Catching up - What I "need".
« on: July 23, 2013, 11:12:22 AM »
So I would be really intersted, now that I'm hanging on to my collection, to bring it up to date.  I am in need of Windrose (I think I'm getting one of the leftovers), The School (which I believe is still available at Cundco), The Little Houses, The Plague (I traded it) and the original Kornkreise which I'm sure is very difficult to get at this point.  I had been hoping for the release of the Plague, Tunnels, and Corn Circles expansion, but I see that's not happening.  Anyone have any extras of these lying around?  If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

- The little houses - Spielbox - perhaps they have some in their shop.
- The School - CundCo and in a short time also the shop at z-man games.

Spielbox expansions might still be available through Spielbox.

Yes, as Scott says The Plague and Little Buildings are both available in their magazines from Spielbox.

Cundco for The School, but the others are harder to come by.

As you can see from the prices on BGG marketplace, Die Kornkreise is starting to rival Die Katharer for rarity! I picked up a copy from German eBay for 20 euros a few months ago, so you can find it at not-totally-insane prices if you are willing to be patient and check often.

Sorry, I don't have extras - but the links mentioned in the prior posts are good sources. I've bought all the Spielbox mags to get my copies - and The School from Cundco.
I just drew the perfect tile for my MonKnighThieFarmer!

I'm in the same boat re. the original corn circles- I'm kicking myself for not getting them when they were available at cundco. Little buildings I'll probably buy eventually from spielbox, other than that I just need the festival (I'm hoping the carcassonne shoppe gets some at stock at some point in the future).

Meepleater, the cheapest way that I have found to get The Festival is to buy the German version of the Anniversary edition. You can get a used copy from Amazon.de for 7.95 euros (+ shipping).

The (+ shipping) is the catch- shipping to Australia is nearly double the cost of the game, which is why just getting the festival tiles, though more difficult, would be much cheaper. If I can't end up finding it anywhere else I might get it from amazon like you suggest or ebay.

I have found Spielbox not too bad. Get in before they go though. (I live just over the ditch so postage should be about the same. Same with The School from Cundco.
For The Festival tiles, go to http://hoardobits.com. The price was better than anything else I could find. Can someone confirm though if the tile backs of the 10th anniversaty set are a lighter shade of grey? I also got some blank tiles too.
I was lucky and got the Corn Circles off BGG a few months ago at a good price, and even better got what I believe was the last retail priced copy of Cult, Seige and Creativity on the interweb about a year ago.
That just leaves The Cathers (I know I have the seige, but they are different and I want the lot. I also got into the Carcassonne Expansions just after Spielbox had reprinted the tiles and were already sold out), La Porxada and Windroses to collect. I am looking forward to Cundco selling The Windroses later in the year, but think the others may be out of reach.

Wow thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. :) Ordered.

Your welcome. The link was mentioned on BGG. I do note that the backs are slightly lighter. Not sure if that is something to do with the printers changing for the 10th anniversary sets or what. The stock is showing a11 sets and has been for the post week.

Well now there are 10 sets. :)

I'll probably wait a while for little buildings (have to ration spendings), then that will just leave corn circles 1 (I made my own La Porxada).

My brother's favorite game chain in Norway had "the House". He didn't realise how hard it was to find otherwise he would have picked up a few more copies. In the next week he will call them up and see if they have any left. I'll report back soon

Wow, I searched for Carcassonne on Hoardobits and a lot of stuff came up.
