pokemon figures and toys. I've already tried Amazon Japan but they don't have it. If you could please list some online stores in Japan that sells toys then that would be great. They don't neccessarily have to ship international as well. I already have that covered. Thanks.
