Just asking but why are Dakimakura covers so expensive?
Planning to buy the Chitose cover when Fakku offers it as my first Dakimakura.
It's a niche hobby and that's why they are priced to offset the costs of printing and the artists. Anytime you see a cover that is under $100 and from a Chinese or US website, you should do due diligence and make sure it's not a fake/copy. While the cheap(er) prices might seem tempting, I feel it's not right to rip off the original artists/printers.
Covers are also printed in smaller batches and sometimes become collectors items (for example I looked for a year+ for a specific Rin Tohsaka cover), so they go up in price really fast ($400 and up sometimes).

Ive been wanting to buy some... but yeah... I imagine it will become a hobby as bad as figure buying... and ill never survive it. lol And i dont even know where to get the appropriate pillows for it so if anyone knows where to get them, tell me so that i can proceed to my death. lol. Im ok with not surviving >.>The Dakimakura thread has a lot of information regarding this. It depends if the cover is 150cm, 160 or 170cm long.

spent $500 on some figures earlier this month... so need to save what little i have left. lol. but i should be fine... the books arent that expensive and we do get that discount.I know what you mean, just don't get into Dakimakura covers, adds up fast at 15k yen a piece.
At least the yen is almost 120 yen for a dollar, that helps a lot.

Super Secret Titikei book?
Can't wait for the uncensored fakku one, I already own the Japanese one, but some of the censoring is a little bit blah.

Sea shipping close to the Christmas season is always asking for trouble.
If you ship SAL or Registered SAL around this time, it sometimes takes two months to arrive, it's crazy. Any figures or Dakimakuras I order around this time, I always use EMS or DHL, unless I can wait a few months ;)
Not much you can do but wait, at least you did not have anything catastrophic like the boat disappearing in the Bermuda triangle with all the books.
Edit: Or give us a discount on buying goods like the towels or Dakimakuras, please, take my money, get these things over here!

Thanks for the update, glad to see everything is moving along.
Looking forward to purchase what other books are in the pipeline!
If I can comment on something, it's that you should really update on your progress or non progress a bit more, so people don't get restless (I myself was wondering why nothing was announced including a delay for the last week).

I tried Chrome/firefox/IE. CC/Paypal checkout works fine and proceeds to the payment page, coinbase just sits there on the preparing screen.

Has anyone been able to check out with coinbase/bitcoin?
It keeps getting stuck on preparing order for checkout when I try to finalize my order :(
