A very large toy store in Tokyo had 5x5x5 cubes last February.
Try writing to
	Toypark
	8 8 11, Ginza
	Chuo Ku
	Tokyo 100
	Japan

(Note re Japanese street numbers: 8 8 11 refers to the section,
block number, and house number in the Ginza section of the
Chuo district of Tokyo.  Houses are numbered in the order
thy are built; blocks and districts are numbered -- I think --
right to left and top to bottom -- or somesuch.  Makes finding
something given its address an NP complete problem.)

PS: The mechanics of the 5x5x5 are intresting, but I haven't
dared to scramble/solve it.  I think most of the 3x3x3 tricks
should work.
