Dakimakuras anyone?

Absolutely. Really need to pay for all the stuff SMJ is holding for me, so I can get her and all my other goodies of the last few months. I'm mostly holding out for the Marks order, but I might be half tempted to request shipping on everything else first. That just seems silly to me considering it should arrive soon, though.

Edit:

The Clesta cover is back in stock at Mandarake, if anyone is still considering it.

What is Belvoir material? That's the one material you guys have never mentioned about before.

I haven't the slightest idea. Never used it myself, and the manufacturer isn't listed. Looking the material on the dakimakura blog, only one other circle has used the material (at least going by the search results that came up) and I don't own any of their covers.

From What I know , it's a type of Microfiber material then has one of the most legendary feel(Not exaggerated mine you). Because it's fluffy.0_o'''

Also probably the major reason that not many offer that as a material choice is because how ridiculously pricy it is.Like anything made of fleece.

Think I just did something stupid, I just ordered a cover from Mandarake with no idea how it looks like.

I tried though, but it's impossible to find any images for it, because it had to be a stupid secret sales.>_>

I wouldn't be too worried, tbh. I love Argyle's stuff, and their secret Miku turned out alright. Best you can find is the outline, which doesn't really give you enough to know if it will be a good cover, though.

You didn't really do anything too stupid... when I put in the special order for the Clesta cover on Mandarake, I included the Luka going for 16800. The Clesta cover sold out, but they ordered the Luka cover. So after proxy fees, you got a much better price than I did. It's definitely worth noting that this cover hasn't been getting bids in the 12-14k range, though... and I've seen buyouts as low was 14/15k. So it may have been cheaper to use a proxy. D:

I only saw one from Uddy Poko at 15k bid. And, I would have payed about 1 k yen more for it.
And, I grabbed it from Mandarake because I also grabbed this as well.

Yeah, I just checked and there aren't many up now. I haven't checked in a few days, so either the sellers got tired of listing them and stopped, they all sold out, or a mixture of both. Last I checked, there was 5-6 listings up, all in the 12-15k range.

I picked up a Marks cover the other day (the red haired chick they sold at C81, I think) and was tempted to add some other stuff to my order, but an 18k cover was enough spending for the day.

That Aries-soft one is getting a re-release web order currently too, so for those (if anyone else is interested in it, imo it's a very nice one - mine is sitting in Yokatta atm..) willing to wait you can get it at: https://e-shoprussell.jp/pen/index.php?category=67#category

Hmm, I'll check again for Luka, I'll need to see what material the Mandarake's Luka is, I'm looking to get 1 Roica and 1 2WT for sleeping.

Red hair chick C81? Marks?
Why do I not know of this!?





Cool, I'll grab a 2nd copy. Looks like I got about 2 weeks of time before it closes.
So many covers, so little time.>_>

I majority I saw on YJA were 2WR, but the blog says it sold in both 2WR/2WT. It's unfortunate that Mandarake sucks so much at listing materials. D:

And it's not a true red, but it's definitely a shade of red: http://blog-imgs-36-origin.fc2.com/m/a/r/marks2006/009898.jpg

I guess pink or purple would work too... but I'm a guy, so my way of describing colors is quite limited. I picked up the chick in the middle, regardless of how you would describe her hair color (I'm still going with red.)

I just received my Kobato + Maria cover yesterday, and I'm going to wait for my late May shipment to come in and than post up everything.

I have a question about SMJ. Usually when you win an item and they finally pay the seller and receive the item. Do they just automatically ship it to your storage location or do they wait for a payment from you first?

They ship it to their storage facility, whether you pay immediately or wait the full 14 days.

Ah, cool. Thanks! That means my Raika cover will actually sit in my parcel box if I'm not home to pick her up!

Ah, sorry, I may have misunderstood the question. They won't ship it to you until they've paid. But after they receive the item in Japan, they'll ship it to their US facility and keep it there until you pay. Sorry for getting your hopes up if that's what you were asking. :(


Edit: For everyone who got an order in, it looks like our Marks stuff will be shipping out in the next week or two.

This upcoming takumimakura cover has me instantly won over ;< http://ww.nijigenshingu.info/makura/img2012/sasahiro.jpg

wtf?? i thought it was gonna be mid-may?! that's some bullshit lol

Eh, that's close enough to mid-May for my liking. You know this stuff never seems to be in on time... and if you really wanted to complain, you should point out that the original ship date was supposed to be in April. :P
I'm personally hoping for another week or two, myself. I owe a good amount to SMJ currently, and don't have the money to pay. ^^

Do want.

Ah, it's working fine for me. But here it is:
