hehe - I pre-ordered mine also.

So tempted to pre-order but I'll need to wait so I can convince my friends to grab a copy on the same order to save on postage costs

Am rather curious about this as well, but must hold off my pre-order until after next pay day! :-)

I'll wait and see what it is. I'll very likely get it, but just want to be sure.

Postage to USA was 6.54 EU. Not bad. Actually, it seems amazing that someone is going to get it all the way from Germany to my door for around $10.

That is what makes CundCo a real puzzle to me - the postage charges from there for a similar shipment are over 30 EU.

Read about this today. Took sometime this morning compiling a list of colleagues who live (across the border) in Germany, and can help me save on postage. It turns out that they are all not in today. I couldn't be bothered e-mailing them and wait for their reply; I HAD TO pre-order it immediately, so I put down my own non-German home address. (OK, the postage is not a lot more expensive; just trying to be dramatic.)

Cundco is indeed puzzling. I've ordered from Cundco in the past and the shipping was not bad, but last I looked the cost had gone way up. Not sure why.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's The Windrose...?

I think they confirmed in their newsletter that the included Carcassonne expansion it is indeed The Windroses.

Yep. It's Windroses. I just got an email from spielbox saying so.

Whaleyland · « **Reply #24 on:** September 18, 2013, 10:11:31 AM »

So now there are two things left to confirm: (1) Are the tiles the same tiles as the currently-available Windrose expansion? and (2) Are there any watermarks on the tiles? Either of these will probably warrant me getting this expansion still...because I am crazy.

Edit: I've just received the email too and have asked Barbara at Spielbox directly. I'll post the answer when I receive it.

I pre-ordered as well, so I'm curious what her response will be. Of course, with the general consensus here seeming to be that there are not enough of the Wind Rose tiles, having two sets (even if they are exactly the same) might not be too bad after all.

Lotas · « **Reply #26 on:** September 19, 2013, 07:23:38 AM »

Hmm, that's a good point. Should get more than one copy. I did that with all the minis and am glad I did.

Hi Derek,

yes this will be exactly the Windrose from the Carcassonne-on-Tour. Concerning the watermarks I have to check it. I'm not in office today and can let you know earliest tomorrow evening. But I assume it will be absoluty exactly the windroses like before from the Tour.

Best regards
Barbara

Looks like I won't be needing this item. Without the Spielbox pentagon icons, there's really no point for me.

Indeed, the two sets could be used together, or one could print JPutt's extra windroses and stick them to the tiles.

Part of me is hoping deep down that maybe the tiles will have different configurations, but I doubt it.

HiG facebook:

Quote

Es wird eine nahezu identische Version in der naechsten Spielbox geben, sowie die Windrose wie bisher bekannt ab Essen auch in unserem Online Shop.

Translation:
There will be a nearly identical version in the next Spielbox, as well as the Wind Roses as is previously known starting in Essen at our online shop.
-------------------------------
result:
Spielbox: nearly identical version means not the same as the well known Wind Roses which will be in the CundCo-Shop....

I think I know what HiG meant with this sentence...
