If we only knew!  :o

In the list tile just updated on Cundco, it is tagged as a C2 expansion...

It seems what you see is what you get!

These expansions are difficult to get and their prices on eBay or BGG are kinda steep...

So if completionism calls, now it is the right moment to surrender.

Haha. What is interesting that I was asking to buy Japanese Buildings half year ago on cundco and they said no way.
Maybe somebody remembers eBay German Castles C1 for more than 100€...

Anyway funny that Japanese Buildings are old edition because it's part of Japanese C2 version of Carcassonne (like river and abbot)

Japanese buildings can still be obtained pretty easily, but not from Cundco.  Japanese copies of the base game (called Carcassonne J) all include the Japanese buildings mini-expansion.

Cheapest I've seen it available in the UK is about £60 on eBay, not sure if that's a standard price...I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much :(

That's really cool. It'd be awesome if either monasteries or cathedrals in Inns & Cathedrals were geo-localized to the various language variants through different publishers:
Hans im Glück (Germany)
Z-Man Games (UK, US)
999 Games (Netherlands)
Фантасмагория (Bulgaria)
Lautapelit.fi (Finland)
Κάισσα (Greece)
Brain Games (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania)
メビウスゲームズ (Japan)
Giochi Uniti (Italy)
Piatnik Budapest Kft. (Hungary)
Devir (Spain, Portugal, Brazil)
Grow (Brazil)
MINDOK (Czech Republic, Poland)
Rio Grande Games (Sweden)
Hobby World (Russia)

I think that there is a Farsi version too for Iran, but not sure.

That would provide for lots of variations! -  :pink-meeple:

Well Cathedral in Inns & Cathedrals are Neogotic cathedral from "historical" Carcassonne.
There was some initiative for "Country Monasteries" which was success Dutch/Belgian and Japanese.
There were also initiative to Spanish and Polish, but without final release. Possible to find some articles about it, also here in forum.

Anyway, when playing mega carcassonne we kept standard monasteries and also German / Japanese in game. When my wige of it, she reacts usually "Damit monastery" because she always place meeple as abbot on these monastic buildings. But che earns usually 30 points per German (or other) Monastery...

EXACTLY! It would be great to see:
Old Mission Dolores in San Francisco
Mission Dolores Basilica in San Francisco
St. Peter’s and Paul in San Francisco
St. Patrick’s in NYC
St. Peter’s in Rome
Wilmette House of Worship in Chicago (Ba'hai)
Jamkaran Mosque in Qom
Blue Mosque in Istanbul
St. Basil’s in Moscow
St. Sophia’s in Kyiv
Seville Cathedral in Seville
Notre Dame in Paris
Holy Trinity Cathedral in Jerusalem
Church of the Holy Sepulchre In Jerusalem
Ankor Wat
Chichen Itz in Mexico
Cathedral of St. Sebastian of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil
The Green Church in Argentina
Santuario de Las Lajas in Colombia
Basilica of the National Vow in Ecuador

These would be awesome for a triple base game! -  :pink-meeple:

That's not entirely true. Besides often including "Baby Meeple on Board" stickers, I've received a signed tile, bonus meeples, a sticker sheet, and two cloth carry bags as bonus items in large orders.

Post by: Decar on March 25, 2021, 01:19:00 AM
Ah the good old days.. Not seen a meeple sticker for a few years now. Most of the exciting gifts came around Essen. The bags are added to your order automatically. They are cool, but I do have rather a lot now  ;D I unfortunately left one between two boxes and the pressure over time caused the rubber to attach to the boxes. Be careful where you store them!  Probably worth saying this sale was to "make room" for the 20th anniversary editions, so who knows maybe there's a few oddities.

No sign of any sausages yet though.

It was on my mat when I came home today. I will make an intro post within the next few days on the introduction section.

Started with c2 but now that I've got a lot of c2 I'm really eyeing up c1. First heard about carcassonne about a year ago and yes quite recently got the catapult on an impulse buy.

Mine arrived yesterday too  :) :) :)  +1 merit from me Meepledrone, for the heads up, as this was indeed great news for me. 

I had all but given up on getting Japanese buildings, ebay UK had it offered at >£90 and it had not been available anywhere official since I started looking.

After seeing your post I ordered immediately despite being a little confused about Cundco calling it a C1 bundle.   Of course I had ( ;) ) to order some other bits to make the shipping worth while, but for <£65 inc. shipping I got the Easter bundle, a couple of map meeple sets, the meeple bags set, Spieldoch 1/2016 and Hunters & Gathers! :D  all for nearly £30 less than Japanese buildings was being offered for!!!

Was a couldn't-say-no situation.  ;D

I had an issue with the image on Windows so had to convert it first otherwise it would have been included already, here now :)

Wait, so this does exist in a C2 version?  :o    Edit: Or is it just a C1 version with a different green? confused..
 
I thought I was only missing 7 tiles from C2 now.  ::)
Title: Re: Easter Season Sale 2021 on Cundco
Post by: Meepledrone on March 28, 2021, 09:26:34 AM
The Dutch & Belgian monasteries are C1 only. There are two versions from two publishers: 999Games and HiG. Therefore the two shades of green and the different colors in some roofs..

Kind of a shame that it is not available for C2 (which could also of course apply to other C1 only expansions too)

But phew because it is not another potentially out-of-print, hard to obtain, apart from paying silly money to scalpers or being lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, like in this case, expansion that I need* for my C2 collection.

The seven tiles I am missing I have except I am not likely to own, for the most part because they go way above what I would (at least in my current frame of mind) personally consider too much for single tiles.  Not matter how unique/beautiful or the fact that they could be the only truly collectible C2 pieces.  And that’s before even considering actual availability.

So phew, I can go back to being comfortable in the knowledge that my C2 collection is ‘complete’ - in so far as it’s likely to be - at least until May/June or whenever emoji code6]

I know what you mean... Until you come across the right opportunity to solve the itching issue...  >:D

I started collecting C2 expansions only and ended up hunting for any C1 expansions I could grab... Even getting C1 versions of I&C, T&B, P&D and The Tower with and without expansion symbol... Just in case I would need to combine them in a large game...  :o

So never say never...  >:D >:D >:D

Yes. Never say never! I was strictly a C2 collector until recently. I purchased an original C1 game and have since purchased every C1 expansion I can get my hands on (feasibly). The rabbit hole runs deep. I really fell in love with the simplistic, but tasteful artwork.

I can't hate on scalpers too much though. While some things are ridiculously expensive, I am happy that rarer items can be tracked down worldwide in this time and age. I am also super happy that Cundco "found" some older stock and put it out there for us at a reasonable price! I had recently purchased Japanese Buildings at a premium, and was debating on taking the plunge for the C1 Castles before they came available (sorry corinthiens13. I would have purchased yours if Cundco hadnt ruined it for you ;D. Yours is the first reasonably priced Ive seen since searching!). 

Now I can only hope that they find some copies of Halb so wild II and Die Kornkreise lying around for the next sale!

I did not order a mega meeple because of the shipping price to the US, but in retrospect I wish I would have after seeing the picture of yours.

Didn’t get freebie SpielBox this time, but did when I ordered all 7 maps recently.

Would have probably ordered a mega meeple if available in the right colour! ;)
