Thanks Dan  :)

A knight is sworn to valour.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked.

Postie brought me this today....I'd better get hold of hunters and gathers ASAP!



I've seen it a few times on eBay lately, mostly second-hand copies. Brand new I've seen it go for the some crazy prices!

Thanks Dan  :)

You're welcome. Just one left to find now!

Think I hit lucky because it Looks new to me.  A little over £6 delivered from Germany; postage cost about 55%!  Didn't think it was too bad overall, it's not like it's in print!

Having re-read my post, it's apparent that I was expecting you to be psychic in realising that I was talking about Hunters & Gatherers (the game)! Sorry about that. This join expansion for it and Carcassonne is much easier to get hold of but it looks like you paid a fair good favourable didn't get ripped off price for it...

LOL. Yes actually having re-read everything, your actual question probably made more sense!  Hunters and Gatherers may have been this weekend's purchase!  I probably paid over the odds for it; but it's done now.

TBH, I'm never happy getting brand new items that are out of print.  It makes me feel guilty popping the tiles and actually playing with them.  As long as it's complete and in good-nick I'm usually happier than having something pristine I feel I shouldn't play with!

I got these today:



The robot is about the same size as a meeple and came as a surprise gift with a new set of Monopoly Deal cards (our old ones were getting very tatty). I think he's supposed to be a replacement token for normal Monopoly but since I haven't played that for years and don't expect this to change any time soon I haven't decided what I'm going to do with him yet. I am however open to suggestions for "Carcassonne: The Robot"...

Two hauls great today!

First Up: delivery from Amazon.de - south sea was 10Euros which is significantly cheaper than in the UK!  I failed and succumb to the temptation of Winterfest.



I also managed a great ebay find. 

Which spent 8 days in a depo in Germany before being delivered to the wrong part of the City.  I ended up stalking the guys house to find where my package ended up.

Yellow, having posted the fantastic AoC to me before Christmas will vouch for my unique address.

Somehow it was delivered to the equivalent of:  London Road, rather than London.

Anyway, lots of duplicates in here for me, but check out what sits in the middle.  I'm now functionally Carcassonne-complete *YAY*. 



Though I need a cathars and Windrose 1 or 2 if I'm super pedantic!

Mine arrived also! Thank you very much, Dan! I was considering to buy these wooden trade goods, but now I've got them from you! :D

I got these today:




Mine is stuck at a post office in France. They put the name from the billing address (i.e. mine) rather than the name from the shipping address (which was a c/o), so the friend I had it sent to is unable to pick it up for me until I sign a form permitting her to pick it up and lend her my ID - or go there myself, but it's quite far away and even more so on public transport. So, no Siege for me until next Monday at the earliest :(

No problem. Well done for winning them!

You're welcome. Have you seen these available to buy elsewhere recently then? These were from meeplesource as part of their Kickstarter. There are some on their site at the moment but they're not the same as far as I'm aware...

That sounds very annoying. At least you know what is going on with it. Sounds a bit like the hassle I had trying to get Ark of the Covenant into the country from America!

Excellent stuff. Enjoy!  :(y)

I see the cloth and wheat options on MeepleSource... but do you remember what you used for the wine? They look great, and I'd like to order a set for myself! :)
