Site is loading fine but no buttons to buy. I just want the Mother 2 cast cover!
They're on the item pages underneath where you select Sunday or Monday.
Might only be the Japanese site, though.

Pfffft, Japan.
You can change to the Japanese site, add them to cart, then switch back to English. Might not be able to change the country after that, though.
Edit: Yes! Took so long to get through the shopping cart, though. Was worried it would be sold out by the time it finished.
It became available again for a moment.
So what's the deal with those ones that say "ON SALE OCT".. If they all ship in December anyway then why can't we pre-order those the same as the ones that are up now? Like what is the difference for them to not be on sale yet?
If I wait until october to order the cover I like the planners themselves will still be in stock, yes?

You can add the cover to your existing order before it has shipped.
Is that true, that the planners don't ship until December? It says 1 - 7 business days in my order.

Yes, got the Mother 2 cast cover! Jesus, that was painful.
Why don't you get the Saturn Valley + book set instead of each separately? You'll save some money.

I calculated to make sure, and it was the same price. Plus, I wanted the Techo avec (which comes as a set of two books) rather than the plain one.
Cool, so I order the planner itself now, and then come October I can order the cover I want and it will add it to the same shipping order?
PSA: Mother 2 Cast is in stock. "Last 10." Edit: Gone already.
Ah, I understand. But the set is about 200円 cheaper.

That's because the "avec" variant is about ~200円 more expensive, but I'm willing to try something new for that price, I guess. (I wished they made MOTHER covers for the Cousin.)
Also, last year, I ordered it in October and I think I got it around Christmas time. So I guess they do ship in December...
Yes, assuming the planner doesn't ship before then.
When you add the cover to your shopping cart, you will be able to see your unshipped past orders. The option to "merge" the item into that order displays underneath the order. I was able to do it successfully this morning, to merge the Cast cover into my original Saturn Valley + book order.
Gotcha, thanks

argh, I can't even get through checkout
If you keep refreshing the Cast page, you'll see it come into stock again eventually. You have to be fast, though. It looks like they anticipated this sort of demand and are dripping it into the system to give latecomers a chance to own it.
Edit: Just saw the cover saying "Last 20." Refreshed and it was down to "Last 1." Refreshed and it was gone. Refreshed again and the cover + book set was available (last 20) again. Go get it!

It's slower than molasses right now.
It was there for me. And then it wasn't. But then it was.

I remember last year they kept restocking covers periodically. As long as you don't wait and order during this ~four month period before they ship you should be able to get everything you want.
They're pretty good about their stock.

I'm gonna try in the morning; can't even get an order through atm
I'd like to know this too. If they are sent soon then I should just wait until October to order the cover at the same time.

I love NeoGAF. Literally the only site in the world where you can have people lacking about the Ramadan, The Last of Us, and the Hobonichi Techo.
I only know what this is thanks to this great Earthbound retrospective (that was made before EB launched on VC). First part is a review. The incredible almost short film documentary starts at 10:30. He speaks of the Hobonichi 30 seconds after that mark:

I ordered the Cast cover for the Mid-October shipment along with some Memo pads. Looking now, I'm not really sure why I bothered to stay up till 4:00AM trying to get this, since both the English and Japanese planners are still in stock and the website isn't completely being swamped. The Saturn Valley cover which I managed to get is out of stock, but I'm sure it will come back. No way I'm doing this again.
Shame there's no English version of the A5 Cousin
I'm okay waiting until November-ish to buy a 2016 Cousin, right? No sense in spending $75 for something I can't use until January 1. Unless you guys know anywhere that sells the 2015 Cousin ...

It's been so long since I ordered my Techo I forgot how to order it. I want an A6 English Planner, right? That'll fit into my Onett cover?
Or Saturn Valley cover if I order a new cover this year.
Yep set my alarm for 3 and didn't get back to sleep till 5, I'd also quit by this point. (Loads of errors, session timeouts from slow loading)
