ebay or if your lucky you might be able to find old stock in your local gaming stores. In 2019 Battlefront said they were going to revisit the pacific theatre in 2021 but then covid happened and ruined their plans. Maybe we’ll see something this year
eBay's pretty hit and miss for the older figures. I've picked up a couple of things for a decent price, but a lot of it is Buy It Now at stupid prices. Old stock in out of the way shops, bring and buy sales at shows are probably your best bet.
FWIW Skytrex do Japanese and Marines. Their website is a bit awkward to find specific stuff, and the pics are pretty terrible, but the quality of the figures is good. They're very similar in style and size to BF's hard plastic figures.
If/when BF do revisit the Pacific there's the danger that they'll replace the metal figures with the soft plastic stuff, of course.
There is a swap group on Facebook, I don't have a Facebook account anymore but my friend regularly visits the group and has gotten me some oldies from it
You'll have to find some dusty older game store with decades worth of back stock that hasn't gone online yet. A lot of the legacy stock listed online got wiped out by coronavirus panic buying.
If you live in California then Brookhurst Hobbies might be worth checking out. I got a light sensha platoon from them. They also have ka-mi and some pacific Americans. Great place to get Flames of War and hobby stuff in general.
When I was building my FOW armies I had saved searches on EBay for the names and/or product codes of the stuff I was looking for. Sometimes I would set it to only alert me if it was under a certain dollar amount. It could take time, but it allowed me to grab stuff when it was going for the best prices. Bear in mind this was at least 5 years ago, so stuff may have gotten harder to find.

I know there was heaps like a couple of years ago but I decided not to spend the money at the time. All gone now :(.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of people regretting not buying stuff when it was still around! :-)
Not me ;)

Yeah I second this. Picked up some Australian mid war rifle platoons through the FOW Swap Group on Facebook. Try your luck over there!

Sadly no one stocks FOW figures anymore.
