Oeh, tricky one..
I own the Tower, but have only played it once when we were in Holland and played with my brothers set
I own the Festival, but bought it via marktplaats (dutch second-hand site), and my sister collected it for me so I didnt have a go at it yet.
Travel version same; my parents have that one now
Then I have the Robbers and the King&Robber (have used the 5 extra 'normal' tiles, but not the longest/biggest road/city) but never played them.
We've only played the WoF and the Catapult once (both yesterday!) and will probably use them again :P

I have not yet played The Catapult, nor Hills and Sheep.
I have all the minis except Mage & Witch but I have only played The Flying Machines.
Any suggestions as to what I should start with? I know everybody loves the Catapult.
Right now I like the Tower the best.

1.  Catapult  (still in the mail)
2.  Tower (still in the mail)
3.  The plague
4.  The tunnels (still shrink wrapped)
5.  Dutch Monasteries (will probably never open)
6.  The siege.  (Played Besiegers though, if that counts)

Jungleboy,

Next time you play your wife, get out the Messengers.  Mine really likes that expansion.  Maybe it was because she was previously a math teacher and it reminded her of 3rd grade math games or maybe because she pulled the majority of the messages.  It was better than I thought it would be.

Bump!

Plague, Little Buildings and Catapult.
Same here, although I used the Catapulttiles in a game without using the Catapult.

Fliers and Mage & Witch are my favourites, but I also like Goldmines. Ferries is universally well-liked but I've never played with it. And I've not played with Robbers or Messengers either.

Unfortunately my wife doesn't play Carcassonne (and hates math, which is part of the reason she doesn't like Carcassonne!).

Ferries is universally well-liked but I've never played with it.

Really? That's a surprise - Ferries is great. Expansions that increase the value of roads can add so much to the game.

Ferries is the best mini IMHO.  If I could only own one mini, that would be it.

I have little house, the new cloisters from different countries, and windroses still in shrink wraps.
School houses affect only the beginning, and we play mega-carc, so it's not that interesting. I greatly appreciate the idea and effort to condense the two-tile-school-houses onto single tiles. (We are allowed to talk about those even though they are not published as fan-expansion, eh?)
Me and my friends tried messengers, ferries, robbers, the Count, bazaars, and castles (from the same big expansion as bazaars), but didn't like the mechanisms.

Seeing that I'm not the only one not getting along the count, I decided to come back and say more...
The count interrupts the game too much... When we tried that, we just put a meeple in Carcassonne, and every time some one finishes something, we have to ask everyone. To me, it's just a hassle and the worst element in the game. Other mechanisms are either not interesting or not interesting enough to us.

Oh, I totally forgot about the count.... I can't convince me to play with him.

There are quite a lot, I played only on JCZ, but never at the table. Not listing these, I have yet to play but own:

The Plague
The Count
The Messengers
The Robbers
The School
Halflings I (I think at least, I only included set II in my game of H&S)

I must say, "The Plague" is probably the one, I'm most eager to try out. Unfortunately I didn't get anybody from my family yet to try it. I would also like to play more "Ferries". Only one game to date, and I liked it a lot!

Do you own expansions you never play yet still rush out to buy new ones?
