Yeah I know ;)

Just a bit disappointed that "mini excl Die Kornkreise" is just a sticker, I thought it was a special box but it isn't :(

It's a pretty special sticker though, so dont let anyone tell you otherwise!

Is the sticker on the box or on the shrink-wrap plastic?

On the shrink wrap plastic,

no reference whatsoever on the back of the box also, just the plate of 6 tiles with the rules next to it (not shrinkwrapped either)

nice find that. is there any noticeable differences between this version of cc and a separate print run of the tiles?

do you have a set for a side by side comparison?
must...collect...more...tiles....

I think it is a standard box with components like all the editions with the sign "more than 6 million base game and expansions ..."

It might be a good start to find a used version of corn circle if people sell this box without noticing it containst this expansion.

Something a bit weird, the piles punches are not all green on the side but are white, I can take aditionnal pictures of the back if people need more infos about this specific box.

Nice!!! So you took the plunge no matter about the colour mismatches?

To be honest, I may have ordered it before knowing about the mismatches, but I couldn't be bothered to wait for Z-man to sort themselves out; perhaps they'll produce it with ANOTHER different shade; it seems impossible to guess!

That's a pretty big box for just one expansion Decar!

I'm not nearly so bothered by this as some people seem to be. But what's the alternative? Wait 15 years to see if we're happy with the P & D colour matching in Carc 3?

5 Shades of Grass in my garden and 4 types of brick on the outside of my house - Carcassonne is becoming more authentic with every release.  Besides the Carc 3.0 artwork is terrible Dan - the roofs are too red and the artwork too realistic for a tile-laying game; no one would dream of having it in their collection  >:D >:D >:D

My school expansion (yellow), halb is wild, windroses 1, and 12 blank tiles just came int the mail. Unfortunately, Cundco sent me halb is wild 2 and I ordered halb is wild 1. I don't feel like it would be nice to complain (I don't really care), but should I ask about it?
I donĀ“t trust you with putting back my tiles. You might put them back upside down...

Good point. But the dragon is the same size as the fairy so that means nothing... :P

I would drop them an email if I were you. Hopefully they will be able to send a replacement of the correct piece.
