Title: Dan's Spare Bits Giveaway 2017
Post by: danisthirty on November 01, 2017, 03:04:19 AM
Hello everyone.

I've had a couple of messages recently asking if I'm going to be doing a "Spare Bits Giveaway" this year, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling as I do indeed intend to do one, just hadn't got round to organising anything yet (yes, I'm lazy).

I won't go into any detail just yet, but please see last year's giveaway (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2896.msg42864#msg42864) if you don't know what I'm talking about as the 2017 giveaway will follow the same format. The most important thing to remember though is that this is an opportunity for all active members of Carcassonne Central (those with 20+ posts by the time I post the picture of all available items) to get hold of something that they're missing, because in these cases I'm happy to help as I know my items will be going to good homes where they will be enjoyed and played with. It's NOT an opportunity to get hold of something that you intend to put on eBay and profit from; that's not the point at all and I've taken a very dim view of anyone who has tried to do this in the past. >:( :(n)

I will update this thread at some point next week when I've decided what I'm giving away and have had a chance to take a suitable photo of it all. After that, it's over to you to decide what single item you'd like (and which is still available) and to claim it. Until then, have a think about what you'd be willing to give away to someone else in exchange for the item you claim, and let's make a lot of Carcassonne fans very happy in the process! ^-^

Dan :blue-meeple:

Merit to you Dan for doing this again. I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate while in Africa but hopefully other people will be able to get some desired items out of it. I hear there might be a Carcassonne for 2 (or five) up for grabs :)

Thanks JB! Happy (and safe) travels. :(y)

If I'm giving away 5 copies of Carcassonne for 2 I'd probably include all 5 as one item and call it "Carcassonne for 10"...

I'll start looking through my pile of Carcassonne stuff, and start to see what i will have up for offer :)

Following on from 2014 (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=607), 2015 (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=1655) and 2016 (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2896) I'm excited to announce that the 2017 giveaway is now live!

Here's what I'm giving away this year (look closely as some items are more obvious than others):


(http://www.dan.tehill.net/SBG2017_All.jpg)

(there are a total of 13 claimable items in the picture)

Everything you see pictured above is free (exclusive of postage) as long as you intend to provide it with a good home and will ensure that it is played with, enjoyed and appreciated. However, there are a few conditions which must be satisfied if you would like to claim one of the pictured items:

1. This giveaway is a gesture of goodwill intended for genuine Carcassonne fans looking to fill gaps and extend their existing collection. If you're hoping to make a profit by getting something for free and then selling it on eBay then this is not for you... :@

2. You must already be a member of Carcassonne Central with a post count of 20 10 or more at the time of this post in order to be considered eligible to claim an item. ;)

3. You may claim any item in the photo which has not already been claimed by someone else. Claims will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis so don't bother claiming something that has already been claimed.

4. If you wish to claim something you must have something else that you are willing to give away to someone else in return. It doesn't have to be of equal value either in terms of how much it would cost or how rare it is, but you must offer something worth owning in exchange for your item and be prepared to post it to the first person that might claim it (exclusive of postage).

5. You may claim one item only, even if you have more than one item to offer to the community in exchange. Nobody is eligible to claim more than one item. C:-)

That's it. Please ask any questions here and make any claim directly via this post rather than PM so it's obvious to everyone what's still available.

Happy claiming! :blue-meeple: :D


The following have now been claimed:
  • Watchtowers claimed by Jere
  • Crop Circles claimed by Willem
  • Darmstadt claimed by thodekey
  • Carcassonne for 2 claimed by Rosco

Correctly spotted indeed! ;)

I've added your items to the list - please can you confirm that you are indeed adding two items to the list, and also that I have worded this correctly (your phantom item is 6 phantom meeples in the transparent meeple-shaped case?)

I'd like to claim Cult, Siege and Creativity and give start Card of town of Carcassonne (from Russian set! with two town segments).

Added! As above, please can you check that my description in the original post is accurate?

May I request that really ugly tile in the bottom corner of the picture on the very bottom left hand side please?

I know it's rare so it will be kept with my other signed tile and I will allow it to be played twice a year, on the Birthday of Danisnearlytwohundred and Halloween when all things scary come out to play.

