Mitsuwa
 

I was watching a new Ranger Review special on it, and noticed there's one not to far from me in Illinois(An hour or 2). Does anyone know what you can find at them?

if it's anything like the one in Jersey, it's basically a strip mall that contains all things Japanese, bookstore, supermarket, toy store, etc. So you would find the candy toys in the supermarket area where they sell candies.

I wish we had something like this anywhere around where I live.

The one in illinois is great, BUT it doesn't really cater to the nerd. They USED to have a Massive toy section but the guy who ran it went crazy (literally) and it's no longer there.

What do they have in it related to Toku? I'm guessing Candy Toys are one, since Sentai Tamashii said they're at the NJ Mitsuwa.

not really, they do have candy toys, but nothing of much note. There is a large bookstore there as well, but again nothing directly toku dedicated.

Still it is a VERY nice place to go! but don't make the trip if your looking for Toku merch.

I love the one near my area! Gets candy toys AND SH Figuarts

When was the last time you went? Maybe things have changed :lol.
KamenRiderOOO just got me re-psyched up for what I could find there.

bout 3 months ago. but I got about twice a year and it's been that way for 3 or 4 years.

Should probably mention I live in California XD. Hope you can find some good stuff!

Dang, that sucks that this Mitsuwa is like that then. I thought I could go there, and at least get some Candy Toys. I only buy Kamen Rider or Sentai stuff when I find it in person. I'm not much of an online shopper.

Does anyone know if the one in Jersey has any good Sentai/Rider/TF stuff?

The one in Illinois is pretty barebones, not much there, definitely no toys but the grocery store is decent. There used to be a decent import store not too far away that sold import toys, but it appears that is gone now. The Mitsuwa in New Jersey is pretty damn fantastic though, I spent a crap ton of money there.

That video got me all hyped up at the possibility of getting things i've wanted. It sucks living near one, but it apparently not having any toys worth going for. Pretty disappointing. I'll still probably go look at the food.
Though, there aren't any places in illinois that sell?

There used to be a great place called J1 Toy off of Golf Road, but last I saw it was closed. Sucks too because the people that ran that store were awesome and they had some cool stuff, all import stuff. They usually showed up at Wizard World (or Chicago Comic-Con now) and had one of the few booths that carried all import stuff. Don't remember if they had much Toku though.

That's all I got unfortunately :(

No joke dude who owned went crazy! Its a wonder it stayed open so long with signs like "no browsing allowed" out front

What have people seen at their local Mitsuwa?

Last time I was at my local store I saw some various SHFs and Ultra-Actsin one of the side shops. The bookstore also had some of the TV magazines.
