I guess crafts, journaling and scrapbooking are not really typical male pursuits.
It's true, but it's funny because the first thing I've always associated with journaling is Indiana Jones

I decided I needed an agenda to get my life together so I took the plunge and it's like $75 Canadian for a Saturn Valley cover + English techo.. 
(((
Even worse is I don't know what will happen with customs/duties.
Ooh, and I just noticed now that the Saturn Valley cover has a Mad Duck print inside the outer pocket probably. While the cast cover doesn't have an outer pocket! I think I've made the right choice. The more pockets, the merrier!

I received confirmation which says that my order can no longer be amended since it is being prepared for shipment and that it will ship between September 2 to September 6.
I ordered the Saturn Valley cover + book set and the Mother 2 Cast cover.
EDIT: Just received another email which says it was shipped today. It includes a tracking number, which confirms that it is on its way! Will expect this to arrive tomorrow or Friday since it's coming from Chiba, which is very close to Tokyo.

Woah really? SO SOON?!
Maybe that means I can expect mine soon then?
Possibly, but it looks like you put in your order after it was re-stocked so you might be getting one from the second batch (October or so). Keep an eye on your email, I guess!

I'm pretty sure they charged me right away for the October order, but my credit card transaction list hasn't updated yet so I can't be 100% sure.

Anyone else use their hobo for drawing?
My line work has improved so much thanks thanks to my hobonichi.

My order shipped and went through the major sorting facility here in Chicago in about a day. It's currently in transit to it's location, which should be my local post office. So I should have it tomorrow.
Ordered last night, after a day of intense deliberation.
With my 2015 Original, I pretty much sprawl whatever/wherever, which makes it a weird mix of reflection, work stuff, creative, and self loathing. So with 2016, I'll have the hobonichi dedicated to daily journaling and cool stuff, and I'll be setting up a Leuchtturm Medium (roughly A5) for all productivity/work related stuff.
Is anyone using two hobonichi's to keep work/school separate from personal stuff? I would really like to, but can't justify it knowing I'll have a ton of unused pages....

My Hobonichi 2016 planner and Mother 2 Cast cover arrived! Absolutely love the new cover, the red is so nice.
Disappointed with the bookmark, I thought it was one solid bookmark that was transparent with the characters, but each individual character is a sticker. Oh well.

Are they stickers? I for some reason thought they were cutouts so they could hang on the pages..

They're plastic strips with adhesive, so they can be used on different pages. I probably won't use them.
and did it?

Yeah, but I got a letter requiring me to pay a £20 fee before they released it for delivery. Got it now though. Very nice.
ouch! what was the fee breakdown? edit: and what did you order
Porcile
Member
Import VAT - £6.78
Clearance Fee - £13.50
I ordered a Techo and cover which come to 6700 yen with shipping. So in total I paid £56 :-(

..I may try and change shipping and get someone abroad to post it on to me
Where from? You still might have to pay the customs tax even if it's someone else sending it for you. Assuming you're posting to the UK that is.

Haha - your own personal international courier!
The blue tissue holder (?) and the pen were free goodies. I should have the Mother 2 Cast cover and some memo pads coming in October. I have to say the Saturn Valley cover is a tiny bit muddy in terms of colour saturation, but it's still very nice. I think I still prefer the Onett cover though.

is it a bit weird that you got this new package and thing, but now cant really use it properly till january?
well mines just been dispatched. turned out from the errors at launch, I had 2 incomplete orders in the system, so they cancelled my new one and processed one of those, so dont have to wait till mid oct! now just to face the horrendous handling fee >.>

I went with the cousin A5 book and a very plain black cover. Used the cousin for years and could never go back to the smaller size. Whatever you get you are in for a treat. Biggest surprise for me was ordering here in Japan still attracted shipping costs. In the day of free shipping as a given I was shocked at the 730 yen charge.
Pretty sure I've been pinged :/ at my parents so have to find out how much

I think these were the back to school version. Could be wrong.
Yeah if I remember correctly from last year, the charge happened when it was processed. not when it was shipped.
by pinged, I mean customs charges. definitely been hit but the ransom card hasnt arrived yet.

How long does it take for the customs card to arrive? I'd pay the fee right now if I could.
