Have fun!
EDIT: Added images.

That is good, but why are Japanese building in old edition bundle :o
-
If we only knew! :o
In the list tile just updated on Cundco, it is tagged as a C2 expansion...

Do any surprises come with the bundle, in general? Or just the specified items? - :pink-meeple:
-
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.
-
And to think I just paid a mint for the Japanese Buildings ;D! Owell, good time to stock up. I still need the C1 Castles.
-
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)

Alas, I paid a mint for Japanese monasteries. Aye aye aye.

This has happened to us all... **Sigh**
This was totally unexpected... And for some it must have been great news. ;)

Alas, I paid a mint for both Dutch monasteries and a separate mint for Japanese monasteries. Aye aye aye.

Showing as sold out now. If anyone got a set and doesn't need the Japanese buildings, I would be interested in buying them.
-
Already sold out? :o
That was quick! I bought it for the Japanese buildings and Belgium monasteries. But if anyone is interested in the C1 German castles, send me a pm :yellow-meeple:
-
Received a note this evening:
> Unfortunately there was a mistake about the size of the Mega-Meeple. The Mega-Meeple is round about 17,5cm x 18cm x 5cm.
-
Noo I just saw this. I needed those Japanese buildings :(
-
Very serious Monday shock for me. I failed to monitor my favourite info source for one mere family weekend and here we go, what a miss >:( I´d love this bundle, just if I knew... Well, life is full of missed chances ;) If anyone has a spare copy of Japanese buildings or Dutch monasteries, I am more than ready to help!
-
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:

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Has anyone received their Paques package yet? Were there any surprise bonuses? - :pink-meeple:
-
Not a sausage.
It very unlike HiG to hide stuff in their packages, so don't build hopes up.

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.
-
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.
-
Got it today :D
Nothing special added :yellow-meeple:
-
Photo or it didn't happen!

Ha ha, here it is ;)
Monasteries and Japanese buildings already punched out, I couldn't wait :yellow-meeple:

Excellent, sorry to delay you. Merit from me.
I think this might be the best single set of non matching green tiles yet!

What country did you get it delivered to? I cant wait to get mine delivered.

Very nice corinthiens13 :red-meeple:. I'm sure I have another 6-8 weeks before mine show up!

Congrats for your first post! When did you join the ranks of Carcassonne fans? Did you started your collection with C2? I see you have some C1 expansions too including the Catapult!

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.

Well, those were two expansions I didn't own, I had the German Monasteries and thought this was enough... Now I'm really happy to own the three versions of the monasteries :yellow-meeple:
-
Do you mean C1 Monasteries in Germany and the two versions of the C1 Monasteries in the Netherlands & Belgium by 999Games and HiG respectively?
https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Monasteries_(1st_edition) (https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Monasteries_(1st_edition))
-
No, I mean
- Monasteries in Germany (C2)
- Japanese buildings (C2, that I didn't own)
- Monasteries in the Netherlands and Belgium (C1 as C2 sadly do not exist yet, that I didn't own)
-
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
-
Picture or it didnt happen ;D
-
Well, here you are the order including a family reunion with the Dutch & Belgian monasteries by 999Games (punched out tiles).
-
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. ::)
-
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..
-
That is both kind of a shame and a ‘phew’ moment emoji code846]

How so?
-
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!
-
Don't worry totec, mine is from Cundco's easter sale too, I was only interested in the other two expansions :yellow-meeple:
And my prices here are lower than my prices on Geekmarket >:D
-
Contrary to my previous comment, I totally forgot that HiG sent me a free copy of a Spielbox magazine with my Essen order. Likewise with today's delivery from the Easter bundle.
-
It may happen form time to time if you place a large order. I got a free Spielbox magazine issue out of the blue with one of my orders last year. ;D
-
My Easter Bundle showed up! Oddly enough, it showed up the same day as another Cundco order that was placed almost 2 months earlier (right side of picture). I am glad the mail is moving faster again!
-
Great photo totec, +1 from me.
Glad both your orders came together ;D
-
Thank you Decar. And for the record, I did not get any extra goodies this time :( ;D.
-
Maybe next time. Seems to be when you order a game or spend a lot.
Did no one else order a mega meeple?
-
Maybe, but I wont hold my breath!
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! ;)
