Yes it works!!

Looks good,

do you still have the file with the images on the dividers? I would love to use some of them!
Title: Re: I finally completed my Carc collection!

ha, SRBO beat me to it.  I think your collection looks very tidy and I love the icons you're using too; where did you find them?

Thanks for sharing!
Title: Re: I finally completed my Carc collection!

I have some of those.. but not all:P

I found and edited some of the internet.

Most of the icons are available on BGG (here: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/87040/carcassonne-icons-and-logos-mostly-vector).
The only icons missing were those for the new River, Darmstadt, the Phantom and the Halflings, which I made myself.

For my dividers, check this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/39oc1ely0bmoizg/Carc%20icons.pdf?dl=0

Thanks a lot; these are really cool.  I'm going blind; where are your halflings tucked away?

Halflings are in the lower right corner  ;)

Indeed it is! Including the scoring tiles and counting the halflings as half tiles, there's a grand total of 430 tiles. And a lot of wood, too  ;D

Wonderful, man!

I wonder where to buy this plastic box? Is there any box as big as Big Box so they are just fit for each other?

Well, take another Big Box.  >:D
If you want something that fits inside, you could take the box of a base game or of two or three expansions.

This year I added some new promos to my collection, namely German Castles, German Cathedrals, Labyrinth, Russian tiles and phantom boxes in all 6 colors. I also tidied up a bit the space inside the box adding a second, smaller plano box where now all the wood is stored. emoji code4] (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/03346065a54a256db79e4f96e5548d27.jpg) (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/38580a13eb7e8aeed37eb42b9267476b.jpg) (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/10f2e9279eaee36537913f70b2021fde.jpg) (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/fb4f5f0c17211983d36c364fa99f515f.jpg)

Well done.  I'm a different sort of completionist I guess.  I don't need all the stuff that is copied, like three different forms of Cults, etc.  The few things I need at this point are Crop Circles 1, Darmstadt (sp?) and the Russian tiles (are those in the old artwork or new?), and Labyrinths, there is one in each style, right?  I don't have Cathers, but I don't think I need it with Siege.  I don't have any new art and don't plan on getting any.

You are no different than me, actually. I only have one version of the Cult (the one included in expansion 6), own Cathars but not Siege, only one version of Wind Roses (the "international" version, non the German one). I also find the new edition quite appalling, visually and have no intention of collecting expansions pertaining to it

Well im kind of the same as you are.. I already got it complete.. But I consider all the russian stuff different as some kind of 2.0 edition or winter edition..

Each to their own when it comes to completing a collection.  We're all the same when it comes to enjoying a game of Carcassonne.  Hopefully we can help each other when it comes to finding those hard to find pieces.  Even if you're not inerested I'm sure you know someone that is and we can help them out.

Well done again to gabrielgeek for demonstrating a tidy collection!

It looks like there's always something more to make a collection "complete"... Recently added: white, orange, brown and neutral meeple sets, Cult Siege and Creativity, Japanese Buildings,  La Porxada
Title: Re: I finally completed my Carc collection!
Post by: Valheru on February 17, 2017, 11:22:12 AM
That Porxada, is that an original one?  :o
Title: Re: I finally completed my Carc collection!
Post by: Gabrielgeek01 on February 17, 2017, 11:32:03 AM
No, just a nicely printed one emoji code16]
Now I'm hunting for the last two Russian promos
Title: Re: I finally completed my Carc collection!
Post by: danisthirty on February 19, 2017, 01:03:41 PM

The original ones weren't even tiles, they were just stickers. I've never seen one of the original stickers up for grabs anywhere, and I don't suppose I ever will. But since it's an unofficial expansion anyway, a well-printed tile like this is a great compromise!

Good luck with your final two tile Gabrielgeek01...

So it IS legal  to buy homemade copies of La Porxada because it's an unofficial expansion, but it's not legal to buy homemade copies of the Fortune Tellers and the Russians because they are official expansions and owned by HiG. Is that correct?
Title: Re: I finally completed my Carc collection!
Post by: Halfling on February 20, 2017, 12:20:04 AM
I didn't buy my La Porxada.  I found an image online (Probably BGG), printed it out and stuck onto a blank tile purchased from Cundco.

I expect most people do the same?

Does the tile have artwork or assets which belong to HiG?
If yes, and it is being sold without license or permission from HiG, then the answer to you quesrion is: No. HiG have provided us a statement which does not define an official or unofficial expansion. This is no concern of theirs.

Post by: totor66 on February 21, 2017, 04:12:19 AM
I know it has been said a thousand times already but the russian promo tiles just exist with a K on the back right ?

I am not hunting for them just for that reason actually; for me the back is what makes an expansion legit :)
Title: Re: I finally completed my Carc collection!
Post by: Willem on February 21, 2017, 05:04:32 AM
Yes, if you see them somewhere with the regular C on the back, its probably a fan-print.
The official tiles are with the K on the back

Post by: Gabrielgeek01 on February 21, 2017, 05:15:49 AM
I wonder if HiG would consider distribution of the 4 Russian promos with the classic back in their online store as a mini expansion (as they did with Japanese temples)

They normally give us something new for Easter and that would certainly be a great Easter surprise.
