Unopened Tunnel missing a token
« on: September 08, 2014, 12:49:53 PM »
Hello! :)

Quick question... Why is this un-opened copy of The Tunnel missing a blue token?  :o

Clearly there has to be some error from the manufacture side, back in 2009, right? Are there many of these out on the market, or is this one just a sad lonely error? :(

So among collectors, is this one completely worthless when it's not complete?  ???

Can this missing blue token be underneath this tile grid, between this grid and the cardboard that is at the bottom?

Spielbox magazine has very good customer service. My copy of the tunnels was damaged during delivery to my house, I sent an email with pictures: reply was quick and they sent another copy.

...but if you didn't buy directly from them, then I don't know.

Also, do they still have any copies?

Bought this from a private person, not spielbox.. :)

They wanted quite a lot for it, but I was able to convince the seller that this is not a collector item anymore when one token is missing, so I should get it for cheaper... He finally agreed, and well.. I only paid 5 euro for this, including shipping! :)

I'm happy about the price, but my boyfriend said it was too cheap for tunnels, so now I'm wondering if I screwed the seller, and should apologize and send it back? :( I really want this item, but I don't wanna screw people, because that means I'm gonna get screwed in future (I believe in Karma) and that I don't want... What goes around, comes around...  :-[

So can I open it and craft a blue token, or should I have paid more and should send it back?  ???

I think for this small money you wouldn't get it cheaper.
It is a good deal.

The tunnels are from Spielbox magazine, which cost around 4 to 7 Euro. Any price above that is screwing the buyer, I think.

Yeah I thought it was a good deal! :) I can easily craft another blue token. :)

I was just worried that maybe I should have paid more, but I'm glad to hear I paid the right price!  :))

Now I'm gonna open this baby up and add it to my tile bag!! =^_^= yay!! one expansion closer to complete Carcassonne!
