Does Cundco still have die Belagerer? I thought they sold out a while back!
Do you have a link to the page?
Good find!
Oh shoot, that was a typo. I'm going to edit my post.   Die Belagerer was from Halfling here on the forum.

From Cundco: Set of blank tiles, Watchtowers, unfinished set of meeples and Die Belagerer. Not picture, a blue bag for my Grandma and some replacement tiles. From Grooves-inc: Over Hill and Dale From Halfling here on the forum: Die Belagerer There is no manege frei meeple in the unfinished piece bag. I was not expecting so, but I was curious if there might be. There is an Abbott.

Until today I had decided not to pursue this goofy, confusing, garish-looking expansion, but for US $9.79 including shipping & currency conversion I said 'what the heck' and ordered it. (Almost added on the magazine with the Little Buildings, but they're such a big ho-hum that I was at least able to have some discipline and tell myself 'no' on those.)
Thanks for the heads-up, txema25; +1 merit for you.
Ugh the magazine with the little buildings is available? I missed that.

It's unclear whether cundco are selling the Circus ringmaster in thei store at this time.
The Kickstarter doesn't deliver till October, so plenty of time for Cundco to get the ringmaster in stock if they don't offer them already. You can now request replacement tiles in the new artwork. I do like the dragon and fairy.

Is anyone pledging for the Carcassonne custom shaped meeples from Meeple Source?
I found it here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meeplesource/game-upgrades-30-by-meeple-sourceI see that it is just fancy paintings for the Dragon, Princess, Teacher, Mage, Witch, Count. Then the extra colors Lime, Lavender, Salmon, Turquoise, Sky. $8.50 per color if you get all ten colors from this Kickstarter, or $9 for 4. The other colors can be purchased cheaper from Cundco. About $4.40 US with current conversion rates at https://cundco.de/en/accessories/87/carcassonne-meeple-in-sonderfarben if you use a no foreign fees transaction credit card and disable the Paypal conversion service. Cundco sent me the Abbot when I got Purple and Pink even though it isn't in the picture -- maybe I got lucky. Have to add a small amount for shipping, but there is shipping on the Kickstarter also. I don't yet have the Mage and Witch tiles, and haven't played the Count. Hmm will think about this Kickstarter for a bit.

My first Amazon.it order was shipped via UPS i Parcel and it took 9 days to get to me in the US. Amazon. De and IT say 10 days, so it was on schedule. I would not worry if your package sat for 3 days.
Amazon Italy was the cheapest place I found to buy big box 5 and it was sold by Amazon so no messing with other sellers. I wrote a post on here about how to save on conversion fees, but I'm on my phone and can't easily look out up.

I see it as, do link to things that are creative and add to the fun of the Carcassonne in ways that the publisher has not done already. Do link to fan expansions that are unique, have new artwork on the pieces, and or arrange the artwork in new never done by the publisher ways. For example I would link to the cool fan expansions by Wolnic. He is creating novel new mini expansions, with new tile artwork that adds to the base game. For example I wouldn't want to link to a high resolution scan of that cool 4 way round-a-bout tile in Catapult. Other than the Maze expansion it is the only tile that has all the roads connecting. If someone really likes that tile and prints it they wouldn't buy the Catapult expansion. I wouldn't link to an fan expansion called Super Highway that has a PDF booklet of rules with all the tile images in it. To keep going with this example, Super Highway uses the base game, plus all the road only segments from expansions 2 to 20. Then the rules booklet has high resolution scans of all the extra road tiles from the official expansions. The scans are entirely not needed in the rulebook, since this fan expansion rules could be told in a paragraph. Edit: I would link to a fan expansions of Dutch Canals, that adds river boat canals all over the tiles with nice bridge and tulip field artwork, but I would not link to a Dutch expansion where the city residents decided to celebrate the Kings birthday and painted all the roofs orange. This second example would be essentially a copy of the original tiles. +1 more vote for official russian mini expansions

Sorry, going to have to stop you there - the artwork on these tiles belongs to the Russian Publisher and Carcassonne Central does not have rights to distribute them. No doubt you can share them another way.
I assume it is not OK to share links to fan made edited tiles images of these official tiles that are all ready to print. That is why I shared a official post that the Russian Publisher published online and on their own social media channel. I certainly don't want to ever take business away from the game companies that make my favorite board game. I will never link to or upload digital image scans of official tiles. Please HIG make a reprint of the Russian tiles. I will purchase all 4 tiles, and future tiles as I like unique tiles in my game.

For people who print their tiles, you might like these two links below from the HobbyWorld.ru social media page at VK.com. Click the more link at the bottom right and open the original file, right-click and save it to your computer. A nice and big image of each of the tiles. You will have to rotate them to horizontal in a graphics application, apply a small amount of sharpening (counter softness added from unrotating). Or just print onto your sticker paper the rotated image.

 Can I buy the six tiles from Crop Circles I as extra tiles from Cundco?
No they don't have Crop Circles 1. Those tiles are crossed off the Tile Replacement List. They will refuse the order if you order all of one set at a time anyway.

UPS came this afternoon  Gifts for my parents and grandparents.  These were from Amazon.it I had selected the slower shipping rate to save money. The 10 day option. 10 days from my order would have been this coming Friday (2 days from now). Amazon was slow to get it out the door, so they ended up shipping it Monday as 3 day International shipping. Crazy.

Just receive two kinds of Dragon's metal coins. I will use it like reward for the quest and the hunt of my baby dragons. 
I really like the look of these coins.

My order came in from Cundco. Cloisters for Netherlands and Germany, German Cathedrals, Winter Expansions, 3 replacement    for ones that were deformed in my Big Box collection, 4 "replacement tiles". And a  that was supposed to be an entire set of brown pieces oops by Cundco. I dislike having them send a separate shipment over for one thing. I'm going to see if they'll just refund it, and I can order the brown piece set in my next order.

Thanks for the cloister story. The Carcassonne wooded bridges create some very imaginative landscapes and architectures for sure.
