 Forest Gang address? / General Japan Toy Store Inquiries. Hey Guys,
Going to make another trip to Japan in the next couple of weeks.
Does anyone know of Forest Gang's new address?
(I heard they moved). I picked up a recent issue of Hobby Japan, and I could not find any advertisements from them.
Also does anyone know if the Magic Boxe's are still around?
(Didnt see ads from them either, but I still have their old address)
I already plan on visiting the aforementioned plus mandarake, astro zombies, marmit store, third uncle, remember cloud, nakano broadway mall, etc.
Any other must see Toy Shop suggestions for new / vintage vinyl / diecast? for the Tokyo / Osaka area that I might be missing?
Thanks.

There's a Bounty Hunter shop in Osaka - I think it's still there.
Mandarake is fucking incredible. Lots of rad vintage vinyl.
Have fun!

You're welcome, I hope those help you. Did you get enough info about Forrest Gang, though? I found a page for them here:

Regarding Forest Gang: I was actually going to email Masato Shono and ask for a current address, but it looks like you did the work for me already. Thanks Roger! 
I still need to contact Masato regarding a couple of seperate issues anyways, so I might as well just confirm through him that the address posted on the site is current. The address looks familar (i.e. their old address), so maybe they did not move, which would be great because I know exactly how to get there if they did not.
I got seriously lost trying to find them the first time and had to get a policeman to help me find it

I totally forgot about that. They did move about two years ago. I'm sure Masato Shono will be able to confirm the location for you.
