Title: Dan's Spare Bits Giveaway 2015
Post by: danisthirty on April 02, 2015, 03:12:52 AM
Happy Easter!  :)

Just over a year ago I gave away a load of my spare Carcassonne bits to members of the Carcassonne Central community ("Spare bits to give away (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=607)"). Now I intend to do the same thing again, so here's the list of what's up for grabs:

(http://www.dan.tehill.net/CarcBits.jpg)

  • Item #1: Cult, Siege & Creativity – Boxed (brand new – never been opened) (claimed by kettlefish - RECEIVED)
  • Item #2: Die Belagerers/ The Besiegers (brand new – still in frame) (claimed by Paul - RECEIVED)
  • Item #3: Die Belagerers/ The Besiegers (brand new – still in frame) (claimed by yimhj - RECEIVED)
  • Item #4: Die Belagerers/ The Besiegers (brand new – still in frame) (claimed by CarcinFool - RECEIVED)
  • Item #5: Phantom – Red Case (includes phantoms in 5 colours, NO PURPLE) (claimed by yimhj - RECEIVED)
  • Item #6: Phantom – Yellow Case (includes phantoms in 5 colours, NO PURPLE) (claimed by Rosco - RECEIVED)
  • Item #7: River 2 – Boxed (German edition – never been opened) (claimed by Chooselife - RECEIVED)
  • Item #8: River 2 – Boxed (German edition – never been opened) (claimed by Jere - RECEIVED)
  • Item #9: Set of Trade Tokens (standard ones that come with "Traders & Builders") (claimed by quevy - RECEIVED)
  • Item #10: 12 x Wooden Bridges (standard ones that come with "Bridges, Castles & Bazaars") (claimed by SRBO - RECEIVED)
  • Item #11: Blue Meeple Keyring
  • Item #12: Green Meeple Keyring

As a result of the items above being claimed, the members who have claimed them are now offering the following:


Everything is free (including postage), but there are two conditions if you'd like something:  ;)

1) You intend to provide a good home for whatever you get from me and won't attempt to sell it on eBay or whatever.  C:-)
2) You have something (anything - irrespective of monetary value) relating to Carcassonne that you too can give away to someone else via these forums. It's entirely up to you what it is as long as it's worth owning so please be generous and use this as an opportunity to share your love of this wonderful game by helping others to expand their collections too.  O:-)

Anyone may request any single item by replying below with the item number from the list. If someone requests the same item before you, feel free to claim something else instead (especially if there's more than one of the same item but with different numbers). Only one claim per person please, unless there's still stuff left after a week in which case anyone can claim whatever's left.

Enjoy!  :(y)

Hi danisthirty,

I like the item#1 - Cult Siee & Creativity.

I have to look - perhaps I have a "Wind Rose" and in the next days I have the Castles in Germany.

Thanks also for the link to your list of free stuff!

I'm interesting with these items (only one, as you want) :
Item #5: Phantom – Red Case (includes phantoms in 5 colours, NO PURPLE)
Item #6: Phantom – Yellow Case (includes phantoms in 5 colours, NO PURPLE)
but now, I've nothing to give. I own Carcassonne for only one year. But, I propose to post, on the forum, my French Tuckboxes PPT, adapted from JT Atomico and Scott templates. (I'm French).
Does it work ?

Hi yimhj! Welcome to the forums!

As you are a new member here, I am willing to send you one of the phantom cases in exchange for you sharing your French tuckboxes on the forums as these are effectively a gift to everyone at CarcC! Looking forward to seeing your work!  :)

Aww... This is so nice of you!  ^-^  :(y)

This is a really nice forum, full with nice people! I like it!!!  ;D

As for the spare bits to give away, I don't do multiple copies so I have nothing at the moment to give away, and nothing that I need either. :) Well I did get Wheel of Fortune yesterday and it had heaps of spare tiles, but they are all mixed together so I'm not quite sure yet which are part of WoF and which are not.. :)

I am however thinking about the magnetic board that I made for myself, with help from my boyfriends dad who made the metal part for me... I ordered some metal flat parts, and thought about making one for my cousin who also loves Carcassonne, and then I thought I MIGHT make one to give away here on the forum as well.... Only problem is the shipping... Hmm... The board and the meeple magnets I could make for free, but paying for the shipping cost, hmmmmm.... dunno...  :-\ Shipping a metal plate from Finland is expensive..  :o hmm... And I haven't even started on the project yet so it might not turn out the way I want it to... Gotta see how it goes.. :)

Great idea, Dan.

