In my pre-completionist days, I was happy with just the Ferries and Mage and Witch out of the minis. Then I decided to get the others too, but the Flier and Crop Circles II are the only other ones that I've played with so far. I'll have to try out one of the others on the next Carcassonne night.

By the way: This weekend I received my order from Carcassonne Shoppe. Thank you Ted, I'm so happy! Now I'm proud to be able to announce that my Carcassonne collection is officially complete! Yay!
:red-meeple: :meeple: :green-meeple: :blue-meeple: :black-meeple: :gray-meeple:

I didn't know those were the final ones, that's wonderful! Always happy to complete a collection  ;D

Btw, that gigantic city tile is a thing of beauty! I've been wanting to start collecting the Russian version, now I have a good excuse  8)
PM me for for a list of remaining items from the Carcassonne Shoppe.

Gah! I already have a Russian copy of the game - but not a big box like this one. Now I NEED that one-piece Count tile!

Anyone know how to buy this set?

I think we need a Russian forum member to get involved! Any takers?

I have many relatives in Russia and particular in Moscow. If the interest is so big I can contact them and ask if they would be so kind to deal with it.

I'm quite sure that mine is not the only one. The other CarcF members that shared the order with me where only missing this expansion too. :D So you completed 5 collections. Great, isn't it?  ^-^

BTW: Maybe you can get some of these one tile cities? At least you are able to get such great things like the Weel of Fortune starting tile and the River III, so maybe you also might be lucky with the count. ;)
However, on CarcF they decided to ask HiG if they where able to import some of the big tiles and sell them on Cundco.

Darmstadt and the festival were waiting for me when I got home.  Slowly filling in the missing pieces.  Must admit though that Russian city is niggling at me now.

I also have got that disease, and I ordered a copy of it together with Russian version of Hunters and Gatherers. My wife's cousine from Moscow will spend her vacation here in the end of March :))

Looks what arrived for me today!


That's a Belagerers (which in terms of the way I view completeness basically counts as a Cathars and a Siege for me too, though I'm sure some of you think that's sacrilege) and a Plague. Fortunately, the latter was shrink-wrapped because just about every token had popped out of the frame, hence you don't see it here.

Very much looking forward to playing with these soon. Thanks, Ted!

Wow, your Plague fleas are all over the place. Mine were nice and centred. I wonder what happened.

Hey, congrats! I'm quite fine with your definition of "complete". In my personal opinion "complete" means Belagerer + either Cathars or Siege, since C and S are (nearly) identical, but B is different. But, never ever wood I play with 10 Belagerer tiles, as this would be a point masacre without any fun! So being owner of six Belagerer tiles is absolutely complete (also, because HiG stated that this was the official reprint).  ;D

For a minute I thought you meant that I had presented them in the picture all scattered and I was like "Huh, I thought I organized everything pretty darn well..."

But now I see that you mean that the printing of the fleas is off-center. Not too big a deal, I guess. I'm just glad to have the expansion. But you're right, they're definitely not consistent from one flea to the next.
