I'm going to Chicago in September for the Touch & Go 25th anniversary show. Anyone else going? Any stores I should check out in the area? |

There used to be a great kaiju/general horror store NW of the downtown, called House of Monsters. Thsi was about 2 years ago, though, so I don't know it it's still there. http://www.insiderpages.com/search/deta ... X7sTimhH3w Rotofugi is not too far from there. I'm not into alot of the stuff there, but some of it is cool. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1953+W.+C ... oc=A&hl=en If you're out near Arlington Heights (not all that far from O'Hare) there is a store on Golf Rd. called JPGifts that has newer kaiju. |

Yeah, House of Monsters is gone... There is J1 toys in Arlington Heights on Golf Rd (used to be in Mitsuwa but now in a separate strip mall location...mostly Godzilla etc... The Mitsuwa is really cool for us midwest folks. Cool JP bookstore, grocery store, and food court. Definitely worth a stop for lunch if you're out there. Here's that info: 100 E. Algonquin Road, Arlington Hts., IL 60005 (847)956-6699 9:00AM - 8:00PM |

I was by J1 Toys ( was JP Gifts) a few days ago and on the window it said open for limited sales only, not sure what that meant. Perhaps pushing more items through their website now I dont know. |

If you go to Reckless Records drop around the corner to Quimby's Bookstore at 1854 W. North Ave. A great comic store is Chicago Comics at 3244 N. Clark St. I think J1 Toys is probably selling more on eBay than through the store at this point. |
