Haven't heard anything regarding spinoffs, but I'll ask. I doubt that Ark of the Covenant is part of the license agreement.

I'm definitely planning to pick up another copy just to get the watermarks. I bought Wheel of Fortune, and I bought the 10th Anniversary Edition. I have no regrets, but I am a completist.
In this case of CK&C, it's old bundled with older. Nothing new is being released until at least October. Z-Man Games is doing exactly what they did in France (Z-Man and Filosofiagames are run by the same people), and they're following what HiG does in Germany. Z-Man has much more regard for the fan base than RGG ever did. Whenever we would contact Jay, he would never give complete answers. With Z-Man, Kalinda is happy to tell me anything that she knows. I've also had good communication with her manager, Martin Bouchard, and kettlefish has had good communication with the CEO, Sophie Gravel. HiG has excellent regard for their fan base with their Carcassonne-on-Tour events, fan meetings, meeple kubb, and regular telephone conversations with kettlefish.
I won't fault anybody that would like certain things which are not currently offered, but I feel that insulting the publisher(s) is not the appropriate response.

On the left there's a green thumbs-up icon.

No, I have to disagree with that. There's a subtle difference between a BigBox compilation and permanently combining small expansions into a large expansion.

When I teach the game, I start with the base game only (excluding river) and then add one expansion each subsequent game. I think there is too much to remember if you throw people in the deep end.
Expansions such as river, I&C, T&B, King, GQ11, etc. tend to stay as expansions are added. Expansions such as P&D and Tower are played once and then set aside.

I sympathize with your position, but I don't view either publisher as being deliberately inconsiderate. It has been several years since the small expansions were released and people had plenty of opportunity to pick them up. The "compilation" supersedes the individual small expansions. Some people will buy the new version, and those who don't want to can buy the individual ones used from other players. If you want to be angry, direct it towards the people who sell used expansions on eBay for more than what they paid for it.

Just received confirmation from Kalinda at Z-Man Games: the large expansions are being published in order with no plan at this time to publish anything separately. Neither River 1 nor 2 is being published separately. Cult is not being published separately.
Kalinda receives many emails and Facebook messages asking for separate small expansions. She has no decision-making power, but she passes your requests along to those that do.
The next release will be Abbey & Mayor, and after that will be Count, King & Consort. The dates of these releases are not set in stone yet, so there will not be an official announcement from Z-Man until they figure that out.

If I lived near WDW I would totally help you out with this, but I don't. Kickstarter is definitely the bane of my existence. My spending has gotten completely out of control.

I think perhaps the concept of a "Big Box" is starting to lose appeal. It seemed a strange marketing tactic to me from the beginning. The more you already have what's in the Big Box, the less likely you will be to purchase it. They're really only good for people just getting into the game, and as the market becomes more saturated, the number of new players drops.

I don't see it as being likely, but I'll certainly pass the comments along to my contact at Z-Man.

Z-Man announced this week that The Tower was back in stock at Alliance. Still no word on the next release.
River II is included in the license agreement, so it will be reprinted, the question is whether it will be sold separately or bundled. I expect bundled with King, Count, and Cult.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of figuring out how much all that Munchkin stuff was worth.

This is the saddest post on the forums; four great games. I've been thinking about getting into Munchkin since it was featured on TableTop, but I've yet to make any purchases. I'm interested to know what's in your collection.

Good idea; I'll add it to my to-do list.