I don't have much to offer so I'm not looking for anything in return, but I have the following to give away.

1 x red meeple
1 x red messenger meeple
1 x red robber meeple
5 x shirt pieces to replace the cloth chips from T&B http://www.spielematerial.de/en/game-components/game-pieces/goods/hemd-kleidung-robe.html
5 x cloth stack pieces for the same use http://www.meeplesource.com/proddetail.php?prod=RedCloth

Also, I'm intrigued by your nickname! Can I direct you to take part in this post (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=1639.0) per chance?  :)

Also, also, your "Personal Text" message just made me laugh out loud at work. Thanks for that!  :))

Thank you Dan. I will post soon the file ; it is on another PC. I have made Tuckboxes for basic game, expansion 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 and Little Buildings. Your generosity encourage me to do the rest, even if I have not yet other expansions.

If still available. I'd take a copy of Besiegers.

I have loads of Carcassonne related I can offer back. I'll see what I can do about a list this weekend. One item on top of my tongue is a copy of The Catapult, still sealed.  :@

Hello Dan, thank you for the great initiative, I would like to have the item 9 "Set of Trade Tokens," I do not know how I did it but I lost them and I can not find, I think my child is responsible but I can not figure out where he hid them.
I can compensate by sending a free copy of "The School", it has the yellow bag, the teacher inside is blue.

I don't own the catapult so I'd be interested.  Thanks!

I'll have a look to see if I can offer something else.

You're very welcome to it! I'll send it sometime next week. Thanks for the offer of the catapult too, it looks like it has already been claimed while I have been typing this!

My kids do the same. Fortunately not with any of my Carc stuff but with pretty much everything else! Anyway, the replacement tokens will be winging their way to you very soon.

Thanks for your offer of The School too. I'll add it to the list!  :(y)

I'd like to offer a free download of the Carcassonne iOS app (iPhone or iPad not included!)

Please note that because of Apple's business model you must have a Dutch iTunes account, unfortunately. It sucks I know.   By the way it's perfectly legal, i've paid for it. I offered the game to a friend who sold his iDevice so I got stuck with it.

Some I got through a meeplesource KickStarter project (their first I think), and I also got a set from eBay which were the same as the ones from http://www.spielematerial.de/ Didn't seem like any point hanging on to these any more as they never get used anyway...

I had a feeling that "Bitteschön" might have been more appropriate but didn't dare attempt to spell it.

Even if I could, I think Jere beat me fairly convincingly the last time we played Carcassonne and since I haven't forgiven him yet I didn't want to be too nice or polite...  >:D

I'm pretty sure I see that Paul sent his Catapult copy to someone else. 

Kettlefish, if you still have a copy of the castles in germany, I would love to have them but missed buying them before they were removed from cundco . 

I have a lot of extra meeples I can send:

(http://i.imgur.com/BREqqnM.jpg)

Pink:
8 regular
1 mega
1 shephard
1 builder
1 pig

Purple:
8 regular
1 mega
1 shephard
1 builder

White:
2 shephards
3 mayors
2 pigs
2 barns
2 wagons
2 megas
2 builders
2 messengesr
2 robbers

1 Meeple Stickers sheet

If you don't mind painting some of the meeples you can add an entire set of pink & purple meeples to your set.

In case anyone is interested I also have the empty boxes for minis 1-6, princess & dragon, bridges castles & bazaars, abbey & mayor, the tower, and count king & robber.

I received a very neat package from kettlefish yesterday afternoon.  I carefully opened it up and saw the Windrose facing me, in a vacuum packed bag with a cardboard backing on it.  It being so delicately packed, I was not in a rush to open it and I didn't realize there were some hidden extras attached!

