Here are the pack shots of the two I bought the other day. I have detailed shots of the covers, but need to size them still. I'll try posting them tomorrow.Spoiler:
Ah Momoyo and Erio, both nice :) And that's a lovely Patchouli Zengar!
Hmm checking boncool promotions I noticed they are giving free shipping to VIP members, and also have a deal that if you get 2 consignment covers you get 40% off a boncool one now. I got promoted to VIP status after making a single past order with them. So in the long run their prices aren't that bad perhaps. Though the part about free shipping is in japanese while the 40% deal is in english, so perhaps it only applies to japanese customer's orders (though it doesn't say such, and many other pages they have are only half translated too).
I was surprised how nice the Carnelian dakimakura was, turned into an instant buy which I wasn't expecting ;(

I prefer a front side/back side shot on a cover myself, over two front side shots. Especially since a lot of covers that choose to go two front side shots usually just go from more clothing to less clothing (the second link cover up there is an example.) But if I like the character/artist well enough, I'm usually willing to buy it anyway.Just requested an order from SMJ. :D
Should be lots of good stuff in it; my Dizzy and Alice from Evening Call, some good stuff from Argyle, and extremely cute Laura, and then some other covers I'm really looking forward too. (As well as two more makaizao figures, both of which should be better than my previous batch.)
Actually, I was sure that it was more then just about 2 front shots, the cover is the same on both sides except for the upper clothing positioning.
Anyway, it's sad that Sena I wanted to buy is exclusive to Taiwan only. And for that art style, which I'm not particularly found off(eyes are too small), I'm not willing to go through a deputy to buy it.
So last week, I place 2 orders from Evening Call's Sena.~_~
And as far as I know, Clochette has pussy juices for all their A and J releases, so I don't think that was ever an issue.
Did you mean this Sena? http://boncool.jp/sena-dtt.html BWStore doesn't sell it outside taiwan but boncool is (they don't include ems shipping cost in the price though unlike BWStore).
I'm not too fond of it when both sides are really similar like that, feel like I'm not getting my money's worth ;( Other than that it's a nice one too though yep!

I did thought of getting Serika but I gave up because I find her less busty then of the cast.>_< But she is wonderful though. Plus my habit of buying 2 of everything would kill me. Fuuka will be a must get and I'm still struggling on whether to get the mishio since it's 15k and I'm not even sure if it's going to be 2WT, since the previous boxes dakis were all smooth knit.
Yeah I normally tend more towards the more busty types too, but she was pretty irresistable! According to the tweets from AkibaSofmap (which I assume is their official tweeting alias since the dakimakura blog is linking them) Mishio is going to be 2way tricot this time so hopefully that will end up true, and also true for future boxes.
Hmm, Think I'll place an order for one copy of the box, since Mishio is a nice looking miko. Which is why I value my Hazuki so much, since she's also one.
Which cover you guys talking about?
Also, in effort to show, what I guess you could call "demand" stateside, I picked up a couple new covers that came packed in with the last couple issues of Dengeki G's Festival Magazine from a local Japanese book store. I'll post the pics later tonight. While only single-sided, they are pretty nice covers.
This one http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/7122 (the top 1 of the 2, if it wasn't obvious from the art style)
I quite like the dengeki ones in general, they've had some quite nice covers for a reasonable price.
Dunno if any of you have any orders with bwstore, but recently a bunch of their dakimakura got delayed as the OriginZero manufacturers had some kind of printer failure. It seemed for a while they were going to be swapping to AJ2way instead, but after contacting them today for date as to when the Sena dakimakura by sadakofxe circle would be released they told me it's been swapped to a new material instead. Anyhow here's the important content of the mail:
"And printing machine has malfunction last month.
And many customer feedback they hope we can provide the elastic fabric better than A&J.
Manufacture spend 2month to develop new fabric.
And has begun to resume production by use new OC01 2way poly elastic fabric last week.
New "OC01 2way poly elastic fibers" has better color performance.
More smooth than 4Way fabric when you touch it.
No longer exists the white color gap when you pull the OC01 2way poly elastic fabric."
So it's a new material which they think is competitive with AJ2way, will be interesting to see what it's like. Sena daki isn't expected to ship until 2012/1/20 now though, when it was originally meant to be end of november :(

Yah, makes sense. You've got any of the clochette dakis?
I have Serika (pink haired one), Chisa (dark purple haired) and Kaho (light purple haired) from Amatsu Misora Ni! And should have Kotoha (light blue haired) from Kamikaze Explorers arriving some time next week. Also planning to get the new comiket one of Fuuka, and also have ordered the sofmap clochette box for the Mishio (red haired one) cover too. Serika was the first one I got and absolutely fell in love with both the art, and the AJ2way material (it being my first of that type). Think she's the only one I have that you don't too (or at least I missed you posting her here), can check her out at http://www.figure.fm/post/en/33427/Dakimakura+Collection+14.html

Welcome aboard, really professional photography skills you've got do, I can't take pictures for nuts.You can see a portion of my collection if you start from the first page. Which ironically marks pretty much the first year anniversary since I've started this thread.
Well, for the clochette daki, I'm not sure that was the case for Hazuki Daki (the green hair girl) the price skyrocketed for another reason besides her popularity she was printed without the Clochette logo on the daki for whatever reason.
I'll see how it goes if it's a 1 or 2 k yen difference, I would most probably just go ahead.
Yeah I've had a look through the whole thread :)
Had a check on the dakimakura blog and Hazuki did get sold at the webshop too http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/3835 I guess the high price now is simply because it was long ago and due to the lack of logo as you say. All the other ones are gradually rising in price on YJA over the past few months too. Kanzaki Miyu (the other one going for 32,000+) also got sold at the webshop http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/3638 Wish I had known about it back then, both of them are out of my buying range now ;( But yeah, if you can pick up the blond girl straight after comiket for 11-12k it's worth it, just not if the prices get really high. Or could get one now and the backup one from the store later I guess.
Ah yeah that could be a problem ^^ Well, their last kanu one got delayed a few weeks in the end I think so maybe hope for the same again!1
The last few axia ones got sold by Amiami (minus the phonecard ofc though.. and it's a pretty damn nice one with this one..), which would mean deferring the payment til it's released in february.
There's a pretty awesome Sousou cover coming out from Axia soon too http://axia-info.com/makura/sousou.php which should be available for order soon (as well as at Comiket).
Hello everyone, I'd like to join this thread too if you don't mind! Lots of great stuff you guys have :) Can't believe you're crazy enough to buy 2 of everything when they're already so expensive. Wonder if I'll reach that stage one day too ^^;
I had already been posting my collection on figure.fm so I'll just give links to my posts there (I hope that's not a problem) as my upload connection is terrible (384Kbps) and reuploading them all here would take forever...

If you're patient, you can just wait til Clochette sell it through their webshop instead. The last 6 dakimakura (possibly more.. I've only been checking that long) they had for Comiket/DreamParty were all later sold through the webshop, so it's a pretty safe bet. They never sold out on the webshop, so it seems like they make as many as get ordered. It does mean waiting about 2.5months longer typically to get the dakimakura though.
