Stores in Tokyo?

Anybody? From what I gathered there are the below stores in Tokyo worth checking out (at least for me).
Real McCoy's - 6-25-8 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001
Freewheelers - 2-31-3-1F Jingumae,Shibuya,TOKYO 150-0001
Any stores in Tokyo that carry IH stuff?

I'd hang in the Harajuku area…..

Whenever I used to take trips to Tokyo, my favourite store was Mandarake in Shibuya. It's a manga/anime/model shop with all sorts of cool vintage stuff from the early days of kaiju movies and whatnot. Plus it's down in a musky basement, which is fun in itself.
150-0042
Shibuya BEAM B2 floor
Udagawa-cho 31-2, Shibuya-ku, TokyoOf course, non-geeks/nerds need probably not apply for that one
The coolest stuff about Tokyo for me, though, was not the shops at all. It was wandering around and finding little gems. Remnants of yore. The anachronistic, wire-strewn alleyways hidden within a gleaming future.

every store is brilliant in japan and worth walking into. i always find small shops and huge malls really interesting in the shibuya and harajuku area. it's even worth popping into aoyama or shinjuku or even ueno.. i could go on.. but at the end of the day, it really depends on what you're looking for/into and how much time you have. you can't really go wrong in tokyo..

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but Tokyo Hands is really fun!

Is Mandarake the store with something like 2 or 3 sublevels? I'm sure i've been there before and I concur, very cool store

If you're a music fan there are tons of great record stores throughout the different districts. I'm a fan of Disk Union which is a chain store. They have a great selection of genres on vinyl and cd, good prices, and their stuff is always in immaculate condition.

Yes definitely am a vinyl fan! Will need to check it out to see if I can find some albums that I have been looking for.

Just been doing a little research, and there's a few different Mandarake stores in Tokyo now, so what you're describing could well be one of them. The Akihabara one apparently has 8 freakin' floors! I just used to go to the basement one in Shibuya, cos Shibuya's kinda cool and I didn't know about the other ones.