I will offer, for any real "I must have everything Carcassonne" fan, the extreamly rare Melvis Meeple of which there are only two (well there will be three) in the entire world.
Title: Re: Dan's Spare Bits Giveaway 2017
Post by: Squiffything on November 06, 2017, 11:07:58 AM
May I also claim something for a new young member who has shown an avid interest in the Carcassonne world and who I think should be encouraged and rewarded for his enthusiasm towards not only this game but board games in general.

It's not often you see that much interest from the younger guys so hopefully this will be approved by Dan.

Anything Carcassonne that is being offered and if it's not acceptable then I'll give up the ugly tile requested above. Unfortunately he's not got the post count to take part in the give away himself.

I'm interested by the Plague from thodekey. I can offer a set of 10 labels (this game belong to...) ; 1 pink label "Meeple on board" ; a set of wood barrels (9) and wheat (6) to pimp your "Traders and Builders" tokens.

Unfortunately I'm coming too late for claiming CSC, the only expansion I miss...  >:(
If someone else is able to put another copy of this expansion on the table I can still participate to the Giveaway with a sealed copy of the Tunnel.  ^-^

If it is acceptable to offer a fan-expansion, then I offer my Wanderer & Mayor's Office expansion with 8 tiles (printed labels on blank tiles), 6 wanderer and 6 office pieces.
If that's OK then I'd like to claim Dan's transparent meeples. Those are from MeepleSource, arent't they?

Sorry dude. That's a great item to giveaway but I only have one spare copy of C, S & C to spare. Maybe someone else will put one up?

I have just read through the list again and seen Dans comment on the Melvis meeple having spat out a mouthful of rum I'm now properly laughing out loud. It was a little tongue in cheek and there will be an extra or two added to the Melvis, If it's claimed. Although I have to agree with Dan it is a Carcassonne collectible worth having and soon to be endorsed by the head honcho :)

(Anyone got KJW's email address so I can contact him?)

Sorry for the delay, I've managed to dig out my duplicates now that I'm all packed for a work trip to London. I can offer a shrink-wrap copy of Kathedralen in Deutschland and Die Schule (with blue bag and matching teacher).

I'd also like the GQ#11 expansion if there's anybody else who has one available. 

If there's nobody offering the GQ expansion then I'll happily claim the Kathedralen in Deutschland from Rich_The_Fish, who is awesome for offering it  :)

I have something very very rare to offer: It seems that I have a copy of the First Edition rules, in French language (en Francais) which shows the OLD instructions for scoring farms.  I know it's not useful to most people but I figure someone on here might enjoy having it.

I'd also like the GQ#11 expansion if there's anybody else who has one available. 

So here's a possible plan, with Dan's approval of course. I have a copy of GQ11 new in bag (although not all of the tiles always want to remain in their spots on the frame, grr). I'd be willing to post that for you if Dan will allow your "pre-claim." Fortunately for Willem, my time machine's not working today and thus I will suffer no temptation to try to rewrite history and beat him to the crop circles. (Although I do suspect that Willem's own time machine must have played a part in my failure to get there first in the prime timeline. Also, which one of you time-traveling pranksters took my banana bread?) Anyway, so instead I guess I would request the Japanese temples, if they're still available.

Well actually, i traveled back to claim Carcassonne Le Sac from Dan's Spare Bits Giveaway 2021, but my time machine malfunctioned, so i was send back too far.
As i have to wait now for that to come, i figured i could use this time to get my hands on some other stuff. Never thought i would be able to get so many old things, as the market of leipzig and spiel tiles! They are soooo rare in my time ;)

Welcome to our time Willem! :D

Sadly, I think the only way a Le Sac is ever going to appear in one of my giveaways is if someone I know with a time machine ( ;) ;)) goes back to 2000 and gets a few of them from Essen.

Catch you sooner,

So you're claiming the Japanese monasteries and offering a copy of GQ11 in its place? And mPony is pre-claiming the GQ11 and offering a set of First Edition rules in French? If so, I'll allow it because it seems like mPony is offering something quite unique that may be of interest to someone...

