I already won the Asuna Dakimakura. I am thinking about getting the Accel World Kuroyukihime Dakimakura also but i am wondering this is my first time getting stuff from Comiket so i am wondering does anyone know about how long is Comiket stuff readily available on Yahoo Auctions Japan? If anyone could let me know I'd appreciate it thanks

**I always buy the LE for everything**

[Nico87]

Ano Natsu de Matteru would be so imported if only it had a retail box to store the volumes :( Can't pay 10k+++ just for a box, my brain won't allow it! I also have to take into account that I have pre-orders in for Tari Tari vols. 1 and 2 and Kokoro Connect vol. 1, and I've also pre-ordered some US releases like Black Lagoon, Steins;Gate, Serial Experiments Lain, etc. Also have Nadesico, Clannad (both seasons) and K-On! Season 2 collections in my purchase backlog..

Great haul, Damius :)

[Damius]

Great haul, Damius :)

Thanks. I would have never guess I would import like that just last year...

Before I wanted a release to have subs and an artbox to import.... after I wanted an artbox to import... Now I just need to love the show enough. In your case, it looks like you are at "need an artbox" to import. But for how long? ^^;

[Nico87]

Haha, indeed. I went from needs to be box set like Haruhi and Lucky Star + English subs + no BD outside Japan to buying single volumes without subs, but I really prefer to have artboxes!

I'm trying to limit myself to series with artboxes and 13 episodes max (plus any bonus episodes), but if Hyouka doesn't get licensed then bye bye money.
