Switch Junimo catalogue not showing up in travelling merchant's stock after 1 in game year

I've been checking the travelling merchant's cart every Friday and Sunday for an entire in game year, but the Junimo catalogue has not shown up once. Not at the Night Market, or desert festival, however I have seen the retro catalogue over 10 times. Which I think is supposed to have the same 10% chance of showing up in stock. I've seen the joja mart catalogue once, but no junimo catalogue. I've been playing a lot since the new update came out and ended up cycling through a whole in-game year decorating my house and farm with the new items. I just need the junimo catalogue to finish it. Originally, I did not think it was a bug, just bad luck, until I noticed the bug in the raccoon shop, (which I made a separate post about) which lead me to believe this may be a bug as well. Thank you!
 
I am not disproving that it is not a bug for you, but my personal experience was that all the catalogues do show up eventually for me with the Traveling Merchant.
The Joja one took over a year and a half and was the longest for me. Whether or not there is a bug with the probabilities, I cannot attest, but if your goal is just to get the Catalogue, it may be possible still!

I do know however there are idiosyncratic behaviors between saves in ways I don't know why (for some, divorcing crashes their games, but for mine it doesn't, for example).
Again, this doesn't take away the point that there may be a bug, and if the developers should look into it, but in the meanwhile keep looking in the Cart! It just may show up eventually!
