Peace is correct: Sitchin's Nibiru is NOT due to appear this year. He doesn't give an exact date, but I believe the next passing is still several hundred years ahead. This is the primary reason why I ended up "championing" Sitchin's work after joining this site; I couldn't believe all the rubbish spewing from Leider & Hazelwood and the subsequent erroneous statements being made about the Sitchin paradigm.