My goodness - I cannot express my heartfelt thanks enough kettlefish. Prior to opening your gift, I did not possess anything signed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede.  These things will certainly hold a special place in my collection; you are very generous.

I have been thinking hard about what I could do in return for the community here; and I do not think I have much that could equal what I received today.

I do have a number of printed Russian Tiles I was intending to share with people at the UK Championships this May:
http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=1684.msg22105#msg22105

Instead I will happily share what I have with anyone who would like them.

Though I am not a master tile-maker like many of this forum, I know there are many people that do not have the equipment required to produce their own tiles; I hope that my sharing the facilities I do have, I will bring some happiness to our Carcassonne Community.

Kettlefish, if it is not too much trouble, please extend my offer to those at CarcF also; I would hate to unleash my German on them in fear of saying something unintended!  :-[ :-[ :-[

Once again: Thank You!

Wow. Nice haul, Decar, and nicely done Kettlefish!

I'd love a pair of those fancy Russian tiles, Decar. In addition to the assorted pieces I've already listed, I now have all twelve count tiles to give away; unboxed but never used.

I want the Russian tiles too... but I've got nothing to trade. Most of my game collection is trapped in storage in Arizona—everything I have with me is essential goods (i.e., no spare parts). I think the only random bits I have around my house are a few 7 Wonders promo cards that snuck along in a box accidentally, and maybe a few promos from a Spielbox magazine I bought here.

You're welcome to a pair whaleyland - am I right i saying you're State-side?

Rather than donate perhaps you would consider this - I'm thinking out loud here:
Currently, I'm sending to one other person in the USA, but I wondered if I get more requests, perhaps you would be willing to proxy their tiles on. 
I'm guessing one packet containing 6 tiles to the USA costs less than 3 packets with 2 tiles each etc.  Obviously, you would incur some cost, but I don't know how much internal postage would be.

I should have final tiles done this weekend ready for a trip to the Post Office; so let me know!

Works for me! As long as the tiles don't cost too much in total. I've paid a lot for tiles over the years, but the $30+ for the Darmstadt expansion almost broke the bank. Those cost more than my Cathars tiles or Corn Circles I (which, to be fair, I found for pretty cheap on the German eBay when they first came out).

Sounds like a plan! Just to be clear - these are home-made not official tiles (as they are currently not in public-production) and I'm not asking anything for them.

Whaleyland/Andrew PM me where you would like them sent :)

Things were not so cheap when the expansion first released. It wasn't clear originally if the expansion would receive a public release so we got a user here to buy and ship copies to New Zealand last year. Had we known it would have been cheaper later, I probably wouldn't have done that. Fortunately, I also own Zooloretto and Catan, so other expansions were useful too.

Decar,

If you wanted to, I could be a US proxy for the russian tiles.  I don't mind spending the shipping cost for a few tiles for anyone else stateside who wants them.  Especially since my offer of meeples doesn't seem to be useful to anyone.

I told them and next, I received  the good extension and generously Cundco told me to keep the besiegers. So, I have a copy of this extension as I can send it to someone who would be interested.

Hi!  I have a set of point counters I made to give away.  They're just like the one's I sent Decar, but without his name :)  First to ask gets them

(http://i.imgur.com/p3UoU49.jpg)

They go from 0 to 450 in increments of 50 points.  I made them specifically for games of epic carcassonne where points can get pretty high :)

On closer inspection, they're not exactly the same shape, but they are very close. Also they're only slightly smaller, but of the same thickness as a regular meeple. You can check the piece out here http://www.spielematerial.de/en/game-components/game-pieces/persons/maennchen-stehend-11888.html (http://www.spielematerial.de/en/game-components/game-pieces/persons/maennchen-stehend-11888.html)

I'm assuming the your German Castles have already been snatched up? If not, I would absolutely LOVE to get them. Having recently discovered the world of Carcassone, I looked through almost all the expansions and I feel like my wife would like playing with German Castles more than with most expansions.
