For me, the standard expansions are of no interest ATM! But any new mini expansion will be sought out and bought immediately. Once I have a selection of 2.0 tiles, I may start buying the base game and standard expansions but I dont like the design and it will only be to be able to play a consistent game without the putrid looking mix or tiles and colours.
A little of both. I like to have a complete collect but I also like to be able to make back what was spent so I may for example buy 3, one for me, one to sell cheap/give away and a third to try to sell for a nice profit. Therefore I am satisfying all aspects
A couple of thoughts from me:- While it's certainly annoying to pay high prices for rare expansions, it also increases the 'collectability' of the game. So I've tried to have fun with this aspect of my Carcassonne fandom and have prized those rare expansions when I finally got them. Part of the appeal of having a complete collection is the process of having to find all of the different things - if you could order every single expansion from one place with just one order, then it would be a less satisfying way to complete your collection. Of course, buying 20 copies of the Cathars in 2004 would have also been nice. - It seems to me as though if HiG doesn't want to repeat the Carc 1 experience with hard to get expansions, they don't have to. They will have learned from those experiences (especially Cathars) and surely could ensure that they always have the ability to reprint any expansion and sell it on Cundco if it becomes difficult to obtain anywhere else. Or does it benefit them somehow to have hard-to-get expansions floating around on ebay and BGG?
