I would discard:

* Failed expansions:
   - The Catapult

* Redesigned expansions:
   - Crop Circles I

* Expansions released by spielbox:
   - The Tunnel
   - The Plague
   - Little Buildings
   - Cathars

* Expansions released by other publishers:
   - Cult, Siege and Creativity (RGG)
   - Russian Promos: "Baba Yaga’s Hut" and "The Choice of Bogatyr"
   - Russian Promos: "Solovei Razboynik" and "Vodyanoy"
   - Games Quarterly #11 (RGG)

* Commemorative expansions:
   - Darmstadt Promo

* Unofficial expansions:
  - La Porxada

* Expansions still on sale for C1:
   - The School

So we have these  options left...

* Expansions published by third parties and redesigned later by HiG:
   - Wind Roses
   - Besiegers
   - Monasteries in the Netherlands & Belgium

* Tie-in for a Big Box (Possible part of a Big Box 7 replicating BB5?):
   - River III (The Big Box 5 edition of River I)
   - The Wheel of Fortune

* The Phantom (A cool expansion ignored completely in the C2 rules?)

* Other notable options?
   - (A new one)
   - (Another)
   - (Another answer)

Let me guess...  >:D

This makes the "Expansions released by other publishers" still viable candidates ;)

Besiegers is HiG's response to Cathars and Siege...

I suspect that the next reprint will be Besiegers. Hans im Glück have already dismissed Corn Circles I and Catapult. That really leaves little left that hasn't been converted from Hans im Glück's official (not Spielbox or foreign associates) line. I think we'll still see Wheel of Fortune in some format, possibly with River III again in a revised Big Box, but I don't see that getting re-released as its own thing anytime soon. Windroses is really the only other expansion that qualified, but I never got the impression that people liked it much. Besiegers is definitely a better fit. That being said, I suspect a new promo expansion will come next, then Besiegers after that.

The winner seems to be "(A new one)"; possibly modified "Besiegers (or "Cathars" or "Siege")".

I think they just found an old crate in the warehouse, definitely not a reprint.
It's not for sale on its own on their website

Agreed, I think it's a nicely put together box of goodies and stuff which is a good one for their November/December sale. But I also don't think it's a reprint of the Phantom

What if this is just a test to detect any traction in re-release¡ing the Phantom as part of the 20th anniversary?  >:D

Expensive test for 40EUR. If you count all of us have most of those items. Except new expansion and candles ;-)
But those green meeples I LIKE THEM but you can't choose color ;-(

So definitely it is selling of items found in forbidden shelfs in warehouse ;-)

In my case the meeples would force me to get all the transparent sets (my OCD demands it). I've been resisting getting them for ages, since I'm not sure you would be able to tell their colors apart when mixing them all on the board.

A problem for them can become an opportunity for us!  ;)

I think I'm alone in this, but I would LOVE to have Exp.7 The Catapult in the new art! Even if I don't play at all,  ;D
I Know it is very hated, but I didn't played or even seen in person, as I'm kinda new to the game (almost 2 years) and the first art edition of the game is already rare in Brazil, I don't think we've got any big boxes or expansions from that, just the new edition, big box 6 and expansions 1 to 5.

I would like to see Wheel of Fortune as well! :violet-meeple:

It is not Besiegers: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lpd7pLyX6WwBzz7_iUp6LicJ06pFbch0/view. The winner is "(A new one)".
