Since I was little my family hosted exchange students from Asia. Every time we hosted a student we got all sorts of goodies; including some anime. The first anime I saw was "My Neighbor Totoro"; now that I think about it, the story doesn't center around a big furry... dust bunnie?, but around the family struggle. Anyway...
I've had Pocky, as well as other treats... I remember my favorite used to be the cookie koala's. I ate them until I got tired of them. They were filled with wither chocolate or strawberry. I also loved the expressions on them as well as their taste.

I like the strawberry ones the most!
Generally, if you have a Chinese supermarket or any Asian supermarket nearby, 99% chance that you will find Pocky in there.
Regular size: $1.50
Jumbo size(1 stick=1 regular pack): $8.95

I've not tried that many flavours of pocky but:
Pumpkin is one of my fave
European Strawb is too creamy for me
Men's Choco is pretty standard
hard and rich ones are nice. i like the crunch
Almond ones are nice too.
I think pocky can be quite stingy at times.... some only have 5 sticks in a pack. V_V
My favourite one so far is actually Chestnut Toppo - alternative brand of pocky where the coating is actually inside.
You can also get pretz, which is basically pocky with no coating in various flavours... usually savoury. I got some giant pretz - the texture is kinda different from normal ones.
I had some peas recently. I found the standard ones too plain so tried the wasabi ones. They were hot. A few peas and i felt it sting my tongue... by the tenth one i was having brains spasms and surrendered. :o

Lots of Pocky is really rare or no longer in print (always the good ones, like Melon, and Blueberry Cheescake!),
but Glico comes out with a new Pocky flavor once a year.
Another site that might have more flavors then AsianFoodGrocer is

I just stocked up at [somewhere i am not allowed to post] - suffice to say it is one of the popular 3 dvd stores that also does snacks. Flat rate shipping so i'm not holding back. Mostly candy i got since i can get pocky wholesale anyway through my friend.
Crap selection here in Scotland. They will tide me over till i visit London next month and stock up at the Japanese supermarket!

Pocky is everywhere here in Vancouver. Since we have a large number of asian residents, there has always been Pocky around me (being asian myself also helped). Since I'm asian, my parents always bought groceries at the asian supermarkets and that always meant I got Pocky or Yan Yan or some sort of delicious fruit jelly cup. I never ate alotta American/Canadian candy as a child. They even sold Pocky at my old high school's store. I love the Wasabi Green Pea's that someone above brought up, that and those little sea weed packets. They're both very good, but leave your breath smelling less than perfect.
I remember when I was younger, I'd buy the candy that came in a box with a gashaphon. They have them still, but now they're like $3.00 a box.
I'd never order Pocky from the internet. It's pretty expensive at the sites of seen them at. That and I have a store with an entire section dedicated to Pocky within a two block radius.
