I follow the scene in general, via the blog and a few other sites, but I make a habit of checking the sites of my favorite circles on a regular basis, just to see what's going on. Yeah, in my case, the covers I'm selling are either unopened covers I don't really have any interest in (a few company covers that I never opened), or covers I have doubles of that I don't really need them for (tons of Sena.) I do buy doubles occasionally, but it's usually for cases that I plan on using and want to have a backup for when the case eventually wears down a bit. I might eventually use one of the Sena cases if I buy a few pillows, but I don't think it's one I need a bunch of doubles for.
Toranoana is usually a preorder, but the main blog we use misses a ton of updates. They probably had a limited preorder window there, and we just missed it since it was never added to the blog. Hopefully Fei will decide to resell it at some point.
My main browsing is through the blog and Evening Call. Occasionally I'll look around Mandarake and Toranoana and very rarely Yahoo Auctions. I rely on the blog for everything not Evening Call. :P
Yeah, I hope it eventually will get a resell, but I'm not being too hopeful. :P

Thanks for the URL, that's a decent site. I do prefer the blog layout though as you get to see images of the cover without going to each item individually.

They are following various artists/circles on twitter, so if there's something new you get to notice it really fast. Also they push old entries with updates.
Just saw the Asuka artwork from Clesta...must have >.

Yeah, I do prefer the layout of the blog, though. http://www.nijigenshingu.info/ is also a really good site, too.
And Zengar, I've had it out on display, so probably not. :P

Thanks for the URL. That makes 3 sites to look through thanks to you and exokiel. :)

I also like http://www.game-style.jp/rensai/comike83/index.php?permission=true for seeing most of what the corporate booths has to offer at comiket

Yeah, nijigenshingu is awesome! Up until finding this thread, it was pretty much my sole source for dakimakura. ;)
Should be getting my Anko covers and that Tifa cover tomorrow. I hope.

Hmmm, let's see how this goes.
I put in a request to Evening Call to see if they'll add another Momo to my order. Not sure if they'll do that or if they'll just tell me to create a new order. Kind of hope I didn't complicate things since I haven't paid yet. So far just had the confirmation of price and now waiting for PayPal invoice. Usually takes a couple days so if I don't get anything in week I'll have to inquire again.
Pre-orders open until 27th, so I should have penty of time to get a few messages across. Just a little stressful with it being so slow. :P

Generally, they'll ship things that are releasing around the same time. I just create a new order every time I purchase something; once they tell me the entire total, they'll usually say whether or not the item will ship with anything else (and they'll combine shipping if that's the case.)
If you just added a comment to an existing order, I'd just add Momo to your cart, got through the order process, and in the note say that you'd like to combine it with an existing order if at all possible.

Got my Kimi cover, gorgeous :o The delivery was also ultra high speed. Shipped on 21. via Airmail and arrived today. That was faster than EMS.

This is probably the weirdest cover I've ever seen.
Anyway, no updates on what Marks and Anko is coming up with?

Nothing for Marks yet, but there are a few possibilities for Anko. Their website has a Rikka banner and they have a new Twitter profile image, which in the past has been shared with most of the dakimakura covers they've done.
Edit: There's a new post on Marks site (posted on Christmas), that looks like they won't have much for Comiket. Of course it's a Google translation, so I can't say how accurate it is, but it looks like they were too late in preparing for Comiket and won't have much this time around, but may have more near the beginning of the year, or something. Feel free to paste it in a translator and theory-craft yourself, but I guess we'll find out in a few days either way.

Wow, seriously, these pillows make awesome stuffing. They're the full 60", and the fact that they're somewhat flattened on each side means you don't get that little warped effect that most body pillows have. I took a quick few snapshots:

Thanks for the info. I'm actually adding it to my previous Momo order, so that's why I wasn't sure if they'd just add it within the order or had to create another order. I'll probably do what you suggested and create another order, but I'll wait a few days for their response first.
Basically I want 2 Momo, so we'll see how that goes. If I had paid for first order already I would create another order now like suggested, but still waiting on that PayPal invoice. It took about 2 days for them to send on my previous 2 orders and today is 2nd day, but with holidays I'm giving it until Friday next week before sending another email.

Glad the pillow is working out for you. It's a shame it's a bit on the small side. :<

Hopefully they'll invoice you with the total for two, but I'd imagine that you'll likely have to put in a second order anyway; even if they did invoice you for two, I'm not sure if they'd be able to manually change your order in their database or whatever so that they know to send you two. Like if when it comes time to ship things, they still see your order for only one, even though you paid for two, that would suck. But that's all speculation on how they invoice you anyway.
I had the opposite happen once. I ordered a cover that was in stock and a preorder cover; they shipped out the instock cover with an earlier preorder and then when they shipped the preorder cover, they included a second copy of the cover they had shipped out beforehand.