I'm also putting up a Home made La Porxada tile and rules sheet with a second set of Sailing the Seas sheets so that Samuel may make a selection from the list to help boost his collection. I've cleared this with Dan so Samuel, choose away and look at it as a birthday present from all here at Carc C :)

A couple of things to point out:

- In light of the fact that I still have two things to give away (see picture) and that there is also much unclaimed goodness available from many other wonderful people, please note the following rule change:

2. You must already be a member of Carcassonne Central with a post count of 20 10 or more at the time of this post in order to be considered eligible to claim an item. ;)

- If you have claimed something from me then please drop me a PM with your current address. I plan to get most things to the post office at some point next week so it would be good if I can get everything addressed and ready to go this weekend.

- If you have claimed something from someone else, please ensure that you are in communication with them via PM to share your postal address and express gratitude etc.

Many thanks to everyone for your involvement so far! :) :(y)

I'm Adding to the list, the game CardCassonne(Dutchversion) and the 18 tiles from "De Uitbreiding"(I&C, those without watermarks ;) and I have spare meeples but that I need to look at :-[. but that comes with the 18 tiles  ::) ).

I don't know if Cletus81, has put his copy of the Tunnel for giveaway, if yes I would like to claim that one.

Sorry, but this copy of the Tunnel is my best chance to get CSC avoiding to pay an unfair price for a pure completionist's expansion...

Yeah I could understand that. Hopefully you can find one. I only have the second version ::)

You're trying to turn your Tunnel into a CS&C, while I'm holding onto my CS&C and looking for Crop Circles I ... if we could just find a third person who has the crop circles and wants a Tunnel, we could make one very happy trade-triangle. :)

Samuel has informed me that due to logistic problems, he is unable to claim cardcassonne from sincerely.
He instead will be claiming the windroses 1 from my offer (as we're both UK, it's a bit easier)

mPony's package finally got shipped on Wednesday.

Unfortunately it turns out the dog ate my GQ11, so I asked my daughter to substitute a prize of equal or greater value. She sent you her old used Snuggie (size extra small, so I hope you're a tiny man).

Just kidding, of course! Snuggie doesn't come in XS size! She had to take it in using her Hello Kitty sewing machine. Did a pretty good job for an amateur, but the thread is pink. You'll get used to it.

In other news, I've just got back from the post office!

Packages are now on their way to: Belgium (x2), Hungary and the Netherlands. Next visit to the post office is likely to be early next week, and will include the remaining 5 packages (all UK).

Final items have now been posted. I'm hoping everyone will get their stuff at around the same time now - either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Don't forget to post about your love for your postman when your item arrives! C:-) :-*

Package received!  Much to my surprise it isn't an extra small pink Snuggie after all.  Also, the Post-It note trick worked like a charm!  Many thanks :)

Wait, what ... you got tiles? Then who the heck did we send our unwanted clothing to??

Glad to hear that the customs office didn't wreck the tile cocoon. Enjoy!

Plenty of phantoms arrived today in my home. They are most welcome. :)
Thank you very much, Dan.

BTW, now I can offer my 6 original Phantoms. But without the meeple-shaped box that I'd like to keep.

I think I've seen messages from Squiffything, Rosco, Halfling and Willem so far. Please can you confirm if/ when you receive your package if you claimed anything from me? Thanks...

I would like to claim the GQ expansion. I can offer an unused copy of wind Rosen 2 and an American railroads expansion for Russian railroads shrink-wrapped.

Hi Jesusgas. To confirm, you have the Spielbox (2013) wind roses? The one in the attached picture from the CAR? If so, then I'd like to claim it, thanks!

I'm very happy with my GQ11 I got from JustABill.  Of course I'd like another but we are limited to one item each.  I guess everybody else is not interested this year.

If no one else is interested, can I have Leven's Wanderer & Mayor's Office expansion?  I have always wanted to see how home printed tiles look up close.  The rules that go along with it seem easy to follow, so my wife may enjoy it too.

If you want the Windroses II, you can claim mine.  They are the ones without East and West (O) listed on them.   You can see a picture on page 3 of this thread.

Yes, I'll gladly take them, thanks! They weren't in the post that lists what's available on Page 1, so that's why I didn't see them. I'll send you my details in a PM.

Sorry for the delay. I’m having personal issues and didn’t have time for anything lately. First I want to thank halfling for the gq11. If somebody is interested in what I offered please be a bit patient I’ll send it as soon as I can.

Thanks, Dirk is sending me the wind roses instead. I hope everything is OK.
